About Xiangqi
Chinese Chess board game against a computer opponent. To win you need to capture the general of your opponent.
How to Play
Shift your pieces according to their individual movement rules. The General can only travel one square at a time within the palace. Advisors must stay within diagonal moves within the palace. Elephants move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot jump over pieces. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, making them powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Soldiers move forward one square and attack sideways after crossing the river. Take the opponent's general to win the game. Think ahead your moves carefully to outmaneuver the computer opponent.
