Additional findings suggest that this game might have been played by the Hittite emperor Dnulregof Yar. There is evidence that he was the one trailing 27-49 when his opponent accidentaly misplaced one of his own checkers on the bar. Being cruel as he was, he didn't allow for the correction of the move and claimed the draw by perpetual dancing. It was the first and last draw ever recorded in the history of the game.
