Simp's "most useless piece" or the dark square bishop ended up being in on the checkmate. That piece is now my favorite Chaturanga piece.
@codetaku7 ай бұрын
The fact that it jumps--which Simp admits he didn't know at the start of the game--really does make it much more useful than previously thought.

The pieces that look different in this variation do so because they were named differently. - The Queen is called a "Counselor" - The Bishop is called an "Elephant" - The rooks are called "Chariot", though the Persian word for chariot "Rohk" is what inspired the word Rook for chess.

"Vizier" is also a common name for the Queen/Counselor piece, though this sometimes refers to a different version which moves 1 square horizontally or vertically instead of diagonally.

Man people are confused with how elephants moved, that they choose the most stupid moves for it, originally elephants move like bishops but maximum of only two diagonal square but can also jump over its own pieces but not the enemy's pieces. They also confused with the general piece (the queen), general is just like pawn but can move backwards and only can attack diagonally, this is where the confusion originated from on what happen to the pawn after it reaches the end of the board, originally it gains the ability to move backward, so acted just like the general.

Murray, p. 227, translating a passage of the so-called Man. MS, copied in 850/1446, gives an early estimation of the pieces' relative values, tried by As-Suli. "The Shah [K] is reckoned beyond value because of his superior dignity. The highest in value after the Shah is the Rukh [R]. Its value is one dirhem. The Faras' [N] value is 2/3 dirhem. The Firzan's [Q] value is 1/3 dirhem, but some say 3/8 dirhem. The Fil's [B] value is 1/4 dirhem. KP and QP, each 1/4 dirhem; BP and KtP, each 1/6 dirhem rising to 1/5 dirhem; a marginal P 1/8 dirhem because it can only take on one side." As-Suli was a Shatranj master, & according to him Alfil is worth 'bout the same as central pawn.

So pieces jumping over pawns was a thing back in 1.0? Even if it wasn't a bug-turned feature and was just a feature from the start, it's terrible how the developers kept ignoring the player-base and kept it in when most people didn't want it. 6th Century Indian guy is literally the worst game developer.

Chinese nationalists have found a reference to a "river game" that predates Chaturanga, and claim that China was the first to invent chess. However, there is no evidence that this "river game" was actually Xiangqi or another game, and previously it is thought that Xiangqi comes from combining Chaturanga with another game's board, which makes the claim even more suspect.
