SHINWARI , a See also:Durani Afghan tribe occupying the See also:northern slopes of the Safed Kob below See also:Jalalabad. One See also:clan, the See also:Ali Sher Khel, fall within the See also:British See also:sphere in the See also:North-See also:West Frontier See also:Province of See also:India. They live on the Loargai border of See also:Peshawar See also:district, and number some 3000 fighting men. The remaining three clans are Afghan subjects.
SHIO-GHI, the See also:Japanese See also:game of See also:chess. Like Go-See also:bang, the game of the See also:middle classes, and Sugorochu (See also:double-six), that of the See also:common See also:people, it was introduced from See also:China many centuries ago and is still popular with the educated classes. It is played on a See also:board divided into 81 squares, nine on a See also:side, with 20 pieces on each side, arranged on the three ,See also:outer rows. The pieces, which are See also:flat and See also:punt-shaped with the smaller end towards the front, represent, by means of different See also:inscriptions, the 0, or Sho, See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
King-See also:General, with whose checkmate the game ends, his two See also:chief See also:aids, the See also:Kin and Ghin, See also:Gold and See also:Silver Generals (two of each), Ka-Ma, See also:horse or See also:knight (two), Yari, spearman (two), one Hisha, or flying See also:chariot (See also:rook), one Kaku (See also:bishop), and nine Hio or Fu, soldiers or pawns. All these pieces, like those in chess, possess different functions. The chief difference between chess and Shio-ghi is that in the Japanese game a piece does not cease to be a See also:factor in the game when it is captured by the opponent, but may be returned by him to the board at any See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time as a reserve; and, secondly, all pieces, except the King and Gold General, are promoted to higher See also:powers upon entering the last three rows of the enemy's territory. This possibility of utilizing captured forces against their former masters and the altering values of the different men render shio-ghi a very difficult and complicated game.
