A heavy antique
chessboard made from teak wood and with
64 squares,
though
without
alternating colours, while the
chessmen
are lacquered in green and red.
It originally
comes from
Myanmar, and
can be used for
both international chess (fig.) and its local variant, known as
Thai chess and in
Myanmar
as
sittuyin. In Thai, both varieties are referred to as
mahk ruk.
