Scacchi Amorosi
The same manuscript (Bodleian MS
264, folio 60r) has an illumination which - with much fantasy and
adaptation - could be seen as medieval draughts. The board size is
wrong, the game pieces look more or less the same as identical dots. All
game pieces, with one exception, are on the same chequered (black)
colour. This image was used as basis for the fake medieval draughts
image at the top of this blogpost.

第64回nhk囲碁(趙善津vs芝野虎丸) 解説 王銘エン
Historical Hnefatafl 7x7 (Irish Brandubh) curious positions : Tamarisco (1397) / mmagari (1841)
Qui il N non può giocare d7-d6 catturando due nemici causa la debolezza della 7 traversa. Seguirebbe K c3-c7 vincendo al colpo.
Il B opera quella che negli Scacchi è chiamata interferenza : Il S b5 toglie alla G b6 il controllo sul punto b1. Facendo sì che Kc1 diventi una minaccia letale.
Mi aspettavo Kc5...

Ard Ri: Historic or Modern?
Si ringrazia il sito http://tafl.cyningstan.com/ per l'autorizzazione alla pubblicazione del presente contributo.
Thursday, 22nd August 2013
The game of ard ri is an intriguing little beast. Twenty-five pieces,
the same as in tablut, are crowded onto the smallest hnefatafl board
just seven squares on a side. The king's defenders enclose him in a
square formation, with the attackers around the edge much as in tablut.
This layout is found in books, and many web articles suggest that pieces
in ard ri move only to adjacent squares. But documentary evidence is
non-existent. Is this just something made up on the Internet?
I wrote about ard ri back in 2005 but never published my work about
it. I mention on this web site that the usual rules don't work on this
board. If the pieces were to move like rooks as in other hnefatafl
versions, a typical game with the attackers starting would be:
- G5-F5; C5-C6;
- A5-C5xC6; C3-B3;
- C1-C3xB3/C4; E5-E6;
- F5-E5xD5/E6; E3-E2;
- G3-E3xD3/E2/E4
and so on. The attackers have formed an easy enclosure, and the
defenders have no remedy, given that at this point all the defender's
available moves are simply rotations and reflections of one another. If
the defender makes the first move, the enclosure is no more difficult
for the attackers - they simply lose the choice of which corner to seal
off first. Although allowing pieces to move only to adjacent cells
appears to be a distinct improvement, some have questioned whether this
is enough to make the game playable.
The standard layout appeared in David Parlett's book The Oxford
History of Board Games, and a number of web pages discuss the game,
usually giving the pieces the adjacent-square move. But I've never
managed to find any older references to the name of the game, nor
anything that proves that this number of pieces were ever crammed on to
the small board. The closest archaeology comes to evidence is that a
number of 7x7 boards have been found in Scotland, as have some sets of
pieces that may originally have numbered around 25 (such as those at
Scar). But larger Scottish boards have been found too, such as the one
at Jarlshof, Shetland.
So that leaves the distinct possibility that ard ri is wholly modern;
the fact that it was played by the Norse or the Scots during the middle
ages appears to be a myth. The fact that it doesn't appear to play
well, as compared to the 13-piece brandub on the same board, brings
about the question: should we bother persevering with it?
