Twenty-five red and white squares checker the shield at the center of Croatia's flag; locals call it the sahovnica, and one legend traces it to a 10th-century king who won his freedom in a chess match. Above the shield sits a small crown of five historic regional emblems, the whole thing riding on a plain red-white-blue tricolor.
