Play chess online for freeXiangqi is an ancient and strategic board game. The following is a detailed introduction to offline Xiangqi:
##1. The composition and rules of Chinese chess
###(1) Chess board and chess pieces
1. ** Chessboard **
- The chessboard had 9x10 = 90 intersection points formed by the intersection of horizontal and vertical lines. These intersection points were the places where the chess pieces could be placed.
2. ** Chess piece **
- ** Commander (General)**: The head of the chess game, the target of both sides. They could only move within the Nine Palaces. Each time they moved a square according to the vertical or horizontal line, and the commander and the general could not be directly opposite each other in the same straight line. Otherwise, they would lose.
- ** Shi (Shi)**: It is the personal bodyguard of the general (marshal). It can only walk along the four slanted lines in the Nine Palaces.
- [Phase (Image): Mainly used to defend the commander (general) of one's side.] The method of walking was to walk two squares diagonally at a time (like flying fields). The range of activity was limited to the position of the side within the river boundary. It was not allowed to cross the river, and when there were chess pieces in the middle of the field, it was not allowed to walk (blocking the elephant's eye).
- [Chariot]: It is the most powerful in Chinese chess. It can move on both horizontal and vertical lines. As long as there are no chess pieces blocking it, the number of steps is not limited. One chariot can control 17 points (one chariot has ten chess pieces).
- [Cannon]: When not taking a piece, the movement is the same as the chariot; when taking a piece, there must be a piece between the opponent's and your own pieces (regardless of the opponent's or your own piece). It is the only type of chess that can be crossed.
- ** Horse **: The way to move is to walk diagonally. First, walk horizontally or straight for one square, then walk diagonally (Horse Walk Day). If there are other chess pieces blocking the direction you want to go, you can't go (Horse Leg). You can choose eight points around you at one time (Eight Faces of Power).
- [Soldier (Pawn): Before crossing the river, you can only move forward step by step. After crossing the river, you can move left and right except for not retreating. However, you can only move one step at a time. Pawn crossing the river is equivalent to half a cart.]
###(2) Terminology
1. ** Nine Palaces **: An area formed by two slanted lines and the surrounding squares.
2. [General: One side kills the other side's general or commander to force the other side to respond.]
3. [Head Cannon]: It is a common strategy to fire a cannon at the middle road to threaten the enemy's nine palaces. Because the general and commander's actions are limited to the nine palaces, the control power is very strong. It is also called the middle cannon.
4. Screen Horse: Two horses were separated on both sides of the Nine Palaces, shaped like a "screen" to protect the capital.
5. [One-sided horse: One horse guards the middle pawn while the other horse jumps to the side. There is a difference between the left and right one-sided horse layout.]
6. Two horses: one jumped nine roads, the other jumped one road.
7. [Warrior Horn Cannon]: Any of the two points from the flat cannon to the nine palaces.
8. [Immortal Shows the Way]: The first party will raise an elephant shoulder weapon (left or right) to test the other party's response, just like throwing a stone to ask for directions.
###(3) Rules
1. ** Eat the seed **
- Usually, as long as there was an opponent's piece in the position that could be reached according to the rules of chess, the opponent's piece could be taken. However, the cannon was special. It required a piece in the middle (whether it was his own or the opponent's piece) to take the opponent's piece.
2. ** Dying and trapped **
- One side's chess piece attacked the opponent's general (commander) and wanted to eat it in the next step. It was called Zhao Jiang (referred to as Jiang). Zhao Jiang did not need to be declared. The player who is being played must immediately respond to the general, that is, use his own method to resolve the state of being played. He cannot ignore the general and move other chess pieces.
##2. An example of a chess strategy (Take the game in Resource 2 as an example)
1. ** Opening Strategy **
- In a certain game, there would be a certain routine for ten rounds, starting with a straight pawn or a horizontal pawn. For example, the red side's artillery patrol along the river has the meaning of reaching 18 places along the river, the black side's retreat is the right move; The red side's army uses artillery to take a taxi, and the black side's flat car eats soldiers, etc.
2. ** Midgame Game **
- The red team used their cannons to disrupt the black team's formation and then flew towards the float. There were many considerations for hiding the black car, such as taking three steps forward. When faced with the red team's cannon, the black horse could not hide (otherwise, the red team would attack the general), but the black team could crush the horse and eat the red team. The red team chose to advance to the sixth with the goal of getting the first move. At this time, the black team either dodged the cannon or came out to protect them.
- In the subsequent situation, the red side did not attack the horse but made up the game, and the black side changed its strategy in the state of many pieces. The red team entered the chariot to catch the horse, the black team jumped on the horse, the red team abandoned the chariot to cut the cannon, the black team entered the chariot to eat the chariot, and the red team retreated to eat the cannon. If the red team successfully attacked, the black team might collapse on the spot. Black had different ways to deal with it, such as filling six roads, filling four roads, or dismantling the cannon carriage, but they all faced the killing skills of the red team.
- In the change of Black's retreat to defend the soldiers, Red's cannon is pressing on the general, and Black should retreat one step behind the Red's chariot to prepare to shoot the soldiers. Black entered the vehicle to defend, while the Red Team raised their troops. Black claimed that it was a seasoned move, solving the worries of the Red Team's flat cannon. The Red Team can use the cannon to throw away the pawn and grab the cannon. After the Red Team withdraws the cannon, they can enter the chariot and draw the general. After the Black Team takes a step, the Red Team can use the cannon to hit the pawn general. The Black Team has different ways to remove the general, such as moving the pawn general, kidnapping the general, returning the pawn to remove the general, calling it a general, etc., but there are problems, such as losing the chariot or the general.
- When the Red Cannon General was in charge, the Black Cannon General would move forward, and the Red Cannon General would take a step back in preparation for a flatcar attack or lure the Black Cannon General to take the cannon. If the Black Cannon General abandoned the flatcar and cut the cannon to weaken the Red Cannon General's attack, the Red Cannon General would take another cannon attack after taking a taxi.
##3. The actual scene of playing chess offline (like the scene of playing chess on the roadside in Resource 6)
1. ** Swindle scenario **
- In some roadside stalls playing chess, there might be scams. The onlookers around the stall owner might have been hired by the stall owner. When there were people watching, the stall owner would cheer and attract passers-by to play chess. For example, a man in Guangdong saw someone easily beat the stall owner in front of him, so he went to play chess. In the end, he lost so badly that he was even confused about paying. In fact, the stall owner let the conman win to attract the passers-by, but it was very difficult for the passers-by to win against the stall owner. Even if a national chess master played, it was basically difficult to win against these conmen. At most, it would be a draw. Therefore, the passers-by often gave the stall owner money when they played.

What does it mean to win a prize?To win a prize meant to win the enthusiastic applause and praise of the audience on a certain occasion or performance. This word originated from the slang of the Peking opera industry,"encounter color." It meant that when a famous actor appeared on stage, he could win the applause of the audience before he even opened his mouth. In other industries and fields, winning a show was also used to describe someone or something that could win everyone's praise and cheers at the beginning of the show or performance. The meaning of this word could be extended to various fields such as economy, sports, entertainment, etc., but the core meaning was always to win the applause and support of the audience, audience, or audience at the beginning, indicating the arrival of good luck and success.
