Bete Tselot, meaning "House of the Virgin" in Ge'ez, is a classic Ethiopian board game that has been played for centuries. It is a strategy game for two players, played on an 8x8 checkered board with 32 pieces.

Objective

The objective of Bete Tselot is to capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them from moving.

Setup

The game is played on a checkered board with 8 rows and 8 columns. Each player has 16 pieces, which are placed on the first three rows of their side of the board. The pieces are arranged in a specific formation, with the king in the center of the back row, flanked by two guards, two ministers, two horses, two elephants, and two rooks.

Gameplay

Players take turns moving one piece at a time. Pieces can move in different ways depending on their type:

* King: Moves one square in any direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal).

* Guard: Moves one square diagonally.

* Minister: Moves two squares diagonally, jumping over an intervening piece.

* Horse: Moves in an "L" pattern - two squares in one direction and then one square perpendicularly.

* Elephant: Moves two squares diagonally, without jumping over intervening pieces.

* Rook: Moves any number of squares horizontally or vertically.

Capturing

When a piece lands on a square occupied by an opponent's piece, it captures that piece and removes it from the board. The king is the only piece that cannot be captured.

Special Rules

* Check: When the king is threatened with capture, the player must make a move to remove the threat.

* Checkmate: When the king is threatened with capture and there is no legal move to remove the threat, the game is over and the player in checkmate loses.

* Stalemate: When a player has no legal moves and is not in check, the game ends in a draw.

Strategy

Bete Tselot requires strategic thinking and planning. Players must protect their king while attacking their opponent's pieces. Controlling the center of the board and developing pieces early on are key to success.

Cultural Significance

Bete Tselot is deeply rooted in Ethiopian culture and is often played during holidays and festivals. It is a popular game among people of all ages and is often used to teach strategy and problem-solving skills.
