There's something you need to know about the Yoruba language, the amin ohun is more important than the lettering, reason being that a single word could direct several meanings.
E.g.

Șéèsì - (mi do do) - Chess
Șeesí - (re re mi ) - Chelsea

Not yet. I am will do that today. Though I am not in Lagos

Bad belle. E pain you.

Yoruba is the best language in Nigeria, argue with your keyboard

This is nice.... We need to speak the language the more instead of forming Educated... Blowing English grammar and seeing our own language as a taboo

Ayoo=Board Game
Shesi=Chess

Full Meaning= Chessboard Game

The pencil-work reflects a chapter of the Chess Of Nature - with the ultimate goal to celebrate the beauty of the indigenous Y'ooba language.

In sum, this multilingual artwork is a localized tutorial on how to play the game of Chess.

Great work! And that's what we Africans are supposed to replicate in our native languages in various field of study in order for the knowledge to make sense in our language. Now, a smart Yoruba boy or girl can learn the game of chess without having to speak English as a prerequisite.

But there's no need of explaining that king is Oba. Oba is Oba. Neither is there any need titling it in English. African languages have equal right as any other language in the world.

Don't get it twisted Yoruba doesn't have letter H. So the spelling is wrong. It is either Ṣ or S. Same with using K to pronounce some words. Like Ópọ̀ (it's much) where it's been spelt okpọ́ also Pẹ̀lẹ́(sorry) where it's been spelt as Kpele.

I wish I took my computer skills serious right from time. I wish to create games in Yoruba for my fellow Nigerians but not how to begin be ish.

So you don't know the nearest police station to report to but you ran here to Nairaland after two weeks?

Believe me, Chess is one of the simplest indoor games.
This is all you need to learn Chess within one hour...

There is also 'Castling' a move that allows the King to take more than one step at a time provided the king and the rook has not been moved from their initial position at all.

Another observation not covered here is called en passant.
This is a special rule that gives pawns the option to capture a pawn which had just passed it by taking the first 2 step at the early stage of the game.

This is an example of en passant below
