Xiangqi

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

Place your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The General can only step one square at a time within the palace. Guards are limited to diagonal moves within the palace. Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot cross the river. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, if not impeded by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, making them powerful attackers. Cannons move like chariots but must capture by hopping over exactly one piece. Soldiers move forward one square and gain new movement after crossing the river. Capture the opponent's general to win the game. Plan your moves carefully to defeat the computer opponent.
