I have just assigned the three games I mentioned in an earlier comment. Also, since no one has raised any objections, I have replaced Chaturanga with Shatranj. The rules of Shatranj are part of the historical record, whereas the rules of Chaturanga are not. The descriptions we have of Chaturanga are at worst mistakes and at best educated guesses. The rules of Chaturanga may or may not be the same as Shatranj. If they are the same, then we will be playing Chaturanga by playing Sharranj. If they are not the same, then it's anybody's guess what they are, and we may as well play the closest game we actually have rules for, which is Shatranj.
