Watch some Kurosawa films; especially Throne of Blood and Kagemusha. They feature realisting feudal Japanese battles which prominently show the Shogun's role in a battle where he would sit on a special seat and delegate orders, which would then be shouted as appropriate by his retainers in order to co-ordinate the army mid-battle.
Chess theme aside, he's gone from essentially a squire, to a knight, to a king, with parallels to Japanese warriors at the same time. I absolutely abhor Scarlet & Violet, but this, THIS is the ONE thing that they did well.
