Because the game had to abide by Hindu law. The laws were changed to forbid gambling so dice could not be used. The clever clogs decided to change them to two armies.

60: A special kid from India Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati of 10.5 years suffering from fatal disease has invented Circular Chess for 60 players in which 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60 players or teams can play chess in multiple format. Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati took his country to top position by his inventions of Chess variants and made his country proud as Chess was invented in his own country.A rare chess prodigy and a child prodigy with a unique difference from Jaipur has brought tempest in the world of circular chess and chess variants with his trembling fingers working, which are determined to take the glorious past of his country in the field of chess further. Chess was invented in India and a kid of 10.5 years Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati, who is suffering from fatal disease has invented 3 types of Circular chess boards, which had led to 100 chess variants inventions. He has left Sheldon Cooper far behind. (Sheldon Cooper: The man who invented 3 players' chess and became global celebrity for same). Moreover with addition of 100 more circular chess variants, India must have emerged as undoubted number 1 in the field of circular chess variants. Further not only in the field of circular chess variants, with these inventions by the special kid, India must be among top rankers as far as chess variants are considered, even leaving the country Japan far behind. (Japan is known to be leader in the field of chess variants inventions). These facts can be verified on internet by going for intensive, deep study of circular chess variants, chess variants, and chess on Google search as there is no global authority to collect the information for chess variants.Imagine the level of his inventive instinct that he became the youngest patent holder in India and youngest disabled patent holder of world by inventing circular chess for 2,3,4,6 players at the age of 9 years and getting it patent in India. The beauty of these innovative circular chess variants is that its rules are based on existing chess and having more application and utility as he firmly believes that, "Any invention of chess variant must follow the traditional chess due to 2 reasons. Firstly Chess was invented in our country and secondly the invented chess variants must be friendly to existing chess lovers".He has invented 3 Circular chess boards, namely 6, 12 and 60 players, which had led to invention of 100 possible circular chess variants. One and half year back he invented 6 players circular chess in which 2, 3, 4, 6 players or teams can play chess in multiple format and he had already got patent for same. His latest invention is of 12 players and 60 players' circular chess boards and his patent for both of these is under process at Controller General of Patents (Government of India). Circular Chess for 12 players in which 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 players or teams can play chess in multiple format. Circular Chess for 60 players in which 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60 players or teams can play chess in multiple format. Imagine the level of his inventive instinct that with these inventions of circular chess variants any number of teams or players up to 60 can play chess that too with the existing rules of chess intact to a large extent.Before his inventions of circular chess the maximum limit of players to play chess was 3 in circular chess and 8 in any type of chess variants. But now that maximum limit is 60 for chess variants. He believes that 60 player's circular chess can become a great game for chess lovers in Clubs as it will involve a large size, hence it will require a large space. The minimum size of 60 players' circular chess will be of radius 10 feet. Yes circular chess of 12 players can be used indoors as well as for clubs as the minimum radius required for same will be 2 feet. The beauty of these innovative circular chess variants is that its rules are based on existing chess and having more application and utility as more number of players can play in individual or team with multiple formats.According to him the journey of his inventions was a very tiring and he took 6 months for 6 players circular chess and another 1.5 years to invent 12 players and 60 players circular chess and nearly 1500 experiments and combination went waste before reaching to the invented circular chess variants. But to explain this journey in a simple line is that every straight line was replaced by an arc.

Is chess a sport and if so how is it one?

I would say no. According to The Free Dictionary, the definition of sport is: "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." Chess is governed by a set of rules. Chess is competitive. But there is no physical activity involved in playing chess. Therefore, chess is not a sport. Same with darts and poker. There is no physical activity with these games, therefore, they are not sports. However, the IOC who governs the Olympics considers chess to be a sport.
