Makruk is the traditional Thai chess game, also known as Thai chess. It is a board game descended from the ancient Indian game of Chaturanga, making it a relative of modern chess.
Makruk has unique piece movements, particularly for the Queen (met) and Bishop (khon). It is considered by some to be more strategic, resembling an anticipated endgame of international chess.
The Makruk pawn (bia) moves and captures like a pawn in international chess but cannot move two steps on the first move and cannot be captured en passant. Promotion to a Queen occurs upon reaching the sixth rank.
