Вельможи проигрывали в шахматы целые провинции. Венецианский правитель Пьетро II упустил победу в игре с хорватским королем Святославом, и Венеция лишилась в пользу Хорватии земель вдоль Адриатического моря. В честь этого шахматная доска до наших дней осталась на хорватском гербе. На некоторое время шахматы и в Европе заменили военные действия.

The ruler of Venice - Pietro II lost a chess match to the King of Chroatia Svetoslav and according to the terms lost and handed over to Chroatia the Adriatic coast of today's Chroatia. Therefore the checkered flag of Chroatia. If you google maybe you will find the source. I have saved in on disk sometime very long ago.

Chroatians are one of the first in state gambling :) and have it on their flag:)
