The great Tang Dynasty saw 300 years of prosperity and culture under a succession of enlightened emperors. With a capital city at modern day Xi'an, China consolidated it's arts and treasures during the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries.
Although the origins of chess are not definitely known, one prevailing theory is that modern day chess evolved from the Chinese game "Xiangqi", which is thought to have been created by the general Han Xin as a training exercise for his troops.
Durable polystone pieces, made from a mixture of polyurethane resin and powdered stone, have a satisfying weight and texture that will appeal to casual players and collectors alike.
