What is the Origin of Chess?
March 6,2011
When the inventor of the game of chess showed his creation to the King of the country, the ruler was so pleased that he gave the inventor the right to name his prize for the invention. Being very wise, the man asked the king this:
that for the first square of the chess board, he would receive one grain of rice, two for the second one, four on the third one, and so forth, doubling the amount each time.
Maths was not the King's strong point so he quickly accepted the offer and even got offended at what he perceived to be such a such a low price.
None the less, the King ordered the treasurer to count and hand over the rice to the inventor. A week passed and the treasurer still had not come up with the result which got the King furious. He summoned the treasurer and demanded the result of the calculation.
The treasurer had been trying to avoid the King because of the result that he had calculated. He explained that it would be impossible to give the inventor the reward.This got the King furious but his anger subsided when the treasure passed him the piece of paper that showed his calculations.
What did the piece of paper say?

More rice than exists in the world so the King now saw his problem
Now people are probably wondering what on earth the history of chess has to do with Internet Marketing. The answer is easy because the chess board reflects how a great many IM schemes work. They require recruitment and recruitment and recruitment to keep the matrix going.
Then they hit a problem because there is nobody else that they can recruit so they collapse with the most recent recruits losing all that they have put in. Of course, those at the top have creamed off the profits from their pyramid scheme and that will allow them to launch yet another one a few days later. More maxed out credit cards as people fall for this dream that is peddled where you do no work and the money just floods in
Face reality because making money needs hard graft. These people who tell you that you can make a fortune overnight are simply telling a lie. Get a site up and running and work on it so that you can begin to get the money coming in but the overnight success stories are a joke.
