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 move one square at a time within the fortress. Advisors are limited to diagonal moves within the palace. Ministers move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot jump over pieces. Horses 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. Pawns move forward one square and gain new movement after crossing the river. Capture the opponent's general to win the game. Think ahead your moves carefully to outmaneuver the computer opponent.
