user27250: Shad Yantra (pronounced as Skhad Yantra or Shad Yantra) is the 6 Principles of War according to scholars. What are all these principles and how significant are they in the game?

user27250: Shad Yantra is more or less mentioned by many Indian scholars in Ancient times, and their 6 principles are almost similar.
Dashpaad board (10×10) was designed in such a manner that Shad Yantra game can accomodate these 6 principles protocols.
Modern Chess has only Four principles with grossly incorrect moves.
One such verse in Samskrit language talks about Shad Yantra:
वश्याकर्षणयो रक्ता श्यामा स्तंभविरोधयोः।
निग्रहोच्चाटयोः कृष्णा श्वेता मोक्षपरोक्षयोः।।

Shad Yantra eloborates its basic principles in 6 categories:
    वश्य (Attracting)
    स्तंभ (Stopping)
    विरोध (Opposing)
    निग्रह (Killing/Ending)
    उच्चाटन (Warding off)
    मोक्ष / शान्ति (Peace)

Other writers have their own version.
