Where the Vizier stands next to the King, who is actually the Shah, because Allah so wills it.

Why would a woman even be on the board? She should be in the Shah's harem along with several other girls.

The piece that moves diagonally is the elephant (what's a "bishop"?). The piece that moves in an L-shape is the horse, not some kind of knightly crusader.

The more you know!


An actual Arab would say the horse moves in the shape of a shepherd's crook or something primitive like that. Also Arab TV stations make their own PSAs and they sure as hell don't have David Schwimmer in them. This was probably written by a white or Indian man with an axe to grind.
