Aganju: Imagine the Knight taking an “L” path during the course of its movement, and taking the longer part of the “L” path first. When the first space it would move over is occupied, its movement in that direction is blocked.
So the point is that Chinese Chess players don't talk to each other. I should never talk to weaker players, and stronger players will never talk to me…

kleineme: You don't need to refer to the Asian Rules. The BK rules clearly provide that: “Perpetual chasing of an unprotected enemy piece is forbidden too. It means that a player cannot attack the same enemy piece (which is not protected by another enemy piece) moving to and from the same two points indefinitely. The player who causes such situation is obliged to break it off.”
redsales: OH, ok, thanks...but that doesn't sound like "sheeang" at all...rather something like "siah-tsji"...:)
Sorry, I'm obssessed with pronunciation...:)
