Seirawan Chess

Seirawan Chess is an exciting chess variant involving two additional pieces called "Hawks" and "Elephants." Each player starts with these new pieces, which can be introduced onto the board after making a move with a standard piece. The Hawks move like a queen combined with a knight’s leap, while the Elephants move diagonally like bishops but can also jump over other pieces. Players strategize to use these pieces, along with standard chess tactics, creating dynamic and complex gameplay. The game maintains traditional chess objectives—checkmate—but with added depth and variety due to these extra pieces and their unique movements.
