Knights and Bohatyrs. |
|
|
||
| 12 th — 14 th Centuries. In the Western Europe there was Knight's age. Knight's tournaments took places at Royaland castles of noble feudals |
|
||
| At the same time in the Eastern Europe Princes created regular armed troops-called " Druzhina". People called their defenders "Bohatyrs". There was no case in the history when the bohatyrs took part in the Western European tournaments. |
|||
| But the tournaments may take place on the chess-board. The head of the knight's army is the king. The bohatyr's army is "waged" by the prince. All the deeds are being com- mitted in the name of the Queen and the princess. |
|||
| This chess-composition was born on the day of our city that is the vitual center of Europe. All the pieces are placed on a magnificient board, decorated with carved leaves and pictures of the dangerous, severe but roman- tic medieval time. |
|||
| After the wooden board that was produced with no
use of any up-to-date technologies. Namely this kind of chess-field is in harmony with the carved edges of the board and the chess- pieces. We aim to create the final impression of old restaurated work. Sometimes our visitors, especially children, ask: 'Is it an antique chess-set?" The author's variations on the topic are available. |
