After Indian chaturanga, Chess was deeply changed in Persian and Arab world. I do not see any mention about that game which rules are very close to the one we all know. In Spain, Arabs -where remained 8 centuries, the new rules were set !. It has been added:
- pawns first move can "jump" two cells,
- the 2 Rocks,
- and the prise-en-passant.
The Arab/Persian chess is called Old Chess.
Also, there is a variant game famous in Ethiopia, a very old country of Chess called Senterej (see wikipedia).
