26. September 2005, 14:15:42 Subject: Re:  Fwiffo: the kings are different sizes and characters. 17. September 2005, 06:14:23 Subject: Re: Fencer: well, they are common in Hong Kong, Taiwan, korea, singapore. But not in mainland China. However, traditional characters are almost exclusively used for chess sets, mostly for stylistic reasons 16. September 2005, 17:35:21 but from what I read, many people suggested text sets. Where did you get these? 16. September 2005, 17:12:25 Subject: Re: Chinese pieces Modified by redsales (16. September 2005, 17:12:57) Fencer: yes, basically correct. Two minor things, the kings, horses, chariots are simplified rather than traditional characters. Stylistically, it doesn't look as good and, as far as I know, no sets are produced with the simplified ones. But they are correct.
Also, at the top of the selection page, it says shogi rather than xiangqi. 24. August 2005, 14:05:39 Subject: Re: Fencer ughaibu: it's not the one on zillions, is it? 20. August 2005, 17:15:57 Subject: Re: Chinese chess pieces jian: i suppose whatever fits your pieces the best? 20. August 2005, 16:57:46 Subject: Re: Chinese chess pieces jian: yes, we would need use our imagination for the river! most OTC 象棋 sets have paper boards anyway, easy to make. I don't understand what you mean by dimensions? 您是中国人吗& #65311; 20. August 2005, 15:15:31 Subject: Re: Chinese chess pieces Caissus: the chessboards, of course, are different, but if you know the lines for the 士and the river, you can do it. 18. August 2005, 04:55:40 Subject: Re: Fwiffo: good point about the cannon/horse. Without pieces to jump over, the cannon suffers and the horse is blocked less. 16. August 2005, 19:34:16 Subject: Re: Facing kings... pauloaguia: definitely. 14. August 2005, 13:31:11 Subject: Re: a mate due to the together work of two cannons chessmec: nice game~! 13. August 2005, 16:05:09 Subject: Re: Pronunciation Spirou: i have the max # of FS now, so I can't start another. Anyone interested in the meantime should use this link for openers:

August 2005, 15:54:43 Subject: Re: Pronunciation Pedro Martínez: it's hard to differentiate from one recording...if you're really interested in Chinese I can get you started. 13. August 2005, 11:36:54 Subject: Re: Pronunciation Pedro Martínez: heheheheh! what a vivid picture..you can get the pronunciation here:
http://www.mandarintools.com/cgi-bin/wordlook.pl enter 'Chinese chess' and then click on the xiang and qi hyperlinks. 13. August 2005, 10:51:31 the cannon is worth less because it has capture conditions that the rook doesn't have. Of course, it is much better than a chariot in some cases! I would say a soldier having crossed the river is worth more than an advisor or elephant because it isn't constrained into path movement.
Also, NO WAY a horse is worth the same as a cannon. You can take a horse with a cannon straight off from the starting position, but it is a very bad move to do so. 13. August 2005, 09:44:18 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: it sounds like sheeang (but pronounced quickly as one syllable) chee
the "a" in sheeang sounds like the a in barber. Also, the first character is said from high to low, the second from low to high`/ 象棋 literally means elephant chess as opposed to Jungle, which is 兽斗棋 wild animals fighting chess. |
