I absolutely love this!!! May god bless the narrator and everyone that made this!! Thank you!
You just inspired me to make a chessboard from scratch. The game must be played.
Outstanding.
Please, don't stop!
Great channel!
What the weavers weave no mortal man can tell.
I swear, those are totally the pieces featured in the opening of Age Of Empires 2
except the tower is a berserker and not an actual tower.
It is indeed the same set (or at least inspired by it). They most likely replaced the berserker rook with a tower to make it more recognizable to a modern audience.
Big fan
Sir, Hats off for your amazing work! Only if you can upload the lyrics cause I'm no native english speaker and I've had problems keeping up with the video.. Thanks!

Does anyone know the author's name of this epic poem?
This narrative was composed by staff of Museum nan Eilean in Stornoway (where six of the British Museum chess pieces are currently on display); it is based on traditional Norse sagas and folklore.
It sort of passes muster
