| Modern Shatranj is a strong version of Shatranj, meant to bridge the gap between Shatranj and modern chess. It makes two small changes to the moves, and changes the promotion rule.
The General or Fers moves like the King, one square in any direction, rather than being colorbound.
The Elephants may slide one step in a diagonal direction, as well as leap 2 squares in the diagonal directions. They remain colorbound, but may now reach all 32 squares of their respective colors on the board.
Promotion is to a General or to any previously lost piece. |
