I can see potential of this channel, it’s fresh and approachable compare to others. As new player I’m glad there is channel like yours, please keep going. Subscribe!
Finally a video that just goes over what an opening is, and what can be played from there. It's very difficult to learn xiangqi in English because of this. But yeah, very nice. Very cool. Thanks.
Oh geez another video! I hit the bell to get notified when a new comes out and now I get notified when a new video comes out. This video, another banger. That thumbnail! Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just Top tier content all around 👍 🗿
Great question! The strength of the cannon and horse in xiangqi is influenced by the number of pieces on the board, as cannon needs for a mount to capture, while the horse can be blocked. Consequently, the cannon is stronger with more pieces on the board, and the horse is weaker. During the opening phase, where there are more pieces on the board, the cannon is more valuable than the horse. Conversely, in the endgame, the horse becomes more valuable. Therefore, it is not advisable to exchange your cannon for the opponent's horse in the opening.
The different piece moves and board setup take some getting used to. But once you immerse yourself in xiangqi for a bit, the logic starts to click. Keep at it, don't get discouraged, and have fun experimenting with new tactics. You'll get the hang of it before you know it! Xiangqi is a fantastic game that's worth learning.
if you don't explain the meaning behind the moves, this is kind of pointless except as an exercise for the viewer to try to figure out the meanings. However, that might be out of reach of a beginner.....
Please more videos! It's great to finally have Xiangqi in English
And also pictorial pieces. I always wanted this since 2013 so I could play more. It’s huge for increasing accessibility to this great game.

Nice
OMG!!! wow!! I gonna try the basic one xD central cannon; it sounds like central-rook in shogi hahahaahah xD
Best channel. Keep going. Here a Brazilian trying to learn a little and you making my life easier. Thank you.
Happy to hear that!
The video is good for players with some knowledge in international chess, especially the notations of moves
Thanks - I for one would also find it useful to know the Chinese for terms like 'flying elephant'
Elephant moves diagonally across 田 shape, so that the move of elephant is flying.
Extremely underrated channel!
Thanks!

This video is so lit.
What's stopping a player from attacking the opponent's horse with either cannon on the first turn besides the obvious response with a chariot?

I learn after prectice that get ride of you adviser. They block general's movies and only nights can check you, from diagonals.
Sam Sloan in his book refers to a set-up for black known as 'Fan Gong Ma.' Does this feature in this video?
Yes, in this video they call it opposite direction horse, variation 4 at 6:55
The most tricky Black's defence!
In China, a consecutive ten years national champion Hu Ronghua wrote a book on Fan (opposite) Gong (Palace) Ma (Horse)
Just found out about this cute game
wow you know 李来群

🇧🇷👍 *!!!*
Well done
how is stalemate created? because if no one wins we all win
the one who gets stalemated is counted as a loss in xiangqi, unlike chess.
trying to learn xiangqi strategy is hard when in Chess it's the exact opposite lol!

Thanks for your feedback!
Western-style piece images. Give me a break! If you couldn't be bothered to learn a few Chinese characters, just go back to chess, would you?
