The game of chess has always been an important part of Persian culture. It is often mentioned in Persian literature, and frequently used as a metaphor for human discords and the blows of fate by great poets. Although throughout centuries the chessmen have remained generally the same, the rules for their movements have undergone change. This guide also includes illustrated depictions of some of the zoomorphic forms of chess pieces.
