Hi Chess folks,
as BrainKing provides the opportunity to test 37 chess variants, many of you might have done so. You probably developed a passion for some kind of variant other than International Chess. Or the other way: You became frustrated by not knowing the keys to chess variants (like e.g. Chinese Chess) and stick to the more familiar chess now.
Recently, an introduction to Chinese Chess was published which is addressed mainly to Chess players. You may find it helpful. Chess and Xiangqi are compared in more detail than just the way how to move pieces. Especially recommended for beginners.
See yourself:
Introduction to Chinese Chess (XiangQi) for Chess Players
Use the features of BrainKing and play!
I wish you some success and more fun.

georg21: good post !
Chess is more of a positional game than Xiangqi (Chinese chess).

An uncastled player should get a scoring and or rating bonus when they beat a castled player. Agree?

Is the past moves in a game important or do you look at only the current board state?

mctrivia:

I only look at the current position

from chessworld.net White(me) g3 h3 Rd4 Rb4 Qb8 Kg4. Black
g5 h6 Qa5 Kf6 Final game move was B8(Q) resignation immediately followed.

ketchuplover: I do not understand this notation. How can your Rook get to D4 in three moves?

Walter Montego: It's the position setup, not the moves.

rabbitoid: OK, rabbitoid. I finally got out a Chess set and put the pieces on the squares indicated. Thank you.

ketchuplover: Yes, that is an amazingly bad move, kethcuplover. Being two Rooks up and just two moves from a checkmate that your opponent cannot stop had to hurt. Oops! Ouch!!

Walter Montego:

Since then I have overlooked being mated in one move in two games
