Application Description

As a two-player adversarial game of wisdom with a history spanning over 3,000 years, Chinese chess offers a perfect balance of moderate complexity and accessibility. Its fundamental rules are straightforward and easy to grasp, making it an engaging pastime for players of all ages. Over centuries, the design of the chessboard and pieces has evolved under the profound influence of traditional Chinese culture, resulting in the refined version we enjoy today. The strategic interplay of offense and defense, the blending of feints and real moves, and the coordination between individual pieces and overall tactics create a deeply immersive experience that captivates players with its depth and elegance.

How to Play Chinese Chess: Basic Rules

To master the game, keep these essential principles in mind:

The General must remain within the Nine Palaces, and the Advisors never leave their posts.
The Elephants move diagonally across the four corners of the Sifang Camp, while the Horses advance with sharp, unpredictable leaps.
The Cannons strike by jumping over intervening pieces, delivering powerful attacks along straight lines.
The Chariots race freely along ranks and files, dominating open paths from east to west and north to south.
Pawns advance one step at a time, but once they cross the river, they gain the ability to move sideways, becoming more versatile in the endgame.
