About Xiangqi

How to Play

Place your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The King can only step one square at a time within the nine-pointed star. Mandarins can only move diagonal moves within the palace. Elephants 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, acting as powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must capture by hopping over exactly one piece. Soldiers 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 checkmate the computer opponent.
