Sittuyin is
the name for the Chess variant of Burma. The game is played on
an uncheckered board of 8 by 8 squares. Each player has one king,
one general, two carriages, two horses, two elephants, and eight
soldiers.
There have
been many conflicting descriptions of the game. According to Pritchard,
in his Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, these contained many errors.
The only known book on Sittuyin Chess was called Myan-ma sit bayin
lan-nyunt sa-ok gyi, and written by by Shwei-gyin U Bha, in consultation
with several chess masters of that time.
The game is
very old, and may have been a direct (or almost direct) offspring
from Chaturanga, the original game of Chess from which it all
began!
