Chess is a modern version of an ancient Indian game called Shatranj. The earliest record of Shatranj is found in a Persian work called Karnamak-i-Artakhshatr-i-Papakan written in about A.D. 600. The present-day form of chess is a little over 100 years old: according to Hooper and Whyld's `The Oxford Companion to Chess`, en passant capture was universally adopted in 1880, although the initial double step for pawns dates from about the 13th century. The most important changes from Shatranj to Chess, expanded moves for the queen and bishop, date from about 1475. Castling began sometime in the 16th century, but there were many variants of king and rook placement until the modern standard was established.

The Kingsmen variant was invented to give a more symmetrical arrangement of the pieces. The addition of two bishops per side on a 9x9 board means that each player has a pair of light-squares and dark-squares bishops. The asymmetrical all-powerful Queen is a constant subject of the critique on chess, and has been removed from this variant.
Instead, each piece promotes to a crowned piece where it gains the King's moveset upon reaching the last three ranks.
