King Shehran and Sessa ebn Daher

As the tail says there was a king in India, called Shehran, dominating on everything, but his tedium. He was bored in the morning, noon and at night, all every day, until he fell ill because of it.

Sessa ebn Daher, his court wise man, to heal the king, invented a new game, called it chess. The game was brilliant, the king has recovered from the illnes after the first game.

- What do you want as a reward? - asked Shehran.

- A few grains of wheat only: put one grain on the first square of the chessboard, then double it on the next squares - said Sessa ebn Daher.

- Humble request! - smiled the king, but finally couldn't perform it.

Plain Text Messages

To provide the widest compatibility with email clients the server uses this format by default to communicate with the players.
If their email clients are able to display graphic and html messages, they usually turn on the html message format, which is really friendlier than the plain text format.
Of course, it often happens, that the two players of the same game uses different message formats, and the same game displays differently for them.
