सिपाही - Pawn is the piece of युद्ध - शतरंज series.

The series is a fusion of Ancient and Modern Chess in Indian art style, with every single pattern hand drawn.

Historically during wars, warriors would form phalanxes, advancing in lockstep. So the front row presented a barrier of shields locked together. They would all dress same with armours in their hands to prevent any opening for the enemies. Similarly in Chess, pawns support the purpose of shielding own army from opponent's and providing a safe frontier. The various formations of pawns decide the openings of other pieces of the army and the direction the game will proceed in.
