About Xiangqi

How to Play
Place your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The King can only move one square at a time within the fortress. Guards must stay within diagonal moves within the palace. Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot cross the river. Horses move one square straight and then one square diagonally, but can be blocked by adjacent pieces. Rooks move any number of squares straight, making them powerful attackers. Cannons move like chariots but must capture by hopping over exactly one piece. Pawns move forward one square and capture diagonally after crossing the river. Take the opponent's general to win the game. Plan your moves carefully to outmaneuver the computer opponent.
