this game is awesome! Not so weird as regular chess. It actually makes sense (the king is in a palace, there is a river in the middle of the two armies, there is no ultra powerful QUEEN...) I love chess but Xiangqi is so much more poetic in my opinion. Awesome game!
I live in Zhangye (teaching English) so I enjoyed the video. I've always liked the sight of the old men playing chess on the street, though I've never learned or taken part in it.
i wonder how many years has the set been used

My hometown is in Zhangye and this scene is quite common there. I used to spent weekend afternoons watching people playing Chinese Chess on a street.

I have a chess set, but I always play in my room.
