Raja is a Malay word which comes from the Sanskrit Raja and having the same meaning of King or Monarch. Catur is also a Malay word which originates from the Sanskrit Catur or Caturanga which is the ancient form of the princely game of chess. My moniker Rajacatur harks back to my younger days when I used to play chess seriously and travelled all over Malaysia, UK and the world playing for the national, company and university team. (Black is OK!).
