About Xiangqi

Chinese Chess board game against a computer opponent. To win you need to capture the general of your opponent.

How to Play

Move your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The General can only move one square at a time within the palace. Mandarins must stay within diagonal moves within the palace. Elephants move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot jump over pieces. Horses move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Rooks move any number of squares straight, acting as powerful attackers. Cannons move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Pawns move forward one square and capture diagonally after crossing the river. Remove the opponent's general to win the game. Think ahead your moves carefully to checkmate the computer opponent.
