What is "sittuyin"?
Sittuyin is a traditional Burmese strategy board game that is similar to chess but with different rules and pieces. It is played on an 8x8 grid, and each player controls 16 pieces: a king, four ministers, two chariots, two horses, two elephants, and eight pawns. The objective of sittuyin is to checkmate the opponent’s king, just like in chess, but the movement of the pieces differs slightly. For example, the elephant moves in a different way than the bishop in chess, and the ministers move diagonally, but only within a specific range. Sittuyin has been played for centuries in Myanmar and remains a popular game today, offering a unique twist on the classic chess game.
