Right, in banking, TFR stands for Telegraphic Transfer.

It's essentially an electronic method of sending money abroad. You might know it better as a 'wire transfer' or a 'SWIFT transfer'. The name is a bit old-fashioned, a throwback to when transfer messages were sent by telex.

Nowadays, it’s all done securely through the SWIFT network. So, when you ask your bank to send funds to an account in another country, you are instructing them to perform a Telegraphic Transfer. It’s a very common and reliable method for most international payments.

You won't find a wazir in your normal chess set, mate. So don't stress that you've been missing a secret rule or something.

The wazir is what's called a 'fairy chess' piece. Fairy chess is just a name for chess variants. These games use different rules, different boards, or pieces that aren't standard. It’s for people who want to try something new.

The wazir’s move is dead simple. It moves one square forward, backward, left, or right. That’s it. You can think of it like a rook, but it’s only allowed to move one single step. Another way to think about it is that it has the same move as a king, but without the ability to go diagonally.

Because it can only move one square at a time, it’s not a very powerful piece on its own. I reckon it's one of the weakest pieces out there. It's probably worth about the same as a pawn, maybe a tiny bit more because it can move backwards.

You mainly see the wazir in special chess puzzles. People who create these problems love using strange pieces like the wazir to make really tricky situations. You might also find it in some very old historical versions of chess from places like Persia.

So yeah, it’s not a piece you use in a regular game, just a special one for different kinds of chess fun. Hope that clears it up for you.
