Xiangqi: Chinese chess, duel
About game
The game is played on a rectangular board of 9 by 10 lines. The shapes are set at the intersections of the lines. There is a river between the two central horizontal lines, which affects the movement of pawns, knights and bishops. The two areas marked by two diagonal lines of 3-by-3 squares are called palaces. Kings and advisors cannot leave these squares. The first move is made by the red pieces.
The game can be played with artificial intelligence, together with another person on the same device, or with a rival online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other players' games, act as a spectator, and offer your own version of the player's next move by making it on the board.
How to play
Shapes: - The king can only walk one point horizontally or vertically within his palace. - The Advisor can only move 1 point diagonally in 1 turn within the palace. - The bishop moves diagonally by two points. - The cannon moves like a chess rook. - The chariot moves to any number of available points vertically or horizontally. - The knight moves to one point vertically or horizontally, and then to a point diagonally. - The pawn moves one point ahead. End of the game: The player whose king has been given a check must defend himself against the check in return. If there is no protection from a check, it is a checkmate and a loss. A stalemate is also a loss — the player's lack of legal moves. The player who repeats the move three times loses.Game info
