How did anyone miss this?

>Chess (India)
>Four major pieces (four castes)
>Each piece is different (each caste is assigned a duty)
>Pawns are expendable (Dalits?)
>After pawns reach the end they can reincarnate as a higher caste
>Goal is to kill the King

Go
>All pieces are functionally identical
>Goal is to capture more territory not go after a certain piece

Educational and historical focus tends to be on rules and tactics, not philosophical origins.
