20:29 FUN FACT: chaturanga (चतुरङ्ग) game has a "chariot" instead of a "Tower" and an "elephant" instead of a "Bishop". Today, the name of the "Bishop" (Obispo) chess piece in Spanish is "Alfil", which literally means "the elephant" even though the standard clergy shape is used. Also, tough "Rook" standard name in Spanish is "Torre", tough "Roque" is a synonym, and "Roque" literally means "Chariot". Even more, "castling" in Spanish is "enroque", which literally means "to get into the chariot" which is what the King made originally to protect himself. So, in Spanish we use two lost-in-time names for chess pieces/movement that are 2,600 years old without realizing.
Just Fascinating story of Chess pieces
Genial charla y muestra de colección ..realmente una joya todo el material y expositor. Felicitaciones
Si miras el tablero de chaturanga en 20:29, verás que la Torre es un Carruaje (o Carro) y el Alfil un Elefante. "Alfil" significa literalmente "el elefante" y un sinónimo de Torre es "Roque" que significa literalmente "Carruaje"; y más aún, hacemos un "enroque" que literalmente significa "subirse al carruaje" para proteger al Rey ;-)
