Application Description

Chinese chess, a two-player strategy game with over 3,000 years of history, strikes a perfect balance between challenge and accessibility. Its fundamental rules are straightforward and easy to grasp.

With a rich heritage spanning more than three millennia, Chinese chess is a game of intellect for two players, offering moderate complexity that is both engaging and easy to learn. The core rules are simple and intuitive. The design of the board and pieces has evolved over centuries, shaped by traditional Chinese culture, to become what it is today. During a match, the interplay of attack and defense, strategy and tactics, and the relationship between the whole board and its parts creates a captivating and addictive experience.

How to Play Chinese Chess: The Basic Rules

Keep these essential principles in mind:

- The General (King) must stay within the palace, and the Advisors (Guards) cannot leave its confines.

- The Elephants (Bishops) move diagonally across their own territory, while the Horses (Knights) execute sharp, angled steps.

- The Cannons require a screen to capture, moving like a Chariot (Rook) but attacking by hopping over a single piece.

- The Pawns move one step forward, and upon crossing the river, they gain the ability to move horizontally as well.
