A brief history of chess Alex Gendler

Trace the storied history of the game of chess, from its origins in 7th century India to the computer software we use today. The attacking infantry advances, their elephants already having broken the defensive line. The king tries to retreat, but the enemy flanks him from the rear. Escape is impossible. This isnt a real war nor is it just a game. Over the 1, 500 years of its existence, chess has been known as a military strategy tool, a metaphor for human affairs and a measure of genius. Alex Gendler shares its history. Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by Remus Kiki.
