"The game of chess, which has been introduced from Arabia, [706] is played in almost precisely the same manner as among Europeans, but the queen, instead of being placed upon her own colour, is stationed at the right hand of the king. In the Malay game the king, if he has not been checked, can be castled, but over one space only, not over two, as in the English game. The king may, also, before he is checked or moved from his own square, move once, like a knight, either to left or right, and he may also, if he has not moved or been checked, move once over two vacant squares instead of one." The following are the names of the pieces:-- 1. Raja, the King. 2. Mentri ("Minister"), the Queen. 3. Têr or Tor, the Castle. 4. Gajah ("Elephant"), the Bishop. 5. Kuda ("Horse"), the Knight. 6. Bidak, the Pawns. [707] Main chongkak, again, is a game played with a board (papan chongkak) consisting of a boat-shaped block. In the top of this block (where the boat's deck would be) are sunk a double row of holes, the rows containing eight holes each, and two more holes are added, one at each end. Each of the eight holes (in both rows) is filled at starting with eight buah gorek (the buah gorek being the fruit of a common tree, also called kelichi in Malacca). There are usually two players who pick the buah gorek out of the holes in turn, and deposit them in the next hole according to certain fixed rules of numerical combination, a solitary buah gorek, wherever it is found, being put back and compelled to recommence its journey down the board. A similar game is, I believe, known in many parts of the East, and was formerly much played even by Malay slaves, who used to make the double row of holes in the ground when no board was obtainable. The Malay game of Draughts (main dam) is played, I believe, in exactly the same manner as the English game. Backgammon (main tabal), on the other hand, is played in two different ways. The "Tiger" Game (main rimau), or "Tiger and Goat" Game (main rimau kambing), is a game which has a distinct resemblance to our own "fox and goose," there being usually four tigers to a dozen of the goats. Cards "Cards are called Kertas sakopong. The Malays are fond of card games, but few Europeans have taken the trouble to understand or describe them. The late Sir W. E. Maxwell contributed the following description of daun tiga 'lei to the Notes and Queries of the Journal of the Straits Asiatic Society. It refers to the game in question as played in Perak:-- "Hearts, Lekoh. King, Raja. Diamonds, Retin. Queen, Bandahara Clubs, Kalalawar. Knave, Pekah. Spades, Sakopong. Ace, Sat. To shuffle, Kiyat, mengiyat. To deal, Membawa. To cut, Kerat. To sweep the board, make everyone pay, Mengelong.
