Aganju: Imagine the Knight taking an “L” path during the course of its movement, and taking the longer part of the “L” path first. When the first space it would move over is occupied, its movement in that direction is blocked.

Aganju: There would have to be a piece at F9 to prevent the Knight from taking the Rook.

So the point is that Chinese Chess players don't talk to each other. I should never talk to weaker players, and stronger players will never talk to me…

computeropponen: I had a plan there (knowing who I was playing against and what kind of mistakes my opponent is prone to make) and it worked…

computeropponen: Thank you so much for sharing this stunning piece of information with us…

computeropponen:

losing interest
time to say good bye

Bye.

kleineme: You don't need to refer to the Asian Rules. The BK rules clearly provide that:
“Perpetual chasing of an unprotected enemy piece is forbidden too. It means that a player cannot attack the same enemy piece (which is not protected by another enemy piece) moving to and from the same two points indefinitely. The player who causes such situation is obliged to break it off.”

redsales: OH, ok, thanks...but that doesn't sound like "sheeang" at all...rather something like "siah-tsji"...:)
Sorry, I'm obssessed with pronunciation...:)

redsales: thanks, redsales...I'd wish you could hear me saying it loud here...LOL

Can somebody please tell me how to prounounce this "Xiangqi"?
