This is a misinterpretion. Never existed a game called ashtapada : Ashtapada is a board, nothing else. If you like to read the corresponding text of Bana I would like to send it to you. Chess was invented long before by the Kushans as you can read on my website. Best regards Gerhard Josten Dear Sirs,
