About Scacco Matto Çiraya Gerguhêz

Scacco Matto îlhama xwe ji tevgera sêwirana radîkal a 1960-an digire û temaşevanan vedixwîne ku keşif bikin û bi şikil û ronahiyê re bigerin û têkilî daynin. Bi sê hêmanên bi magnetîkî ve girêdayî ye, çiraya portable dikare di pênc peykerên ronahiyê yên cihêreng de were guheztin, da ku eleqeyek nû di rola ronahiyê de di veguheztina xuyang, hest û atmosfera xaniyan de dilîze. Ew dikare wekî gul, peyker an jî ji bo balkişandina ronahiyê li herêmek taybetî were bikar anîn. Pênc berhevokên mimkun ên satrancê tînin bîra xwe, ji ber vê yekê navê Scacco Matto, wergera îtalî ya matmayî ye.
