Astronomical chess
Libro de los Juegos
Astronomical chess or Astrological chessplanets are the elements of this chess. The book described the games and problems of playing situations in chess, dice and other board games that formed the basis of modern backgammon.
In some sources astronomical chess is called the "Zodiac". Despite the name, the game is a dice game that has nothing to do with chess.[3]
