This game was known in northern Europe long before the arrival of chess. The first mention was in the III century BC. With the proliferation of chess in this game has been forgotten.
The traditional rules of the game are built in such a way that both sides have an equal chance of winning. Attacking more, but it complicates their movements on the field. The defenders are losing numbers - but their task is not to destroy the enemy, and in the rescue of King. Only a keen mind and a faithful exact logic of a tactical calculation , and not the choice of the parties , will bring one of the winning players!
