The Irish Invented Chess!

By Brian Nugent and Brian Nugent B.a

For over three centuries a controversy has raged as to the exact origins of 'fidchell' - in modern Irish 'ficheall' - or Irish chess, a game played in Ireland from biblical times. This book argues that that game of fidchell, or brannaimh, was recognisably our modern chess. It also raises disturbing questions about the real history surrounding the Lewis Chess find.
