Bozorgmehr Wins Three Games

From E2.1, Chess Comes to Anooshirvan. It illustrates E2.1.78–89 (to E2.1.92):

E2.1.78
Then Bozorgmehr set board and men in line,Before the throne where sleepless fortunes shine.
E2.1.79
He said to chiefs and Mobadan, “Be wise;Attend his words and judge where counsel lies.”
E2.1.80
The sage transformed the board to warlike ground,The king at center, with his troops around.
E2.1.81
He drew the forces up on left and right,With eager footmen foremost in the fight.
E2.1.82
Beside the king, the counselor had place,To guide his thought when battle changed its face.
E2.1.83
On either flank the elephants were set,As though for war the opposing armies met.
E2.1.84
Beside them stood the chargers for the fray,With two wise riders placed in that array.
E2.1.85
The warrior Rukhs stood mounted on each wing,And fought on right and left to guard the king.
E2.1.86
He set the board, then challenged Hind’s own peer,And played three games before the court austere;
E2.1.87
Three times they strove, three times the sage prevailed,While all the Indian envoy’s tactics failed.
E2.1.88
The envoy out of Hind was vexed and stirred,Amazed by all he witnessed and had heard.
E2.1.89
He marveled at that man of sleepless mind,That wizard-sage whose equal none could find.
