Chinese chess, a two-player strategy game with a rich history spanning over 3,000 years, offers a compelling blend of accessibility and depth. Its fundamental rules are straightforward, yet the gameplay is surprisingly intricate. The board and pieces themselves reflect a long evolution shaped by traditional Chinese culture. The strategic interplay of offense and defense, the subtle dance of virtual and real threats, and the delicate balance of overall strategy and individual piece maneuvers create a captivating and endlessly engaging experience.

How to Play: Essential Rules

Keep these key rules in mind:

The General (King) remains confined within the nine-square palace.
The Advisor (Shi) never leaves its designated area.
The Elephant (Xiang) moves diagonally across two squares, always staying within its quadrant.
The Horse (Ma) moves in an "L" shape: one square horizontally or vertically, then one square perpendicularly.
The Cannon (Pao) must jump over one piece to capture another.
The Chariot (Ju) moves horizontally or vertically any number of squares.
Pawns (Bing) can only move forward one square at a time, except for crossing the river, where they can move one square diagonally.
