Review of chess forum::is there going to be a chucky vs leprechaun








               Most               Americans               know               very               little               about               Ancient               Indian               inventions.

In               recent               years,               many               strides               have               been               made               in               high               school               and               college               in               teaching               more               about               traditionally               neglected               parts               of               the               world.
               Perhaps               due               to               its               proximity               to               its               northern               neighbor,               China,               many               Americans               have               only               a               slight               understanding               of               Indian               history               and               achievements.

China               is               well               known               as               a               culture               of               inventions               (i.e.

paper               and               the               printing               press).

However,               centuries               of               European               explorers               sought               to               exploit               the               riches               of               India               and               her               people.
               The               following               contains               some               of               the               most               impressive               ancient               Indian               inventions               and               developments               that               are               not               only               great               within               their               own               rights,               but               whose               impact               can               be               seen               and               felt               even               today.
               Cotton               Gin
               The               cotton               gin               is               commonly               known               as               one               of               the               causes               of               the               American               Civil               War.

However,               the               cotton               gin               was               not               an               American               but               an               Indian               invention.

Historians               have               found               a               cotton               gin               dating               back               to               500               A.D.

According               to               theindianhistory.org,               the               development               of               this               "charkha"               went               through               many               stages.

First               it               was               powered               by               hand,               then               eventually               by               water               and               steam.

The               cotton               gin               developed               by               Eli               Whitney               was               simply               a               difference               in               degree               rather               than               kind               as               he               added               steel               teeth               to               the               machine.
               Stirrups
               There               exist               numerous               inventions               whose               impact               is               hard               to               imagine               due               to               their               sheer               ubiquity               in               the               world.

Due               to               its               utilitarian               nature,               the               stirrup,               another               ancient               Indian               invention,               should               not               overlooked.

Contrary               to               popular               misconception,               the               stirrup               was               not               invented               in               China               but               in               India.

Although               the               exact               date               is               impossible               to               know,               the               single-towed               stirrup               (in               which               the               rider's               big               toe               is               secured)               developed               in               India               hundreds               of               years               before               the               more               recognizable               Chinese               full-footed               version.
               Today               the               stirrup               is               found               throughout               the               world               in               different               shapes               and               sizes.

The               uniting               feature               has               to               do               with               the               increased               stability               given               to               one               atop               a               horse.

The               advantage               in               battle               is               easy               to               conceive               as               a               more               stable               rider               has               an               extended               range               of               motion               and               ability.

Today               it               riding               a               horse               on               a               trail               or               watching               the               Kentucky               Derby               without               the               stirrups               would               be               a               far               different               experience.
               Chess               
               Perhaps               the               most               intriguing               game               humankind               has               developed               is               the               game               of               Chess.

Although               it               has               gone               through               many               changes               over               the               past               fifteen               hundred               years,               according               to               http://www.whoinventedit.net/who-invented-chess.html               chess               was               originally               developed               in               India.

The               game               underwent               a               series               of               changes               as               it               traveled               to               Persia               (modern-day               Iran)               and               thence               to               Europe               in               the               Thirteenth               Century.

As               of               2010,               according               to               the               United               States               Chess               Federation,               there               are               over               eighty               thousand               members.

In               addition,               players               compete               in               over               twenty               championships               each               year.

In               fact               one               of               the               most               noteworthy               events               in               the               history               of               chess               occurred               in               1997               when               IBM's               Deep               Blue               defeated               world               champion               Gary               Kasparov               indicating               that               artificial               intelligence               was               a               force               gaining               in               strength.
               Playing               Cards
               Playing               cards               have               been               a               staple               of               American               culture               since               the               founding               and               settlement               of               the               continent.

No               images               conjure               up               Americana               more               than               a               gambling               boat               steaming               down               the               mighty               Mississippi               River               or               a               group               of               cowboys               sitting               in               a               Western               saloon               cards               in               hand.

Playing               cards,               more               specifically               the               game               of               Blackjack,               are               played               in               Casinos               in               nearly               every               state.

When               not               attempting               to               beat               the               odds,               one               may               consider               that               the               origin               of               playing               cards               dates               back               to               India.

According               to               defenceforumindia.com,               the               playing               cards               spread               to               China               and               onwards               to               Europe               via               the               Silk               Road,               Europe               passed               the               game               on               to               her               inhabitants               who               brought               it               with               them               to               America.
               Hinduism               and               Buddhism
               According               to               adherents.com,               there               are               approximately               900               million               Hindus               and               376               million               practitioners               of               Buddhism               in               the               world.

Both               of               these               religious               traditions               began               in               India.

As               with               so               many               other               Indian               inventions,               Buddhism               spread               to               China               and               onward               to               the               rest               of               Asia               while               Hinduism               remained               more               firmly               entrenched               in               India.

For               years               Westerners               have               been               seeking               guidance               and               wisdom               from               these               Eastern               traditions.
