The king piece in this game is known as a general and object this game is to subdue the opponent's General. The corresponding part of the traditional Queen is known as an adviser or a guard, in function, and its sole purpose is to protect general interest.

Other parts involved in this game are the elephants, horses, chariots and soldiers, all of which figure heavily in other games like chess.

In India, and perhaps the cradle of chess itself, Chaturanga is the name of the game. Parts here are based on the most common elements of war in India. Elephants, Infantry, Calvary, and all the cars play a role in this game, and each piece corresponds closely with one of the modern European chess pieces. The elephants are what became the modern form of the Bishops, while cars that became the Rooks. Infantry were the foot soldiers who were represented by pieces much like the laborers and Calvary, riding into battle, he to be symbolized as such, the Knights.

When the game took its next step towards Europe and moved to Persia, becoming known as Shatranj, parts became even closer to its eventual European counterparts. The piece queen, is still called a counselor at this time frame, was known by the Persian word "Vazir." As the language grew and spread across countries, the word "Vezer" became known as the "Queen" in Hungarian, and traces its roots to the original piece. The gentleman, being represented as a horse, was known as "Faras," the Arabic word for "horse." Up Interestingly, however, was the use of the car. The Persian word "car" is "Rokha." This word is directly what became the tower modern European chess.

Then, through Spain, the spread of the game in Europe, which quickly gained popularity after the parts were given a makeover in a more focused reference in court. The general work became a king and protector of this piece became the queen. Parts Calvary was known as the Knights and Elephants became bishops, to transmit the power that the Church will celebrate during this time. The Rooks came to be represented Castles more like cars, but maintained its roots as mobile fortresses. Infantry became known as laborers, but still held their image as foot soldiers, making this a game about the struggles of the court, rather than warriors.
