1200 YEARS in the making!

In this video, I take you through an ancient chess endgame from Abu Na-am and Rabrab, two shatranj masters.
The game itself has long been forgotten, but the ending survives.

Rabrab has the winning position, but what is the next move?
And how does the solution differ from the modern game?

Here are some of my previous videos, featuring Al-Suli playing full games from the 920s:
