Ouk-Khmer (also known as Cambodian Chess) is a chess variant which D. B. Pritchard claimed was played in Cambodia although its actual origins appear to be unknown.〔(The Cambodian Chess Riddle )〕 Pritchard gives the source as P. A. Hill. It combines elements of makruk and xiangqi. Like xiangqi, it is played on the intersections of an 8×8 monotone board. Contrary to Pritchard's claim, the actual variety of chess played in Cambodia today, known as "Ok"〔(Khmer Institute ) (If the link redirects to the main page of the Khmer Institute, click on the "culture" link, then the "Ok Cambodian chess" link)〕 or "Ouk Chatrang" is nearly identical to Makruk. The authenticity of the game described by Pritchard remains doubtful. ==Pieces== Jean-Louis Cazaux described the movement of the pieces as follows:〔 ;Boat :Analogous to the rook in Western chess, the boat slides any number of spaces in the orthogonal directions (i.e. left, right, up, down). ;King :As in Western chess, the king steps one space in any direction. ;Horse :As with the knight in Western chess, the horse leaps one orthogonal and then one diagonal in any direction. ;Elephant :The elephant moves as a king but cannot capture in the three backward directions. ;Official :Like the queen in shatranj, the official steps one space diagonally but can only capture in the two forward directions. ;Fish :Analogous to the pawn in Western chess, the fish steps one space orthogonally forwards until crossing the center line of the board, at which point it promotes and may move as a king. According to a description originating with John Gollon:〔 "the Fishes are irregular disks marked differently on either side so pieces which have crossed the center line and have been flipped can be distinguished." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ouk-Khmer (also known as Cambodian Chess) is a chess variant which D.
