Chinese gods are Indian gods, that you are losing.
Chinese chess is Indian chess, that you already lost.
You are so old, on your birthday, the candles cost more than the cake!
Chess pieces as today's modern military analogue.

You are correct.
I am aware of the language I use. I use an Arabic word as the closest living descendant.
The villain Jafar is a Vizier in the Disney movie Aladdin.
The word "chess" itself comes form the word "shah", king, as in The Shah of Iran, Arabic word.
I'm sorry India, you are too old.
Typical pantented American ignorance. Chess was called Chaturanga or four divisions of the armies of ancient India. You can also work better on your respostes which are tedious and silly.
You think you are smart. Like Wile E Coyote, you just fell into your own trap.
The Chinese could steal that idea right there.
Instead of calling their chess 象棋 Elephant Game, a link to India,
They can call their chess Five Divisions. They added artillery, cannon.
It has all the Four Divisions, but wait there's more!
One more free division. Five for the price of Four.
I bet the Chinese would do that.

1. What is the modern name for that?
2. It has to be rooted in Sanskrit.
3. It should be young American.
Hmm. It should fit all 3 criteria.
Hmm. This is like a riddle.
I've got it!
Pentagon chess!
pañca is five in Sanskrit.
USA! USA! USA!

Time for another musical interlude.
@SreenathKrish
Checkmate!
Hmm.
The Elephant in Chinese chess, moves 2 squares diagonally, cannot cross the River, it should be the Department of Homeland Security.
One of the "Vizier" should be the Senate and the other Congress.
Perfect.
Pentagon Chess.
And.
USA! USA! USA!

The other side should be the Russkies (Russians).
And their color would be Red.
America would be Blue, like the Patriots.
Their Elephants would be the KGB.
Their Viziers would be the Federal Assembly and Duma.
Their presidency would be Czar.
One side would be the Yang (Yankee) and the other side the Kohm (Communist). Star Trek: The Omega Glory.
And we're fighting to defend the E'ed Plebnista.
And the "Kohm" side will be in Cyrillic, to keep it authentic.
And the "King" will be the Hammer and Sickle.
Equal time.

The other side of the River is the
Манифест Коммунистической (Manifest Kommunisticheskoy, Communist Manifesto).
Like
The Battle of Bull Run
The Battle of Manassas
Or we can simplify it as Yang and Kom.

It is strange.
The "Kohms" look just like us the "Yangs".

I don't think chess pieces were ever meant to be based off the military, right? A bishop isn't exactly a weapon

Chess is based on ancient Indian military.
The Bishop used to be the Elephant.
@chesssblackbelt
What do you think chess is based on?
I'm sorry India, you are too old.
Typical pantented American ignorance. Chess was called Chaturanga or four divisions of the armies of ancient India.
1. You are ignorant.
2. I play Chinese chess. I play a chess where the Elephant moves 2 squares diagonally.
What is "chess" called in India now? "chess"? An Arabic word.
I play Chinese chess.
Funny the Chinese call it
象棋 Elephant Game
象 That is a glyph of an elephant. 4 legs, 1 tail, 2 big ears, 1 trunk.
Elephants are symbolic of India.
They call it more correctly in China than you do in India.
"Typical pantented American ignorance".
Here's your typical Indian ignorance.
It is funny that Chinese chess preserved the old Indian chess, just as China preserved Hinduism through Buddhism,
while you don't play a chess where the Elephant moves 2 squares diagonally, and you are losing Hindusim.
