Xiangqi

Chinese Chess board game against a computer opponent. To win you need to capture the general of your opponent.

Move your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The Commander can only step one square at a time within the palace. Mandarins can only move diagonal moves within the palace. Ministers move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot jump over pieces. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Rooks move any number of squares straight, serving as powerful attackers. Cannons move like chariots but must require a screen piece to capture exactly one piece. Pawns 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 outmaneuver the computer opponent.
