i play shogi and chess and this video makes me wanna learn xiangqi too 😭

U should explain how u can punish the opponent when they capture free soldier, why no one comment btw lol.

great insight for new players ❤

Qingyi Horse & Cannon

Xiangqi looks like so much fun. The way how the pieces are designed to move and interact with each other proposes a lot of interesting strategic opportunities as well as allows more personal skill expression. I would love to learn how to play

Thank you for the guide on how to play!

Why is the letter "K" used for general and not "G"?

But still you’re like 4 pawns down so….eh

Instructive video i was wondering like “hey isn’t it easy to attack this unprotected pawns” and yeah it is but it’s not good per se which is interesting.

I love cannon capture horse

It’s elephant game

lol its really simple, while black still has a move, move the horse to J2. if tower decide to take the horse you take the tower, run a check on the opponent. if opponent plan to take your tower, you then eat it with the horse. of course the opponent can go straight into checkmate. The key is to distract the opponent with the horse so the opponent forgot about the checkmate lol. Chess isnt only about the moves, its also about human psyhcology. learning to use the art of distraction and deception.

K

I'm favorable to adopting the algebraic notation

This notation is very impracticable. Xiangqi could benefit much from the algebraic notation. A suggestion for the video is to remove that puppet or show the person speaking.

Thank you very much😊

How can I record the diagonal moves in Xiangqi?

I have a question can you compare Xiangqi vs Janggi i am a bit confused about that if the flying generals rule apply in Janggi or not

Dfh

6:10 Is there a reason black doesn't instead sacrifice that horse to capture the middle cannon, or am I missing something? Cannon is more valuable than horse, right?

good analysis

Why don't you get the cannon to j9, so the advisor have to go up, then move the general to b5, so you can move the general to the right. Now, the enemy can't stop the pawn to j7 checkmate

Why is Karate written as 空手 empty hand as opposed to 唐手 Tang hand To hide the fact that Karate came from China, that is why.

Why is the logo of your website 相 = Minister and not 象 = Elephant As in 象棋 = Xiangqi = Elephant Game?

Thank for explained!

Excellent video, very educative and also very entertaining!

In West, there are many chess players, but few Xiangqi players, so if you play Xiangqi, you will be one of the best!

Nice endgame! Red plays a waiting move, and black is in Zugzwang. (Btw, is there a Chinese term for Zugzwang?)

Excellent video. All Xiangqi books I have are in the traditional notation system, I thought it was the only system used to record Xiangqi games.

Horse in Xiangqi is pretty strong, but if Knight was in Xiangqi, they would be stronger That means General is weaker than King

интересная партия

Awesome video! I love the in-depth analysis and this was such a tense game.

nice video

I choose rook

Please could you do subtitle for these channel? www.youtube.com/@caothucotuong88/videos www.youtube.com/@SiLangjiangqi/videos They're both really good and fun and entertaining and informative! But google translation is not really nice. I would love to watch videos like that as a foreigner! They love xiangqi we can feel it!

Thanks imma use this on my friends❤

I love your site. But I think it would be better if the pieces move as smoothly as it is in Lichess.

Oh. This is why flying General is applied. In story, when Xiang Yu has an enemy, Liu bang, he doesn’t want to get targeted by Liu bang.

Horse or knight is also a diagonal mover but he is both orthogonal and diagonal mover

Nice analysis. This game is awesome

Good analysis. Keep doing these. Amazing

Watching x 1.25 to 1.5x is much much more comfortable. haha

It would be awesome to have videos with original Chinese pieces. I suppose most people will prefer that.

Why use a puppet instead of showing the guy's face? That's quite strange. I think you could at least remove that puppet.

Wow. Coming from Western chess, I'm totally dyslexic on the material vs tempo difference in Xiangqi.

Joep Nabuurs is such a legend! Really cool that you have him as a special guest.

Is not checkmate

No way the best is sandwiched horse defence total +100%is better than screen horse

One is not better than the other. One is one and the other is another. What is considered a good rule is a bad rule in another. Stalemate, I think is a bad rule in Western chess. We should go back to the older rule that Chinese chess preserves. Perpetual check is a good rule. If you can perpetually harass someone, it is a draw. Example: Everybody who tried to conquer Afghanistan. You should play both so you can deal with both. There is a good and bad to everything, a Ying and a Yang side if you will.

You should play both Western chess and Chinese chess because they are both descendants of the common ancestor Chaturanga. They are brother and sister. To know one is to only know half.
