Caissus, I am interested by this purchase me too.
Can you say to me if that set is sold the pieces alone or there is the board with?
If there is a board, which are external dimensions?
If there is no board, how will you proceed for you to get one of them?

Spirou: That's because you can't move the Knight. Moving it will mean the two Kings are on the same file, with no pieces between them. That's illegal in Xiangqi.

The horse is a close fighting piece, which means when it gets into the battle it can really influence the game. Also when there is one cannon remaining it loses a lot of its checkmating power, which is one thing that makes them so cool. Chessmec, that funny mate you talked about with the two cannons is legendary in China and is known as the "Double Pow". Pow stands for cannon, which I always thought was appropriate and funny.

again the same bug (no blue squares around the moving piece): http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=985036&i=9
In both cases it was a capture by the cannon.

Fwiffo: good point about the cannon/horse. Without pieces to jump over, the cannon suffers and the horse is blocked less.

I just noticed a minor bug: http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=984759&i=8 has no blue square around the piece that just moved.

< Chessmec> Yes, I like the cannon, very surprising piece. My only mate this far has been with two cannons behind each other on itsyourturn: deadly indeed! (I went there to play XiangQi - not necessary anymore :) )

I am very greatful XiangQi and Shogi can be played at brainking now.

Redsales: I'm an absolute beginner at XiangQi, but I read somewhere the horse is less valuable than the cannon in the opening but the cannon decreases in strength during the game...

In this game, if txaggie had moved her charriot from F3 to F0 would it have been checkmate?
According with my understanding of the rules it would have... but I'd like to know what you have to say about it (still learning this...)

the cannon is worth less because it has capture conditions that the rook doesn't have. Of course, it is much better than a chariot in some cases! I would say a soldier having crossed the river is worth more than an advisor or elephant because it isn't constrained into path movement.

Also, NO WAY a horse is worth the same as a cannon. You can take a horse with a cannon straight off from the starting position, but it is a very bad move to do so.

the "a" in sheeang sounds like the a in barber.

Also, the first character is said from high to low, the second from low to high`/

象棋 literally means elephant chess as opposed to Jungle, which is 兽斗棋 wild animals fighting chess.

A site for learning Xiangqi. It contains descriptions and many interactive examples of tactics. These consist of a java applet showing a board and a move list. You can move back and forth amongst the moves and follow the changes on the board.
