Thai Chess: A Digital Adaptation of a Classic

Thai Chess, played on an 8x8 board, shares similarities with classical chess but features key differences in piece setup and movement. This digital version allows for single-player AI matches, local two-player games, and online multiplayer.

Piece Setup: The board dimensions are identical to standard chess. However, the initial arrangement differs in two ways:

  • 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).
  • Pawns are positioned on the third rank (white) and sixth rank (black).

Piece Movement:

  • King: Moves one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (no castling).
  • 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 standard chess.
  • Pawn: Moves one square forward vertically and captures one square diagonally forward, as in standard chess. Pawns promote to a queen upon reaching the sixth rank.

Winning the Game: The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king. A stalemate results in a draw.
