     Once a king invited his intelligent minister for a friendly game of chess. The king offered a reward to the opponent and asked him choice. The minister demanded humbly --- MY LORD, A GRAIN OF WHEAT ON a1 SQUARE,TWO GRAINS ON a2, FOUR ON a3, EIGHT ON a4 THUS I PREFER WHEAT  TILL THE h8 SQUARE FILLED ON GEOMETRIC PROGRESSON .The king calculated for a while smelt the danger and withdrew from the game. The minister said, MY LORD ,ITS NOT THE TIME FOR CHESS.THE SPY HAS JUST INFORMED OF AN IMMINENT ATTAK FROM THE ENEMY.
