Chess boards In the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody mess. exclaimed the king.

Rognvald rode off in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the skull open. These stories are sagas from Willard in Iceland and in Icelandic published in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in vik with Boris the world champion. Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line, championship prize is chicken feed.

Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga. A king put up his horse, falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged in a game, winner take all. The king lost. He left the game on foot, unarmed and unloved.
