In India, the traditional game of chess has evolved into a unique local product known as the \“Chess Race\“ board game. This innovative version combines the strategic elements of classic chess with the fast-paced excitement of racing games.
Indian manufacturers have created special chess sets featuring traditional Indian motifs and characters, with pieces designed as chariots, elephants, and warriors instead of the standard chess pieces. These locally produced chess race sets are made from materials like rosewood, sandalwood, and brass, showcasing India\“s rich craftsmanship heritage.
The game rules have been adapted to include elements of Indian strategy games, making it both educational and entertaining for players of all ages. Many schools in India now use chess race sets to teach children critical thinking and planning skills.
Local artisans across states like Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh have developed their own regional variations of chess race games, each with unique designs and playing styles that reflect local cultural traditions. |
