1400 years ago the Emperor of India has sent the game,
chess, with an accompanying letter to the Persian Emperor.
The letter had nothing but the following:

"To his highness, the Emperor,

Whoever thinks more
Whoever knows more
Whoevers sees the future better
Wins
This is life..."

The Persian Emperor shares this message with his minister
Buzur Merih who is considered the wisest of all and asks him
to invent a game to send the Indian Emperor back as a present.
The Minister after studying and understanding the strategy
of 'Chess' and movements of its each piece invents the game
'Backgammon' and presents to the Emperor. Then, they send
the backgammon set to the Indian Emperor
with a note that reads:

" To his highness Emperor of India,

Yes, whoever thinks more
Whoever knows more
Whoevers sees the future better
Wins
But there has to be a little luck, too
This is the real life..."
