The Great Game, military and political machinations in Central Asia between the Russian Empire and the British Empire. It may also refer to:
"The Great Game" (Also called the Tournament of Shadows (Russian: Турниры теней, Turniry Teney) in Russia) was the strategic economic and political rivalry and conflict between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for supremacy in Central Asia at the expense of Afghanistan, Persia and the Central Asian Khanates/Emirates. The classic Great Game period is generally regarded as running approximately from the Russo-Persian Treaty of 1813 to the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, in which nations like Emirate of Bukhara fell. A less intensive phase followed the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, causing some trouble with Persia and Afghanistan until the mid 1920s.
In the post-Second World War post-colonial period, the term has informally continued in its usage to describe the geopolitical machinations of the Great Powers and regional powers as they vie for geopolitical power and influence in the area, especially in Afghanistan and Iran/Persia.
The term "The Great Game" is usually attributed to Arthur Conolly (1807–1842), an intelligence officer of the British East India Company's 6th Bengal Light Cavalry. It was introduced into mainstream consciousness by British novelist Rudyard Kipling in his novel Kim (1901).
Release Date is the 12th studio album by the Finnish avant-garde progressive metal band Waltari.
The track "Spokebone" is a collaboration between Waltari, Tomi Joutsen of Amorphis, and the Finnish folk group Värttinä.
Great may refer to:
A game is structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).
Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational, or psychological role.
Attested as early as 2600 BC, games are a universal part of human experience and present in all cultures. The Royal Game of Ur, Senet, and Mancala are some of the oldest known games.
In episode one Rory Stewart tells the story of British interventions in Afghanistan in the 19th century, when the British Empire became obsessed with the idea that their rival, Russia, was considering the invasion of Afghanistan as a staging post for an attack on British India. It was a period of mutual suspicion and paranoia that later became known as "The Great Game". Afghanistan was perceived by Victorian Britain, as it's believed to be today, to be an immediate threat to British national security. In this first film, Rory Stewart tells the story of the decision-making that led to the first British invasion of Afghanistan, and the three Anglo-Afghan wars fought in this era. And he tells the story of Afghanistan's unlikely reaction to this period. When an Afghan-elite made a futile attem...

The Great Game of the 19th Century The Great Game was an intense rivalry between the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia, beginning in the nineteenth century. British Lord Ellenborough started "The Great Game" on January 12, 1830, with an edict establishing a new trade route from India to Bukhara, using Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan. The aim was to create a buffer against Russia to prevent it from controlling any ports on the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Russia wanted to establish a neutral zone in Afghanistan allowing for their use of crucial trade routes. Watch for more info.

What other games were ruined by terrible announcing? If you're new, Subscribe! → http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-TPS Description: Being a sports announcer is one of the coolest jobs out there. You’re paid six to 7 figures to call the biggest sporting events on national television. And heck, you can make an epic sports moment even more great if you can call it properly. Unfortunately, some of the best sports moments of all-time were ruined by terrible commentary. I’m DeQwan Young, and today we present 10 times where the announcer ruined a great game.

Today I voiced my long winded opinion on the recently released "early access" of the game Fortnite. This borders on review and rant on the game, it's practices and goes into more detail why I would say that the game is great.. but I can't be the one to recommend it to you. Is it weird to say that I really enjoy Fortnite.. think it's a great game.. but can not in good conscience recommend it? ...

A playthrough of Activision's 1996 FMV graphic adventure for Dos and Windows 95 PCs, Spycraft: The Great Game. Spycraft is an excellent adventure for those who want their games with a serious, adult tone without being vulgar, or to not pander and hand-hold throughout. It's and extremely difficult game, but only because it fully expects you to do the mental heavy lifting yourself. No convenient exposition that makes life easy for the player anywhere here. It's pretty logical, though, and I promise it will leave you feeling quite self-satisfied if you manage to finish it without cheating. The different endings can be found at 3:09:41, following the main credits that finish off the main playthrough segment. I'd recommend watching this video at the 360p setting instead of in HD.

While unveiling its long-awaited Afghanistan strategy, the US embraced India and dropped Pakistan as its ally. Pakistan was infuriated when US President Trump asked India to deepen its economic relations with Afghanistan. Pakistan interprets India’s engagement in Afghanistan as a direct threat to Pakistan. This is a misconception caused by the lack of trust between the two countries. “Pakistan should not object to our relationship with India. We assure that Kabul-New Delhi relations will not harm Islamabad,” said Omar Zakhilwal, the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan. In October, a mega trade and investment show was held in New Delhi. The US-sponsored event aimed at better regional integration and a strengthening of the economic nexus between India and Afghanistan. For Pakistan, this means the...
