chess-urefa was invented by muhyiddin-i arabic 1500 years ago. "the aim is to measure the paths added by the sufism demands and to reach the highest level. in sufism, the meaning of the word ""chess"" is expressed as ""sharia + order + truth + genius"". in urefa chess, the aim is ""to meet the beloved""." "the beloved here is naturally from the supreme creator. the highest rank of satranc-ı urefa is called ""visal""."
"these words, indicated by the arrow, are from cefâ to safâ, from fırsat to kuy-i cânân (the place of the lover), from love to sahra to cünûn (the desert of the contented), from azâr (my site, naz) to nazar (gaze), from tisyâr (setting out on a spiritual and material journey) to terehhüm (mercy), from ahlak-ı hamide (good morals) to cemâl, from sadakât to ferâh (peace of mind), from love-ı mecazî to love-ı hakikî, from vefa to esrâr (secrets), from mücahede (decision to cultivate the self) to muşâhede, from mahv (the person destroying his own self) to i̇zzet, from sabır to maksud, and most importantly, from muhabbet to visâl." The words marked by snakes are sohbet-i seg (falling and rising with unfriendly people), istiğnâ (not degrading to worldly goods), kin, hased, rival, ağyar (others than the beloved), mind, nifak, love, kemâl, celâl, kazâ, pride. If the players, who advance as many as the number they draw when the number is called, come to one of these words, they go to the snake's tail. "the tails of snakes are also on the words ""teessüf, recâ (wish), dûzah (trap, hell), mihnet, adavet, fight, nedamet (regret), ta'n-ı hulk (disgracing someone's character and behavior), zeval (exhaustion), hacâlet (shame), consent, zillet""." "for example, in chess, the player who lands on the word ""celâl"" immediately turns to the word ""hacâlet"" three steps below. there are two large snakes on both sides of the chessboard."
the snake's head on the right of them is in the word “proud”. "the player who reaches this square according to the number drawn in the lottery returns to the ""jail"" at the beginning of the game, that is, to the beginning of the game."
