Knights and Bohatyrs. |
|
|
||
| Centuries. In the Western Europe there was Knight's age. Knight's tournaments took places at Royaland castles of noble feudals |
|
||
| . | At the same time in the Eastern Europe Princes created regular armed troops-called "Druzhina". People called their defenders"Bohatyrs". There was no case in the history when the bohatyrs took part in the Western European tournaments. |
||
| But the tournaments may take place on the chess-board. The head of the knight's army is the king. The bohatyr's army is "waged" by the prince. All the deeds are being com- mitted in the name of the Queen and the princess. |
|||
| This chess-composition was born on the day of our city that is the vitual center of Europe. All the pieces are placed on a magnificient board, decorated with carved leaves and pictures of the dangerous, severe but roman- tic medieval time. The author's variations on the topic are available. |
