Chinese Strategy Board Game: "Xiangqi"

Xiangqi is a two-player Chinese board game in the same family as Western chess, chaturanga, shogi and janggi. It is the most popular board game in China. The literal translation of Xiangqi is "Elephant chess." The game is also popular in Vietnam, where it is named "Co Tuong", translated as "general chess."

The game represents a battle between two armies. The board is described in military terms, with files and ranks designating the vertical and horizontal lines. Pieces are played at the intersections of the files and ranks. The "River" divides the board. On each side of the board is an area, demarcated by two diagonal lines, referred to as a palace. Each player controls 16 pieces, flat circular disks engraved with a Chinese character identifying the piece type. The most important piece is, of course, the general. Other pieces include advisors, elephants, horses, chariots, cannons and soldiers.

The objective of the game is to checkmate the opponent's general.
