Thai Chess: A Digital Adaptation of a Classic

Thai Chess, a game played on an 8x8 board, shares similarities with classical chess but features key distinctions. The initial setup mirrors classical chess, however, the white queen starts on e1 and the white king on d1 (each king positioned to the left of its queen from the player's perspective). Uniquely, pawns begin on the third rank (white) and sixth rank (black).

Piece Movement:

• King: Moves one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Castling is not permitted.
• 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 classical chess.
• Pawn: Moves one square forward vertically and captures one square diagonally forward, similar to classical chess. Pawns promote to a queen upon reaching the sixth rank.

Winning the Game:

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

The game supports various play modes: against artificial intelligence, locally with another player on the same device, or online against opponents in multiplayer mode. This digital adaptation of Thai Chess offers a unique and engaging experience for chess enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
