Application Description

Khmer Traditional Board Game

The first type of Khmer chess game is known to the Cambodians as Ouk Chaktrang (អុកចត្រង្គ). The name “Ouk” is believed to originate from the sound produced when a chess piece moves on the board during a check. In terms of terminology and rules, “Ouk” means check, and it is customary for the player to announce it loudly when checking the opponent's King.

The game is also referred to as “Chaktrang,” a formal name derived from the Indian Sanskrit term Chaturanga (चतुरङ्ग). Similar to international chess, Ouk Chaktrang is played between two individuals, but in Cambodia, it often involves two teams, which adds an extra layer of excitement and entertainment. Cambodian men frequently gather to play at local barbershops or men's cafes in their towns or villages.

The objective of Chaktrang is to checkmate the opponent’s King. The decision on who moves first is typically an agreement between the players at the start of the game. However, in subsequent games, the loser traditionally has the privilege of making the first move. If the initial game ends in a draw, the decision on who moves first is once again determined by mutual agreement.

The second type of Cambodian chess game is Rek. For more information, please see the Rek game as well.
