What is "xiangqi"?

Xiangqi, also known as Chinese chess, is an ancient board game that has been played in China for centuries. It is similar to chess but has unique rules and pieces. The game is played on a board with a grid of nine columns and ten rows, separated by a river in the middle that limits the movement of certain pieces. Each player has seven types of pieces, such as generals, soldiers, chariots, horses, elephants, cannons, and advisors. The goal is to trap the opponent's general so it cannot move without being captured, similar to winning in chess. Pieces move in specific ways, requiring players to plan their moves carefully to attack and defend. The game encourages strategic thinking and is popular across China and other parts of Asia.
