DEUS VULT
Looks like we gotta bring out the good ol' stakes again
Reminder that the Templars were suppressed for paganism and devil worship.

Chess is arguably the most important game in the world, and I love playing it with friends from time to time, but I'd love to learn more about it's history.
What are the most reliable sources for learning the history of chess? It's origins, how it evolved overtime, most notable players, obviously everyone knows about people like Bobby Fisher and Magnus Carlson, the more recent chess champions, but I'm hoping to go farther back and learn about some older chess lessons.
Roughly where and when was it developed? Was being able to castle your king always a thing? When did pawn promotion become a thing? There are a lot of questions I have.
>>2473507
I looked into this a while back but couldnt find many definitive answers.
I was looking to try and find historical reasons why the pieces move like they do, and how they ended up in their respective positions.
Keeping an eye on this thread but unfortunately cant contribute too much other than that its a game that originated in the middle east.
I always had a feeling that the original goal of the game was just to capture the opposing king rather than checkmating it. Then as people got smarter and better at the game and realized you have to immediately move your king out of the way of enemy pieces, the goal sot of evolved into putting the opposing king into an inescapable situation, ie checkmate.
Of course I haven't found anything to confirm this, just a thought.
Not much is known. It originated in India and moved east and west. West (in the Arab world) it became Shatranj (basically the original Chatruanga) and from there Courier Chess to our modern version with the mad queen, ungimped bishop, castling, etc. Rooks, knights, and kings have always had the same moves.
And to the East it became Shogi and Xiang Qi.
But there isn't a whole lot known about the origins or anything. Whatever ya find with a simple Google search is pretty much all we know. And a lot is guesswork and speculation.
There's the chessvariants site where you can play a bunch of them. Honorable mention to Byzantine chess which is basically Shatranj on a round board.
As for castling: no. It wasn't always a thing. That's actually pretty new and I think happened at around the same time we started letting pawns make an initial two step move.
Pawn promotion was always a thing, but always handled differently. For some it was any piece the enemy took, for some it could become any piece regardless of what your enemy captured, games differed on what rank it could promote, and some like Xiang Qi have no pawn promotion at all and your pawn basically slides around uselessly if he hits the last rank.

>Be Western European race scientist in the 19th and 20th centuries
>Fap over Mysticism and ancient Aryanism, proclaim yourself and your people pure Aryans whilst considering Eastern Europeans sub-human
>Genetic science comes along
>Turns out you're a filthy Iberian and Eastern Europeans are the true descendants of ancient Aryans
Really makes you think.
>I2a: South Slavic, Sardinian
What.
>what are haplo subclades
Slavs don't belong to the same subclade as the Indo-Aryans, you dumb nigger. It says right in your pic that are several groups inside R1a.

What the fuck is their problem?
> Destroy Rome, plunging Europe into darkness
> Destroy the unity of the Christian Faith, plunging Europe into civil war
> Start a world war over some dead slav, killing millions
> Export the most destructive ideology in history (Marxism) in an attempt to win this war, which will go on to kill over a hundred million in Russia/China
> Get justifiably punished for their their insolence in the First World War
> Elect a facist dictator
> Start another World War, killing millions once again
> Attempt to genocide an entire race of people
> Attempting to create a United States of Europe, then inviting the entire Arab/African world to live in Europe
Seriously what the fuck do they want? Do G*rmans want the total destruction of Europe?

I guess you missed the part when they knew the Tunisian terrorist that did that truck killing in Berlin, but didn't deported him (despite knowing who he is) due to him not having any papers.
Is it true that the only "authentic" and "indigenous" culture that America has is black American culture?
Every few years or so it seems that whites take whatever blacks are doing at the moment and start copying them, then it becomes uncool to do, so the black stop doing that and start doing something else, and then in a little while the whites turn around and take that new thing and the cycle starts all over again.
But the blues is played with European instruments, thus making it a purely Nordic/Aryan genre of music.

It always astounds me how Westerners argue Christianity is intrinsically European. Unlike Greek philosophy, Roman paganism, and Zoroastrianism, this tradition has brought no interesting innovations to metaphysical thought. If anything, it has introduced a thread of philistinism in preventing people from studying its genealogy of influences, or denying their import.
You have stupid sluts like St. Avela fingering themselves in ecstasy for Christ, yet you have more intelligent pre-Christian Stoics like Seneca instructing on how to deal with mortality. You Europeans pathetically chose to circle-jerk for Christ rather than your own ethnic traditions, or ones that actually make damn sense. I spit to your Incarnation crap, for Jesus was the f-word incarnated in flesh. If I were king of Persia, mark my words, all Muslims and Christians would be dead if they refuse to convert. Jews are fine since they kept to their own, and they never asked for their dicks to be sucked.
How can anyone believe there was something special about Jesus? The Jews were nomads then, and they weren't as intellectual as the present Ashkenazi. If it weren't for Cyrus the Great's benevolence freeing Jews from Babylonian captivity, then Christianity and Islam wouldn't have emerged, and dare I say, perhaps the world would be more stable? I won't speculate in that direction much, but the point I am making is it was insignificant then and is now the most influential of all ideologies.
Honestly, I would have gladly assisted the Romans in stabbing the crucified Jesus. He didn't preach of anything unique like Zarathustra.
I mean, consider Heraclius, the asshole, who burned Zoroastrian fire temples whilst ignoring its formative effect on his own shitty religion, and he was the Christian equivalent of Muhammad.
Here's a pic of Khosrow II being beheaded by the Christ cuck Heraclius.
Hell, I would argue being Christians nullifies you being European just like Persian Muslims are not Persian anymore.
Your philosophy is wrong and your shits all retarded.
>>2472484
Whatever, Christ retard. You ceased being European once you picked up that Semitic filth. Go grovel in the shit that is Christ.
I would have gladly massacred you Christians with your own pagan brethren. Fuck all Abrahamic filth.

/his/, redpill me on Joan of Arc.
Know nothing about her except
>was from France
>was a soldier, I think
>got burned at the steak
Was she based, or overrated cause she has a vagina.
>>2471718
bump
>>2471718
She was Orthodox
She was a Prophet
She was a Saint
>>2471718
She was actually a competent military commander.
Boudicca, on the other hand, is completely overrated and her only achievement was getting butthurt and getting her people massacred while not achieving anything.
Did Samurai and Dynamo actually follow chivalrous codes like medieval knights? Or was it just more Bushido bullshit where the Japanese try to make their history look more western.
>>2470109
More like Bushido was just formalized during the time of peace when the Samurai did nothing but become administrators.
But there was a warrior code that disdained cowardice and killing yourself rather than surrendering is basically common in East Asian martial ideals. You see the same shit in China and Korea.
>like knights
Neither did.
Wasn't bushido bullshit invention in the 1800s to put nips on the same level as European knights? That and to control their new imperial army soldiers to be suicidal fanatics.
What was the best army of all time and Why was it the caroleans?
>>2469304
They were based.
>To interrupt a moment of prayer would as well lead to death penalty. The Carolean soldier was told not to fear, since if God meant him to die, he would die no matter if he dodged the bullets or not. The Carolean offensive tactics needed firm discipline.
>Within the military, priests often participated in battles to raise morale amongst troops.
>Directly after the volley the Swedes charged the enemy ranks with pikes, bayonets and rapiers. Note that the pikes were used as an offensive weapon: in close combat they had the advantage over their foes' weapons thanks to their range, it often happened that complete ranks of enemies ran before physical contact, frightened by the long pikes and the fact that the morale of the battalion could calmly withstand their fire.
Imagine being a ruski fighting with your ruski friends. You see the Swedes marching towards you, and you fire a volley. They seem unaffected. For some reason, they're not firing back, just calmly walking towards you. You keep firing, but the Swedes don't flinch.
As they get closer you spot something strange in their ranks. Are those... priests? Battle priests? Are they singing battle psalms? Oh God...
All of a sudden they stop. You can see the white in their eyes. They raise their weapons and fire. It's like thunder. You get ready for another volley, but instead through the smoke you see them charging at you with pikes drawn. A wall of death rushing towards you. You've never seen such elan before.
You run.
>>2469337
Caroleans would also fight silently, without the usual shouting and screaming you'd find in less disciplined armies.

They had cities 15 000- 40 000 strong, they were incredibly developed for their time and the fucking climate fucked them all up and annihilated them.
They also had proto writing 1000 years before the Sumerians.
Fucking hell.
FYI, one of their cities, Talianki, was multiple times larger than any other city on Earth at the time.
AYO
We were hyperboreans and junk?
Why did the Bronze Age collapse happen?

We don't know but this mass civilization collapse events are very intriguing so I will bump your thread.
What's the "Bronze Age collapse"?
The "sea peoples" were Phoenicians from Canaan.
As for a collapse or reset of civilization, that happened when God sent the global flood.
