Murry's book is an excellent source of games though historically speaking
it now appears out of date. At this moment the evidence supporting
Shatranj & even Chinese chess as being older than Chatarunga is
overwhelming. Even on this page the words 'what could be chess pieces'
'doubted by some' are used.

All thats missing on this brilliant site is an history section. I'm sure
your presentation would be much more interesting than some sites, where
opinions are expressed rather than facts.
