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 specific movement rules. The Commander can only travel one square at a time within the nine-pointed star. Mandarins can only move diagonal moves within the palace. Ministers move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot move to the opponent's side. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, acting as powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Pawns move forward one square and attack sideways after crossing the river. Remove the opponent's general to win the game. Think ahead your moves carefully to defeat the computer opponent.
