Thai Chess: A Unique Take on a Classic
Thai chess, also known as Makruk, is played on an 8x8 board, similar to Western chess. The initial setup largely mirrors Western chess, but with 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 begin on the third rank (white) and sixth rank (black).
Piece Movement:
- King: Moves one square in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). Castling is not permitted.
- Queen: Moves only one square diagonally.
- Rook: Moves any number of unoccupied squares horizontally or vertically.
- Bishop: Moves one square diagonally in any direction or one square forward vertically.
- Knight: Moves in an "L" shape: two squares vertically then one horizontally, or vice versa (identical to Western chess).
- Pawn: Moves one square forward vertically and captures one square diagonally forward (as in Western chess). Pawns promote to a queen upon reaching the sixth rank.
Winning the Game:
Checkmating the opponent's king results in victory, as in Western chess. A stalemate (pat) ends the game in a draw. The game can be played against AI, a human on the same device, or an online opponent in multiplayer mode.
