Thai Chess: A Digital Take on a Familiar Game
Thai Chess, played on an 8x8 board, shares similarities with classical chess but boasts unique starting positions and piece movements. The game is available in single-player mode against AI, local multiplayer on a single device, and online multiplayer.
Setup: The board dimensions are identical to standard chess. However, the initial arrangement differs in two key aspects:
- The white king starts on d1, and the white queen on e1 (reversed from standard chess).
- Pawns are positioned on the third rank for white and the sixth for 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 in one direction, then one square perpendicularly), as in standard chess.
- Pawn: Moves one square forward vertically and captures one square diagonally forward, similar to standard chess. Upon reaching the sixth rank, a pawn promotes exclusively to a queen.
Winning the Game:
The objective, as in classical chess, is to checkmate the opponent's king. A stalemate results in a draw.
