Linkfest: 'Da Vinci Link' to Chess Drawings

A manuscript containing early illustrations of how to play the game of chess was discovered last year in a private library in Gorizzia, a town in northeast Italy.

Researchers believe these illustrations may have been drawn by the hand of Leonardo da Vinci. If researchers can conclude that the drawings are indeed authentic works of da Vinci, the manuscript will be priceless.

It's the BPP's Ramble.
