THE HISTORY OF CHECKERS
The board's the same. And Checkers is a game of offense and defense -- a game of war, but it is not referred to as "The Royal Game." The game of checkers appears in the ancient Greek writings of Homer and Plato (c. 400-300 B.C.) And even earlier in the time of the pharaohs of Egypt (c.1600 B.C.) where it probably originated.
