Cool.  I'm still looking but figuring out the correct Google word 
arrangement is sometimes challenging.  You never know what you find until 
you start looking for it.  I'll go through the stuff about chess when I get 
home and see if they say anything because I wasn't looking for that info 
when I was researching. .  I have a bunch of illustrations and drawings of 
chess pieces and when the rules changed on movement.  Also the evolution of 
the Queen as a chess piece.
