From Rules : In Chaturaji, the "boat triumph" occurs when a boat moves to form a 2x2 square filled with boats, allowing it to capture all three opposing boats in that square. This special rule adds a strategic element to the game, emphasizing the importance of positioning.
Ive played chaturaji for a year and never knew this great find

Well done. Much harder against a 2300+
I hope I've started a trend. I think all the boats should explode and you get 20 points.

for this to even happen, you need 3 enemy rooks clustered together, allow them to capture each other. unless ur playing noobs, this would never happen
Are you suggesting pure ancient Chaturaji? That boat sailed long ago. 😜
A 2x2 personal boat square in modern chaturaji seems a natural enough adaptation of the original rules. It's hard to get but doable.
