Affiliated with our project, we have set up a new community of enthusiasts and education leaders for historic mind and board games. The website for this community is www.shatranj.international
We are also in the process of forming a new non-profit association for this community to organize our efforts in promoting historic mind and board games and their intersection with AI education.
Our Mission:
At SHATRANJ INTERNATIONAL, we celebrate and promote shatranj, the ancient form of chess; chess synonyms across cultures such as satranç, šah, and ajedrez; historical chess variants, and other historical mind and board games. We are committed to preserving these games as humanity’s common intellectual and cultural heritage.
To prevent cultural appropriation and protect the universality of these games, in particular chess, we exclusively use culturally inclusive and pluralist chess sets and icon designs.
We use the names SHATRANJ INTERNATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL SHATRANJ FEDERATION to denote our community of organizations and enthusiasts.
What We Do:
Collaborative Projects:
We bring together a network of organizations, enthusiasts, and experts to collaborate on various innovative projects. Our focus includes not only Shatranj but also a wide array of other historical board games.
Currently, we are collaborating on an EU-funded Erasmus+ KA2 project (shatranj.ai) to build an artificial intelligence curriculum based on historic board games for youth development. If your organization or yourself would like to join our existing and future projects, please reach out to us with your interest so we can get back to you.
Educational Initiatives:
Our educational programs and resources are designed to inspire new generations to engage with Shatranj and other historical games, appreciating their strategic depth and cultural value.
These games are most popular at young ages when the speed of children’s cognitive development is highest. We actively prepare curricula and content and advise teachers and school systems to promote these games for maximum educational benefit.
Promoting Historical Mind and Board Games: Through events, tournaments, publications, and online resources, we aim to raise awareness of the rich history and cultural significance of these games.
Integration With Modern Technology and Artificial Intelligence:
We are at the forefront of integrating these timeless games with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, offering a unique blend of tradition and technology.
Global Community: We strive to build a vibrant, global community of players, scholars, and enthusiasts who share our passion for these historical games.
Join Us:
Whether you are a seasoned player, a history buff, or simply curious about the world of historical board games, SHATRANJ INTERNATIONAL welcomes you. Join our community to explore, learn, and contribute to the rich legacy of Shatranj and its counterparts.
Together, let’s embark on a journey through time, strategy, and innovation.
