Tamerlane Chess

Tamerlane chess (Tamerlane's Chess, or Shatranj-i-Kamil) is a large-board medieval chess variant played on a 10x11 or 11x10 board, associated with the Central Asian conqueror Timur (Tamerlane), featuring an expanded array of pieces including camels, giraffes, and war-machines beyond standard chess pieces. It's studied today mainly by chess historians and variant enthusiasts interested in the evolution of chess across cultures.
