Description

This game originated in India and it is played on a Chess board using a full set of black Chess pieces, representing the Sepoys, against a single white piece, the Maharajah. The Sepoy player's goal is to checkmate the Maharajah, while the Maharajah player seeks to checkmate the Sepoy's king.

The black pieces begin the game in the same positions as in a standard game of Chess. Pawn promotion and castling are not permitted. The Maharajah starts on any square in the first three rows, and is moved like a knight or queen.
