The modern game of chess started around 1475 in Spain when
the queen and bishop got a much more powerful move. It was
called "Mad Queen Chess".
These new rules quickly spread throughout western Europe and in Spain. The enhanced move for the chess queen started after the coronation of the powerfull queen of Spain Isabella I. The historical records duly note that Queen Isabella I was crowned with the sword of justice raised in front of her, and the sceptre and throne were given to her. This allusion to the real-world event is so clear within the Scachs dÕAmor poem to IsabellaÕs actual coronation that the inspiration of Queen Isabella for the new chess queen and powerfull dama of the draughts game is unquestionable. The Spaniards like the Moors, played a game on the board of lines and called it alquerque. The game became modern draughts through being transferred to the chessboard around that time. This book is the result of at least 30 years investigations in the Spanish archives

Good quality pillows
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are very soft and supportive as advertised. W find them a little too thick for my taste (why I only gave 4 stars), but personal preference is very subjective with pillows. They are well made and high quality, and am happy with my purchase.

Overall, not that comfortable!
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
Only okay. I find these pillows to be heavy, and not very conforming. Overall, not that great.

goose down pillows.
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
Since receiving them, these king-size white goose down pillows have truly transformed my sleep. They are incredibly soft and fluffy to the touch, so plush it's hard to believe they hold their shape. Sleeping on them is like lying on a cloud. The 100% cotton cover adds extra comfort: it feels cool to the touch, breathes well throughout the night, and helps me maintain a comfortable temperature while I sleep. Furthermore, the "reinforced fiber" structure is noticeable: after several weeks of use, the pillows retain their support; they don't clump or lose their shape, ensuring consistently good rest. I find they have the ideal balance between firmness and softness: firm enough to support my neck and head, yet plush enough to adapt to my posture without creating pressure. This has improved my nights; I sleep more soundly and wake up with less stiffness in my neck. In short: these pillows combine luxury, comfort, and durability. If you're looking to improve your sleep quality with soft, firm, and breathable pillows—especially in king size—these are perfect. Definitely one of the best investments you can make for better sleep.

Hotel-like comfort at home I bought these pillows from Beautyrest and they really exceeded my expectations. They are very soft but at the same time have good support, which helps you rest better throughout the night. They feel like luxury hotel pillows, especially because of their down-like filling. The jumbo size is perfect and they come well filled, they are not easily crushed. In addition, the cotton cover feels fresh and of good quality. They arrived quickly and well packed. After using them for several days, they maintain their shape and comfort. I definitely recommend them if you are looking to improve your rest without spending too much.
