He denied doing so and, to prove his innocence, recreated the battle using ivory pieces that represented the four combat units of the army: the infantry, the cavalry, the elephants and the chariots.

Sudoku, the game that consists of filling in boxes with numbers from 1 to 9 in a similar way to crosswords, appeared in the 18th century, created by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. In 1970 it was published by the publisher Math Puzzles and Logic Problems. The game soon fell into oblivion until it was "revived" by the Japanese in 1984 under its current name. It has been so widespread that several world championships of this number logic game have already been held. University students and professionals from different disciplines, such as chemistry or economics, have been world sudoku champions, in competitions that have been held in Europe, specifically in the city of Prague.

Sudoku is a grid game invented in 1979 and inspired by the Latin square and the problem of Leonhard Euler's 36 officers. The aim of the game is to fill this grid with the numbers from 1 to 9 respecting certain conditions, with some numbers being arranged in the grid from the beginning.&nbsp;The game grid is a square of nine by nine squares, subdivided into as many identical squares, called regions. The rule of the game is simple: each row, column or region must only contain the numbers from one to nine once. Put differently, each set must contain the numbers one to nine once.

When you are first exposed to Checkers, you will notice that there are a lot of possible moves (including openings). It might take some time to learn and remember many of these moves, but with time, memory recall develops. This skill can prove helpful in many areas of your life. Checkers is, usually, not a quick and easy game. Players need to have focus and pay attention, which, in time, develops concentration skills. If you want to win, you need to learn to concentrate and focus. No one has beaten the checker champion in a match for 30 years. Even computer programmers don`t take him on, despite a $5,000 challenge from a checker organization.

9x9 Classic sudoku consists of 9 rows, 9 columns and 9 regions. In the question, 81 numbers are given, some of them are settled. And the other numbers from 1 to 9 should be placed in such a way that each line of the sudoku should contain all the numbers from 1 to 9, and the numbers from 1 to 9 should appear only once. The same rule should be applied for&nbsp;columns and zones.

Sudoku consists of a grid divided into nine rows and columns; which, in turn, are subdivided into three regions. Thus, we have a grid that is made up of 9 sections that are distinguished by having an outline of thicker lines and that each have 9 boxes. In total there are 81 squares, spread over 9 regions. Each row, column and region is called a group and it is essential to understand this concept to be able to play correctly. Cells that share a group, that is, they belong to the same row, column or region, are called friendly cells.

Sudoku&nbsp;is based on an early mathematical analysis concept designed in 1782.&nbsp;This work was done by a Swiss Mathematician Leaonhard Euler.&nbsp;However, another mathematician Howard Garns modified the concept and created the numbers game called “Number Place” in 1979 that the game became quite popular. In Japan, the Number Place game become wildly popular through the promotional efforts of a Japanese games publisher called “Nikoli,” but at this point, it was still fairly unknown to the rest of the world, that is why we know it as Sudoku.

The modern sudoku as we recognise it today was invented by Howard Garns, an independent puzzle inventor from Connersville, Indiana, Usa in 1979.

Fun Fact: Scientific studies have shown that solving puzzles like Sudoku reduces the amount of brain-damaging proteins that can lead to memory loss or mental confusion.

Sudoku is played on a grid of 9 x 9 spaces. Within the rows and columns are 9 “squares” (made up of 3 x 3 spaces). Each row, column and square (9 spaces each) needs to be filled out with the numbers 1-9, without repeating any numbers within the row, column or square.

The basis of the game originated in Switzerland in the 18th century when the mathematician Leonhard Euler developed the concept of Latin Squares used in statistical analysis. The modern Sudoku as we know it nowadays, however, using digits instead of the Latin alphabet, was most likely the creation of Howard Garns, an architect from Indiana who first published his version of the game in the Dell Magazines in 1979.

Its widespread popularity didn’t come until the game reached Japan in 1984 when Nikoli published it under the name “Suuji wa dokushin ni kaguru” (The numbers must remain single) in the Monthly Nikolist Magazine. Nikoli also introduced two new rules that became essential to the game as we know it today. The first was the concept of symmetry. The given numbers in the beginning must create a pattern in their allocated squares to make the game more visually appealing to the players. The second and most import rule is that no more than 32 numbers out of the 81 can be given away, as the goal becomes too easy to reach above this threshold. As the game’s popularity increased in Japan, its designation was eventually shortened to include only the characters for number (数 - Su) and single (独 - Doku), resulting in the name by which we now know it, Sudoku.

Whether or not the legend that Fedrousí narrates is true, it is known that chess has its origin in the game he describes: the chaturanga, whose name means "four divisions" in reference to the four pieces that symbolize the units of the Indian army. These are the oldest of the game and correspond to the current pawns (for infantry), horses (cavalry), bishops (elephants) and rooks (chariots) of the modern version of the game.

Keep moving:&nbsp;Sudoku rewards the “roving eye” – if you feel stuck, don’t concentrate too hard on one part of the puzzle grid. Instead, let your eye and your mind wander to a different place on the grid where you haven’t placed any numbers yet, and see which new possibilities become apparent to you. Constantly re-evaluate:&nbsp;Every time you place a new number on the Sudoku grid, you should ask yourself, “What changed? What do I know now, as a result of having placed that number? For example, if you successfully place a number 5 in a horizontal row, how does that 5 affect what’s going on in the neighboring squares? Every single time you place a number, it gives you an opportunity to potentially place more numbers in nearby rows and squares (depending on which other numbers in those places are already known). This is one of the most satisfying aspects of playing Sudoku – every step in solving the puzzle leads you closer to the conclusion. Sudoku is a fun and intellectually stimulating game because it exercises the part of the brain that craves logic, order and a natural progression toward a satisfying conclusion. Even if you’re a Sudoku beginner, we’re sure that you’ll find a lot to love about this game. Happy number hunting!

Scrabble&nbsp;is a word game&nbsp;in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board&nbsp;divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in a crossword&nbsp;fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns, and be included in a standard vocabulary. The game is played by two to four players on a square game board imprinted with a 15×15 grid of cells (individually known as "squares"), each of which accommodates a single letter tile. In official club and tournament games, play is between two players or, occasionally, between two teams, each of which collaborates on a single rack. The board is marked with "premium" squares, which multiply the number of points awarded: eight dark red "triple-word" squares, 17 pale red "double-word" squares, of which one, the center square (H8), is marked with a star or other symbol, 12 dark blue "triple-letter" squares, and 24 pale blue "double-letter" squares. In 2008, Hasbro changed the colors of the premium squares to orange for TW, red for DW, blue for DL, and green for TL, but the original premium square color scheme is still preferred for&nbsp;Scrabble&nbsp;boards used in tournaments

Scrabble is a round-based word game played with two, three or four players, by placing meaningful words created by randomly drawn 7 letters on a 15 by 15 specially designed game board. A letter of the first word written at the beginning of each game must be placed in the cell in the middle of the table. 

The game of the Scrabble consists of distributing 7 tiles with the letters of the alphabet, randomly extracted from the bag supplied, to each player (2 to 4 people can play);&nbsp;place the 7 tiles received each on their own plastic lectern and with those tiles form a word to be inserted on the board.&nbsp;

Words after the first word must be combined with at least one of the previous words, as in crosswords. The word formed by this merger should also be meaningful. Words can be written from right to left and top to bottom. The standard dictionary is generally used in the game. Words can be sourced from an official dictionary (Scrabble Game Special Dictionary), or one or more dictionaries that players will agree on. A Scrabble controller can be used to allow words.

When you first start to play a Sudoku puzzle, look for where you have the easiest opportunities to add a number. Usually this is where there is a crowded square or a row that is almost full of numbers. Sometimes, especially on the Easy-rated Sudoku puzzles, you can quickly use process of elimination to figure out where to place a number. For example, if there is a square that already has numbers 1-7, you know that you only need to figure out where to put numbers 8 and 9. Look at the rows that feed into that row or square – sometimes you will be able to eliminate one number or the other, and can quickly fill in the gaps.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF CHECKERS?? &nbsp;It was played in ancient Egypt as far back as 1,400 B.C.E. Alquerque remained very popular throughout the western world for thousands of years. Today's game of&nbsp;checkers&nbsp;developed around the start of the 12th century. A Frenchman came up with the idea of playing&nbsp;checkers&nbsp;on a chess board.

Chess is a game played between two people. The gameboard consists of black and white squares, 32 each. Each player has 16 pieces. The pieces are king, queen, rook, knight, pawn and bishop If one loses its king that means the other player wins The game aims to protecting&nbsp;your king and trying to capture your opponent's. The aim of the game is to checkmate your opponent. All pieces move differently. Chess is a popular game that can improve our logical skills Doruk S.T.A.A.

Mancala is played between 2 people. Materials needed: stones, beans, seeds, rows of holes, pits, a board or other playing surface. The board can be made from different materials. The objective is to capture more stones than the opponent. Mangala is played on a 2x6&nbsp;mancala board with 2 rows of 6 or 7 pits. At game setup, 5 pieces are placed in each pit. At their turn, the player takes all the pieces from one of their pits and drops them one at a time into the following pits counterclockwise. If the last piece in a distribution is dropped in a pit that contains 1 or 3 pieces (2 or 4 with the one just dropped), all those pieces are captured by the player. Also, if there is a continuous line of pits with either 2 or 4 pieces before the one where the capture has occurred, all the seeds in those pits are also captured.&nbsp;

The game can be traced back to Ottoman miniatures from the XVIth century. According to the Turkish ethnologist Metin and, the "mancala" from The Arabian Nights (fifteenth night) could be directly related to this game. It was first described in 1694 by the British orientalist Thomas Hyde. The game was also referred to as Mangola in some later Western works.

There are 4 main Basic Rules in the game: 1. Basic rule: the player who wins the right to start as a result of the draw receives 4 stones from the well he wants located in his area. He leaves one stone in the well where he takes it, and leaves one stone in each well counterclockwise, that is, to the right, until the stones in his hand are finished. If the last stone in his hand coincides with his treasure, the player is entitled to play again. &nbsp;If a player has a single stone in his well, he can move it to the well to his right when it is his turn. It's his opponent's turn to move. Each time, the last stone left in the player's hand determines the fate of the game.

2. Basic rule: if the player who is in turn to move has left a stone in his hand while distributing the stones he received from his own well, he also continues to leave stones in the wells in his opponent's area. If the last stone in the player's hand is an even number (for example, 2, 4, 6, 8), the player owns all the stones in that well and puts them in his treasure. It's his opponent's turn to move. 3. Basic rule: if the last stone left in his hand when the player distributes stones again coincides with an empty well located in his area, and if the well opposite his empty well also has a stone belonging to his opponent, he takes the stones in his opponent's well, and takes the stone left in his empty well and puts it in his treasure. It's his opponent's turn to move. 4. Basic rule: the game set ends when the stones in any of the players ' territory are finished. In the game, the player who finishes first in his area also wins all the stones found in his opponent's area. So the dynamic of the game never drops until the last moment.

There are numbers from 1 to 9 in the sudoku. Inside a square must be all numbers from 1 to 9.

Fun Fact: the term Sudoku is certainly of Japanese origin, but the game is an American invention. Sudoku got to the forefront by Howard Garns in 1979, but it was named as Sudoku by Nikoli in Japan around five years later. Fun Fact: Sudoku free puzzles have one and only one unique solution. Sudoku aren't unsolvable- they're just tricky and might have exhausted your solving techniques. Also, one that offers multiple solutions isn't probably a Sudoku but looks like one. &nbsp; International Sudoku Day takes place, of course, on September 9.

The aim of the game, played by two, three or four people on a table consisting of 15 to 15 equal squares, is to produce meaningful words by arranging a letter on each square and to create other meaningful words that end with at least one letter. First, each player chooses a letter from the bag in order to determine who will start the game first. The player who pulls the letter closest to the beginning or the empty stone in alphabetical order has the right to start the game first. 

The player who pulls the letter closest to the beginning or the empty stone in alphabetical order has the right to start the game first. Then, each player chooses 7 letters from the bag and stacks these letters on the tray. Starting with the first player, everyone produces a word in turn and puts it on the chart. Each letter in the game has a point value and while the frequently used letters (eg: a, e) have a low value, rarely the words (eg ç, ş) are quite high.
