Xiangqi

How to Play

Place your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The General can only move one square at a time within the nine-pointed star. Advisors can only move diagonal moves within the palace. Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot cross the river. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, making them powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Soldiers move forward one square and gain new movement after crossing the river. Take the opponent's general to win the game. Think ahead your moves carefully to defeat the computer opponent.
