Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Chinese board game of Xiangqi, or Chinese Chess, has been played for over 1,000 years.

The book is heavily illustrated with pictographic chess board diagrams, similar to diagrams in international chess books. These picture pieces are easier to visualize than classical Xiangqi Chinese character piece labels. Excessive use of algebraic notation is avoided, making it easier to follow game annotations, and to evaluate positions. This Chinese chess book is an easier way for English speakers to learn this complex, baffling and counter-intuitive board game, that has a tactical language quite different from that of international chess. Various topics are covered: ● Xiangqi Rules ● Opening Game Theory ● Middle Game and End Game Tactics ● Beginning, Intermediate and Expert Strategies ● Fully Annotated Games with Play-by-play analysis ● Hundreds of Illustrations - An Actual Board is Not Needed to Follow Annotated games!
