Šah

[Mutevelija]

U pravilu ide vezir a ne kraljica ali mi smo poprimili zapadni način igranja šaha.

[Mutevelija]

Yes, in early versions of chess, the piece currently known as the "queen" was indeed called the "vizier" or "ferz". This piece had much more limited movement capabilities compared to the powerful queen we know today. The vizier evolved into the modern queen as chess spread to Europe and reflected the growing influence of queens in medieval society.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Early Chess:
In the earliest forms of chess, the piece that is now the queen was called the vizier (or ferz).
Limited Movement:
The vizier had much more restricted movement, typically able to move only one square diagonally.
European Transformation:
As chess moved to Europe, the vizier was transformed into the queen, reflecting the increased power and influence of queens in European medieval courts.
Symbolism:
This change also reflected the changing roles of women in power and the symbolism of strategy and influence.
Modern Chess:
In modern chess, the queen is the most powerful piece, able to move any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Name Persistence:
Even though the piece became the queen in many languages, some languages still use variations of the name "vizier" for the queen, such as in Russian (ferz) or Hungarian (vezér).
