Doesn’t look like any game of chess I’ve seen. Maybe the King goes on the “square” marked 1, the Queen on 2, the bishops on 3, the knights on 4 and the rooks on 5, with 6 being the pawns? Variants such as this (if it is in fact a chess-board) are sometimes called Fairy Chess. Let me know if you try this! |
