What is "Tamerlane chess"?

Tamerlane chess is a medieval chess variant played on a 10x11 board with 28 pieces per player, including a king, minister, vizir, giraffes, vanguards, horses, rooks, dabbabas, and pawns. The game features unique piece movements, such as the giraffe moving two squares diagonally and one square in a straight line, and the dabbaba moving one square in a straight line. Players aim to checkmate the opponent’s king, just like in traditional chess. The game also includes citadel squares, special spaces located near each player's back row, and these squares have unique strategic value. The addition of extra pieces and the larger board size create new strategic opportunities, making Tamerlane chess a more complex and challenging variant.
