The first time this mythological figure was mentioned was in the poem \u201cScacchia ludus\u201d, written in 1525 by the Italian humanist Marco Girolamo Vida. While Vida calls her \u201cScacchis\u201d, 250 years later (1763) in the poem \u201cCaissa\u201d by the English author Sir William Jones she is referred to with her now familiar name. The poem is about the nymph Caissa, for whom the Roman god of war Mars invents chess to conquer her heart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Caissa is in today\u2019s chess a well-known term and eponymous for many chess clubs. The numerous historical references to Caissa in art and literature prompted the publishers of this magazine to use her name as the title of the new publication.<\/p>\n<h4>Conference<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A conference (&#8220;Games of Empires&#8221;), organized by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uni-saarland.de\/fak3\/fr39\/\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Ancient History<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uni-saarland.de\/lehrstuhl\/ghosh-schellhorn\/about-tas.html\" target=\"_blank\">Departement of Transcultural Anglophone Studies&#8217;s<\/a>, at Saarland University is scheduled for April 2016.
