About Scacco Matto Jiro Portable

Scacco Matto dia maka aingam-panahy avy amin'ny hetsika famolavolana radikaly tamin'ny taona 1960 ary manasa ny mpihaino hijery sy hifanerasera amin'ny endrika sy hazavana. Ahitana singa telo mifamatotra magnetika, ny jiro azo ovaina dia azo ovaina amin'ny sary sokitra maivana dimy samihafa, mba hanentanana ny fahalianana vaovao amin'ny anjara asan'ny hazavana amin'ny fanovana ny endrika, ny fahatsapana ary ny atmosfera ao an-trano. Azo ampiasaina ho vazy, sary sokitra na hampifantoka ny hazavana amin'ny faritra iray manokana. Ireo fitambarana dimy azo atao dia mampahatsiahy ny echec, ka izany no nahatonga ny anarana hoe Scacco Matto, dikan-teny italianina momba ny checkmate.
