WE WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MONGOLIA
CHESS
Mongolian chess pieces are traditionally special in appearance and representation. The kings were often represented as angry monarchs ascending the throne; queens were often represented as tigers or dogs, best friends of the herder.
Camels frequently appear on the older boards; traditionally, there maybe a female and her calf; a child riding a camel; and two male camels in fighting attitude.
The Mongolian chess pieces that are horses are usually running or bucking. The castles are usually harnessed to a horse, and the pawns are often wrestling boys.
In the old nomadic days, Mongolians made the chess pieces from animal bones as much as from wood.
