Shatranj (Arabic : شطرنج; from ) is an old form of chess, as played in the Sasanian Empire. Its origins are in the Indian game of chaturaṅga.[1] Modern chess gradually developed from this game, as it was introduced to Europe by contacts in Muslim Al-Andalus (modern Spain) and in Sicily in the 10th century.The particular importance of this piece is that it has the Arabic name of the piece engraved to the side (as shown in the picture) it readsFerz (Wazir) ("counselor"; also spelled fers; Arabic firz, from earlier Arabic فرزين farzīn) which is the piece that moves exactly one square diagonally, which makes it a rather weak piece.
