I'm stupid. I registered when I saw your post yesterday, and today I forgot to connect. Friday 6PM, end of a hard working week, I started to relax and I forgot :=( They sent two mails to ring up, but they went to my spam box. Aaaargh.

Only satisfaction, I had sent the information to some friends, and one friend was able to listen. He told me that I have not missed much.

I was shoveling snow this morning. Got something to eat an hour before start, and fell asleep on the couch from about 12:30 until a little after 14:00, neatly missing it myself. Maybe the 3 hours of sleep last night can take the blame. :)

Thanks for posting. Maybe it'll show up on youtube or some obscure website. But it was about western chess only. Looking at the Silk routes and the various forms of chess found along them gives bits and pieces of a few stories. The eastern chesses are fascinating in their similarities and differences. And the biggest mystery is the disjunction between western chesses and eastern chesses. The eastern chesses are obviously a family, and western chess is just as obviously a closely related but different family. I just want to know when, where, and how the original idea split into 2 related families. And how, of course, Japanese chess arose.

Good grief! I walked right into that, didn't I! Thanks for the information. The short video was informative.
