•I believe this chess is more balanced than standart chess. People spam queen when their pawn reaches the final square. This makes the game so predictiable after a time and also putting the game in losing stance for player. I mean you have no way around it if you already lost all or most of your special figures like rooks, bishops and queen. In Tamerlane chess queen becomes very special and strong. Some people can sacrifice their queen in some hard situations but this time you can not do that easily. •New figures seem like a bit more complex to adjust to me but I believe we can apply more maneuover tactics on the table than standart game tactics we have. •I wish siege could move 1 square at a time but if enemy figure has 2-3 square away from it, it could attack and take enemy figure out of the game. What if the figure is 1 square away then you can take it down too. Your max range is limited by 3 square. •For elephant, that figure could be more like rook but instead of moving to all vertical directions unlimitlessly it can move for 2-3 square at a time. I mean elephant would make a perfect reserve nerfed rook.
Exactly regular chess is very boring and predictable while this does indeed look like greater chess with no peices jumping all over making the game much more balanced imo and testing your true skills
@@CheckmateSurvivor I really like the promotion rule. The camel & giraffe are also very usefull pieces. But I do agree many of the rules are complicated. But tbh those scenarios rarely arise when playing.
Tamerlane loved to watch battles by sitting in his camp 🏕 and playing chess because in the war of Ankara, he commanded to his generals all actions they had to take and Tamerlane starts to play chess with his son, Shakhruh Mirza, and when Bayezid (Sultan of Ottaman Empire) was defeated and caught by Temurid soldiers, he was taken into Temur's tent and Temur was playing chess and sees Bayezid and stands up and started to laugh 😃 then Bayezid says "It is not suitable for one World Conqueror to laugh at other Sultan" then Temur replies "I am not laughing at you because of loosing the battle, but I am laughing that Allah (God) gave whole world to lame and blind". (Because Temur was lame, he was hurted from his one leg in the battle, and Bayezid wasn't actually blind but before that battle Temur said to Bayezid so many times not to war because both, Temur and Bayezid, were Muslims but Bayezid was blind because of his arrogance)
@@Makofueled I have found designs online from thingiverse and I’m currently 3d printing my own tamerlane chess set. Couldn’t found the set anywhere so why not make it my own?
Brilliant video! But I have a question, doesn't the pawn capture straightforward, or does it capture a piece diagonally forward like in modern Western Chess?
Hi, we got the main pieces from wikipedia and made another pieces on photoshop. If you need that pieces, I uploaded them. : drive.google.com/file/d/1ImdUgoRACBsBJrQgK4AMwpernl3WKDwM/view?usp=sharing

1) When your King gets into the opponent's citadel, instead of declaring a draw you may exchange your King with the place of either the Prince or the Adventitious King. The reason for doing this is to get your King away from a dangerous position and protects the piece you put in the citadel. Also, if you have your Prince or Adventitious King in the opponent's citadel, it prevents the opponent's Adventitious King from getting in their own citadel so you may declare a draw in the future. 2) Nothing is. I don't know why he did that, could've at least put the effort to develop an actual check.
@@hecate1075 1) Isn't the king functionally equivalent to a Prince / Adventitious King though? Since you must capture all royal pieces but one before checkmating the last? 2) Doesn't the giraffe check the king? 1 square back and then 3 towards the king
@@CheckmateSurvivor I said Mongol Emprie not Mongol Empire. Mongol Emprie is my own imaginary micronation (which is big) that is made to be associated with Tamerlane chess.
Sudden urge to attack the Golden Horde
Finding more chess variations on RUclips that I could not find before. Love that

@@StoDinara-gq4cc That's 11 pieces. Are you sure you did not add one? IMHO
Most underrated chess variant
Neredeyse Hiç bir türkün bu santrancı oynamaması çok üzücü hatta ülkede satılmıyor bile
It's super cool, I will find a board to play on somewhere.
To be fair it does look super complicated
I tried to do this chess with its pieces and left it halfway through and it was extremely difficult to make.

Maaaaan Mind blown :OOOO
I can see why most of these pieces got rejected from traditional chess (except the camel).
Camel's movement doesn't fit well in the 8x8 board. It is a weird piece that can threaten things far away, but is unable to deal with anything nearby.
A good chess variant
how about timurlane's grant Acederex
he invented it in Spain
Please provide full information brother 🙌🙌

5:40 so why would you want to do this actually? It's honestly hard to understand how it works and why
6:07 what puts the white king in check?
1) When your King gets into the opponent's citadel, instead of declaring a draw you may exchange your King with the place of either the Prince or the Adventitious King. The reason for doing this is to get your King away from a dangerous position and protects the piece you put in the citadel. Also, if you have your Prince or Adventitious King in the opponent's citadel, it prevents the opponent's Adventitious King from getting in their own citadel so you may declare a draw in the future.
