    “I think we’re doing good here boys” famous last words

    my brain is hurting while watching this video cuz of crazy moves that i never seen before

    personally i love chaturanga chess , you pronounced it right btw. I just don't like how the queen moves in that form of chess but everything other is cool

    you are correct about the russian biHoop because my coach has some russian students and when he talks to them i can understand everything bcuz i study russian in school so theyre bishop is слон – слона. Like in many balkan country as mine and as yours слон means an Elephant and there was an reason behind this name of the bishop , and my coach did tell me the story but i forgorr it . Tommorow i am gonna ask him about the story again and im gonna tell you.:)

    Everyone: Yeah these are cool variants
    Nuke: BUT CAN YOU CASTLE????

    0:30 In Russian chess "Bishop" translates like "Slon" (Elephant in english). Is that somehow connected with first versions of chess?

    You’re right, in Russia we usually call knights “horses”, bishops “elephants” and rook is rook. I’m mostly playing chess online and speak in English during games though.

    Nice, but why didn't you check the piece movements and other rules before playing?

    i was like 5 minutes early only to realize my only comment that showed i was early didnt send rip, good video tho

    you should play chaturaji
    its ancient indian 4 player chess
    its my favorite variant

    Your videos are so fun to watch!!! Upload more content like this🎉

    I actually learnt chess from playing Chinese chess

    Chess is 2400+ years old found in india 400BC

    They really did the Queen dirty XD
    The Man wasn't a bad idea though, it's not a very valuable piece so people don't trade for it but it still guards the King and his surrounding pretty well
    Guess they invented the Queen like it is now to be doing this job while being also an offensive weapon

    I saw beetles, elephants, lighthouse in the board.

    Could you imagine if there was a world championship for variants

    dam my guy is an ancient chess GM hikaru is now afraid of you

    Chess nuck is so underrated 😢😢😢😢

    where can u play the old veriants i cant find it?

    W(my mom is older than chess lol also pin? Also first)

    Bruh Called The Minister(Chaturanga Queen) A Bishop☠️☠️

    In medieval, what's the piece beside the king on the left?

    0:18 the game is Chataranga (said how it looks like). The spiky bishop is called the minister (if i remember correctly), it moved worse then a king! It moves one square diagonally, and was basically useless. The knight is called a horse, and it is basically the same without the name. The pawns are called foot-sliders. Extremely weird name and weird rule, and the rule is that it can’t promote so it is just like a barrier. The rooks are called chariots and moves the exact same. The king is also the exact same and that is it!

    Medieval chess at 6:13. The King moves one square in any direction.
    The Counsellor/Queen moves only one square diagonally. The Elephant/Bishop moves exactly 2 spaces diagonally. It can jump over other game pieces. This means that its movement is restricted to only 8 places on the board. The Knight moves like the modern chess knight: two spaces forward/backward or sideways plus one space at a right angle (an L-shape). The knight jumps over other pieces. The Rook moves like the modern one: unlimited movement forward, backward or sideways until it has reached another piece. It cannot jump. The Pawn moves one square forward when not capturing. Capturing occurs one step diagonally. Unlike modern chess, the pawn does not have the two-square step as the initial move. When pawns reach the other end of the board they are promoted to a counsellor.
    I did not find any research about the other new pieces shown. That is all!

    In my Country ,
    King = ноён ( king )
    Queen = Бэрс ( idk what's the meaning )
    Bishop = тэмээ ( Camel )
    Knight = Морь ( Horse )
    Rook = Тэрэг ( rook )
    Pawn = Хүү ( Child )
