| Summary |
This medieval painting depicts a gossiping crowd watching a man and a woman play courier chess, a variant of chess popular in the 15th century. The female player appears to be winning. Because of its faster, more exciting style of play, courier chess was combined with medieval European chess to produce the modern version of the game. |
