Top ten forgotten chess pieces of history!
Welcome to the top 10 forgotten chess pieces of history!
Chess has had a long evolution, and the pieces that we are used to today did not just arrive fully formed as we know them.

9. Ferz / Advisor / Minister
8. Jester / Wazir / Schleich
7. The Man
6. Lion
5. Centaur / Princess / Archbishop
4. Unicornio
