Under its BETA version , chess.com has rolled out a few other variants of chess , which weren't available here before. 

How did you find the Chaturanga Variant ? 

My experience was terrible....I could not understand the rules ....and lost my very first game terribly.

And you should try all I tried in my life before to decide if I should try what I did not try and you tried, okay?

I read about Shatranj and Chaturanga before it was on this site.  I read that baring the enemy king and stalemating the enemy are also ways to win in both of them, and found that baring the enemy king isn't a win on this site.  Also it technically should be called Shatranj.

Which time are you referring to ?

Well i dont know exactly but it was before partitioj at least.

In it pawns couldnt move two spaces in their first move and they could only promote into a knight if they were on the knight's beginning square and a queen if her square or the king's square and a castle if... there would have been other differences as well

I used to play Chaturanga when I was a kid. Been so long. Wow. I need to revise the rules again. Well, I'm glad that they added it.
