I read rules of shantraj, there was writen what elephant moves two squares
diagonal and jumps over pieces of either colour... But before i read in
Wikipedia what in shantraj it also capture enemy pieces on square, wich is
jumped (thus, it can capture 2 pieces in 1 turn). What is true? Or it are
different variants of shantraj?
Andanother question: on another site of chess variants i read about ancient
chinese game 'Semedo', ancestor of Xian-qi.  There was writen what this
game was described in medieval book on latin, very indefinitely (for
example, 'King don't attack' - does it mean what it don't move at all
or what?). Can it really be true what exact rules of this game are
currently unknown?
