A strange little side quest
Before the next round of Defense of the kingdom, here is a piece of the bigger picture. Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. And the history keeps stacking up: Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. So a round of Defense of the kingdom is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
