Xiangqi Chinese Chess Duel Game Description
The game is played on a rectangular board of 9 by 10 lines. The shapes are set at the intersections of the lines. There is a river between the two central horizontal lines, which affects the movement of pawns, knights and bishops. The two areas marked by two diagonal lines of 3-by-3 squares are called palaces. Kings and advisors cannot leave these squares. The first move is made by the red pieces.

- The bishop moves diagonally by two points. Can't jump over pieces. Can't cross the river.
