    A pawn originally did not have the option of moving two squares on its first move, and promoted only to a queen upon reaching the eighth rank. The queen was originally the fers or farzin, which could move one square diagonally in any direction.

    In the Persian and Arabic game the bishop was a pīl (Persian) or fīl (Arabic) (meaning “elephant”) which moved two squares diagonally with jump

            It’s not just a problem with fascism, the fucking authlefts/tankies are picking up where the fascists are not found. There’s some lefty/regular turk communities and they’re kinda bananas.

            Gurbetçi olarak pek yazmıyorum, ama topluntu olsa bakmak isterdim. You living gurbet style too?

              Nope, still in Turkey. Hoping to gtfo of the oligarchy asap.

              People in this country don’t really like me so I kind of embraced foreign social media as a way of escaping reality. You may call it a “online gurbet” i guess.

              Life is better these days since I’ve gotten a really nice irl safe space of mostly Boğaziçi students.

              I hope the situation is better outside

                Ama goçum yol yabdı! Yollar nereye beyamca?

                I’m glad you are fitting in at university. The global economy is dogshit, so … yeah, gurbet doesn’t feel that much better, but to be honest, I’m doing ok. Better than in turkey under that fucker anyway.
