Wild Samarkand

This page contains one or more presets for playing a game online with Game Courier, an online server for playing Chess variants by correspondence.

This is a Game Courier preset for Wild Samarkand, one of the variants from the Timurid family.

The Timurid family is derived from Tamerlane II, modified for using an even board which allows different square color for the Bishops, Elephants and Camels of the same side.

This variant uses Emirs beside the Kings and Gryphons between Princes and Bishops.

This is a game authored by François Houdebert.
