[edit] Original research?

I can't find in internet any mention about this chess variant. I wonder what sources were used to write it. Is this a game invented by the original author of the article, i.e. an original research? Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 14:12, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, but the claim that "chess in Africa predates chess in other parts of the world" is incorrect, so the article has problems. Deletion may be in order. Quale (talk) 19:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I finally found a game, which has similar rules as described here, Senterej, the Ethiopian Chess. I will rename the article and remove incorrect information. Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 21:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

The paragraph about draws sounds POV to me. Bubba73 (talk), 21:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree, and it seems to have been written by an editor with a record of African OR and POV. I'll remove it. Tameamseo (talk) 23:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
