Senterej – Ethiopian chess with a flying start

By master

The setup is the same as Western chess, with most of the rules in place. But what is really special about Senterej is that at the start, before the first capture is made, both players can move their pieces as many times as they like, without concern for the opponent’s moves. Even spectators can intervene. Ethiopian Empress Taytu Betul was one of the stars of this cheerful African game.
