How to Play?

The object of Xiangqi is to either checkmate or stalemate your opponent. Checkmate is the same in both games. In Xiangqi, the piece to checkmate is the opponent s General. You have checkmated your opponent when you have attacked his General (placed it in check), and he cannot eliminate the check with any move. Unlike Chess, where a stalemate counts as a draw, a stalemate in Xiangqi wins the game for the player delivering it. To avoid any confusion among Chess players who consider stalemate synonymous with draw, let me spell out the difference. Stalemate is when a player has no legal move. A draw is when a game ends in a tie. In Chess, stalemate is one condition in the game, among others, that leads to a draw. In Xiangqi, a player with no legal move loses.
