| | Xiangqi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This is not the case in xiangqi; in xiangqi, the player who has no legal moves loses the game. | | | In a manner similar to the game go, the pieces are played on the intersections, which are known as points. | | | In Western chess, if a player's king is not in check and the player has no legal moves available, the game ends in stalemate and a draw. |

| | Xiangqi at opensource encyclopedia |
| | Xiangqi (Chinese: &;; pinyin: xiàngqí), also called Chinese chess (as opposed to Western chess) or elephant chess, is a game that is played on a board that is 9 lines wide by 10 lines long. | | | Xiangqi is similar to shogi and chess and shares a common ancestor with those two games. | | | Xiangqi plays faster than Western chess, because the barrier of pawns is reduced dramatically, and also because the Cannons (see below) jump to capture, which makes them a threat early in the game. |

| | Chinese chess is the word English-speaking people use to refer to this game, not Xiangqi. | | | Following Go with Template:Game of Go position and chess with Template:Chess diagram, I have made a template for Xiangqi. | | | Probably "Xiangqi tournaments and leagues" (as it's a Chinese game, "international" would mean "outside of China" rather than "outside of the U.S." anyway). |

| | Most of us are not professional players of XiangQi. | | | XiangQi pieces move in a different way, the rules on the board are different. | | | Consequence: When one is accustomed to playing a game with a higher maneuverability ratio, one has an advantage in playing a game with a lower manoeuvrability ratio. |

| | Like Liubo, the modern Xiangqi consists of one general and five pawns, and the game is decided by the capturing of the general. | | | There are two possible reasons why Xiangqi is called the Elephant Game (with Xiang meaning elephant and Qi meaning chess). | | | Moreover, the horse moves diagonally, the wagon moves forward and backward, the pawn moves one step at a time, and the general is free to move all over the board. |
