There is some evidence that it was imported from India in the second half of the first century A.D. It was reported that in A.D. 839 the Prime Minister of the Tang dynasty (618-907) added two extra pieces called 'cannon' to the game. By the end of the 11th century, the game had evolved into the form that exists today." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
