Application Description

Thai Chess: A Strategic Board Game

Thai Chess, also known as Makruk, is played on an 8x8 board, similar to classical chess. The initial setup largely mirrors classical chess, but with two key 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 begin on the third rank (white on the third, black on the sixth).

The movement of the king and rook remains consistent with classical chess: the king moves one square in any direction, and the rook moves any number of unoccupied squares horizontally or vertically. Pawns also move one square forward and capture diagonally forward, as in standard chess. The game can be enjoyed against artificial intelligence, a fellow player on the same device, or an online opponent in multiplayer mode.

Piece Movement Specifics:

King: Moves as in European chess. 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 European chess.
Pawn: Moves one square forward vertically and captures one square diagonally forward, mirroring European chess rules. A pawn promotes only to a queen upon reaching the sixth rank.

Winning the Game:

The objective, as in classical chess, is to checkmate the opponent's king. A stalemate results in a draw.
