Great video! I was going to make a video on it but you beat me to it. Awesome job!

[roswellenigma]

Love how you said "western thinkers". Feudian slip much?

But seriously awesome video.

Thank you for the this video. I am a big fan of western chess and have always been curious about the Chinese version of the game.

Chinese Chess , aka Elephant Chess, or Xiang Qi. No queen in Xiang Qi, 5 foot soldiers instead of 8 pawns. The Persian word for Chariot is ruhk I believe (rook). Xiang qi also has the Chariot piece.
