Modern Shatranj. A bridge between modern chess and the historic game of Shatranj. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Seems that the simplest modifications to make to the ancient game of Shatranj is to make just two slight changes based on steps one and two in the progression from Shatranj to Modern Chess: the General (Counselor) could combine his original move with the Elephant and King, and the Elephant could be allowed the option of a single step diagonal move in addition to his two-step jump. Retain the option of transposition for a stalemated King. This should retain the sensibility of the original while "modernising" it somewhat.
