  • Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25
    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

It is one of the most popular board games in China, and is in the same family as international chess, chaturanga, segues, Indian chess and janggi. Aside from China and areas with significant ethnic Chinese communities, xiangqi is also a popular pastime in Vietnam, where it is known as cờ tướng. The game is a battle between two armies, with the aim of capturing the enemy general (king). The distinctive features of xiangqi include cannons (pao) that must jump to capture; a rule prohibiting generals from confronting each other directly; The area on the board is called the river and the palace, which restrict the movement of some parts (but boost that of others); and placing the pieces at the intersection of board lines, not in squares.

  • Rick Knowlton Author of the Website, Ancientchess.Com
    Presentation to the Chess Collectors International Meeting, Princeton, NJ, May 2009 Rick Knowlton Author of the website, AncientChess.com The chess we play today is over 500 years old. Our modern rules were born in Italy or Spain, toward the end of the 15th century. This new “chess of the rabid queen” quickly replaced older versions throughout Europe. Since that time, our chess has developed a tradition of literature and analysis far beyond that of any other board game. But this modern European chess was never the only chess. Looking a few centuries back into our history, and expanding our view across neighbor- ing continents, we can see chess as a cross-cultural phenomenon with a wide range of traditions. In effect, these other variants of chess may be- come a window into the distant reaches of time and culture. Let’s take a brief look at some of the world‘s strongest chess traditions. Ancient Chess Chess was already being played in Persia when Muslim armies con- quered that area in the 7th century. It quickly spread through the Muslim world, and on into southern Europe. This chess, known in Arabic as shatranj, differed from the modern game in that its queen (then a king’s advisor) only moved one space diagonally, and the bishop (then an elephant) moved only two spaces diagonally. The con- ventional pieces were simplified forms representing the members of the ancient army (chariot, horse, elephant, etc.) Chinese Chess Chinese chess, xiangqi (“shyahng-chee”), is probably played by more people than any other board game.
