Thai Chess: A Unique Take on the Classic Game
Thai chess, also known as Makruk, shares a similar 8x8 board with classic chess. The initial setup, however, features two key differences: the white queen starts on e1 and the white king on d1 (each king is to the left of its queen from the player's perspective); and pawns are positioned on the third rank (white) and sixth rank (black).
The movement of the king and rook remains consistent with standard chess: the king moves one square in any direction, and the rook moves any number of unoccupied squares horizontally or vertically. Pawns move one square forward and capture diagonally forward, as in Western chess. However, the queen's movement is restricted to only one diagonal square. The bishop's movement is unique: one diagonal square in any direction or one square forward vertically. The knight's movement is identical to its European counterpart. A pawn transforms into a queen upon reaching the opponent's sixth rank. Castling is not permitted.
The game can be played against AI, with another person on the same device, or online against a human opponent. The objective, like in standard chess, is to checkmate the opponent's king. A stalemate results in a draw.
