Xiangqi

Xiangqi, also known as Chinese Chess, is a strategic board game played between two players. The game features a 9x10 grid with pieces representing generals, advisors, elephants, horses, chariots, cannons, and soldiers. Each player aims to checkmate the opponent’s general (similar to the king in Western chess). Moves are governed by specific rules based on each piece's abilities, with the objective to position and capture while defending one’s own general. The game emphasizes strategic planning, tactics, and foresight, blending cultural tradition with complex, elegant gameplay.
