i just started playing xiangqi. since i didn't want to buy a real board i made one myself. i don't confuse the pieces anymore and i know all of the rules. the only thing i have to do now, is all about strategy! ;)

thanks for the videos! i'll watch them when i have time!

@TheRealityJack hi TheRealityJack, for more xiangqi information and strategies,

i recommend srxqp's channel:

[the links are on my main channel page, comments section]

i think the checkmate methods are vital to success in xiangqi

i also recommend the website made by Jim from Taiwan

(he's another Jim, not myself)

[link also on my channel page]

there are tons of useful information about xiangqi on the website.

@hk92jimmy thank you very much! i managed to beat a very easy computer recently, but i doubt that my skills are enough to succeed against the normal one.

@TheRealityJack ah, the links that i mentioned are located at the comments section on the lower right side of my channel page.

the checkmate methods on srxqp's channel are the most crucial part of tactics in xiangqi, and i think comprehending and making use of those checkmates can really make a difference in games.

Any chess clubs in SG? :P

I recently discovered 象棋 while reading a book, as an avid chess player I quickly became engrossed in Xiangqi, and memorized the rules and pieces in two days, this is SUPER helpful as I cant make a good strategy on my own.
