The true origin of chess remains unknown, however most historians agree that it emerged in India no later than the sixth century. In India, Persia and the Arab lands where the game was initially played, all the chess figures were male, and there was no queen at all on the chess board. Chess pieces consisted of the king, his chief general called vizier and a line of soldiers. There were also chariots, horses and elephants.
Chess was introduced to Spain in the 8th century. It was first played with abstract pieces, representing the vizier (predecessor of the queen), elephant (predecessor of the bishop), horse (predecessor of the knight), rook and pawns. Abstract chess sets are still used in certain areas, even after realistic chess pieces had been introduced.  The Ancient Asian Chess Set
After chess was brought to Europe from Asia, the chess queen replaced vizier throughout Europe. The first records of the chess queen date to the 10th century. It was first allowed to advance only one diagonal square at a time. The growing market for the chess game was among European nobility. By the end of the 15th century, the queen became the most powerful piece on the board. It could move in any direction, one space at a time or across the entire board.
The Book of Chess by Jacobus de Cessolis (an Italian author), became a medieval bestseller, and was translated in all major languages. Cessolis described chess pieces with human virtues. King was described as firm, intelligent, incorruptible and wise. Knights were to be brave, compassionate and generous. Rooks were expected to demonstrate patience, humility and voluntary poverty. This book influenced the transformation of chess from a royal game to a widely popular one.  The Ancient Southern European Chess Queen
Marilyn Yalom in her book Birth of the Chess Queen argues that the chess queen was influenced by the Spanish female ruler Isabella of Castile (1451-1504), strengthened in England by Elizabeth I (1533-1603), and fostered in Russia by Catherine II the Great (reigned from 1762 to 1796). The transformation from the male figure of the vizier to the queen in Russia took place six hundred years after the chess queen had appeared in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, England and Scandinavia. In Russia, the bishop was represented by an elephant, and the rook by a boat. The king was called tsar, and instead of the queen, “ferz” (Arabic vizier) was used, which remained masculine well into the 18th century.
In the nineteenth century, chess clubs opened in the United States and Europe. Modern chess game became widespread, especially with youth. Today, as a result of pawn promotion, it is possible to have multiple queens on the board at the same time.  The Modern Chess Queen is Abstract

And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."

Customer Comments
I love these sunglasses. They are nice and
light and they help block the sun. They are the best glasses that I
bought and everyone will love them.... by Jane on 2/02/2012
I have the gold, brown radiant sunglasses and love them. Classic, edgy
and bold. 100% happy with my choice of purchase. Great quality worth the
money! Woo woo! ... by Kate on 1/10/2012
These glasses are wonderful and the ball really does "pop out." The
downside is that the nose pieces detach after time and need to be
re-glued repeatedly. ... by Diane on 8/25/2011
For those that need new rubber tips. You can use a product called
heat-shrink sold at electrical supply stores. It is a sleeve that you
can slip over the sunglasses and apply heat to. They will constrict
tightly around the frame and provide great cushioning. ... by Bob on 8/25/2011
