The World of Xiangqi - Chinese Chess

Xiangqi (Chinese: 象棋), also called Chinese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in China.

The game represents a battle between two armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's general (king). Distinctive features of xiangqi include the cannon (pao), which must jump to capture; a rule prohibiting the generals from facing each other directly; areas on the board called the river and palace, which restrict the movement of some pieces (but enhance that of others); and placement of the pieces on the intersections of the board lines, rather than within the squares.
