Thai Chess: A Digital Adaptation of a Classic

Thai Chess, played on an 8x8 board, shares similarities with classical chess but features key distinctions. The initial setup mirrors classical chess, except for two crucial differences: the white queen starts on e1 and the white king on d1 (each king is to the left of its queen from the player's perspective); and pawns are positioned on the third rank (white) and sixth rank (black).

Standard chess piece movements for the king and rook are maintained: the king moves one square in any direction, and the rook moves any number of unoccupied squares horizontally or vertically. Pawns move one square forward and capture diagonally forward, as in classical chess. The game supports single-player mode against AI, local two-player mode on a single device, and online multiplayer.

Piece Movement Specifics:

  • King: Moves as in European chess; castling is not allowed.
  • 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 European chess.
  • Pawn: Moves one square forward vertically and captures one square diagonally forward. Pawns promote only to queens upon reaching the sixth rank.

Winning the Game:

Checkmating the opponent's king results in victory, as in classical chess. A stalemate (pat) ends the game in a draw.
