Tamerlane Chess Manuscript[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
Greg Myers wrote on Wed, Sep 21, 2016 03:06 PM UTC:

I have seen some conflicting details regarding Tamerlane Chess rules from various authors, regarding the number of times a king can exchange with another piece while under check, for instance, and a few other things. Does anyone have a link to a full English translation of the original persian manuscript describing the rules? I have read parts of it but have not seen a full text translation. 

Thanks. :)

Thank you H.G. Muller for the interactive set up. It is hard to find anything interactive online regarding Tamerlane Chess.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean to "win a stake" in this game? Thanks.

Thanks for the response, that is kind of what I thought but wasn't sure.
