What is persian chess pieces?

Persian chess pieces, also known as Shatranj pieces, are the predecessors of modern-day chess pieces. Shatranj, the ancient Persian game, was played with a board that was 8x8 in size, but the rules were slightly different from the modern chess game. The pieces used in Persian chess consisted of a king, vizier or counselor, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The king in Persian chess could only move one square diagonally, while the vizier could only move two squares diagonally. The rooks could only move horizontally or vertically, and the knights could move in an L-shaped manner. The bishops could only move diagonally. The pawns could only move one square forward and did not have the two-square starting option. Persian chess pieces had ornate designs and were typically made from ivory, stone, or wood. Over time, these designs evolved into the modern chess pieces that we know today.
