Fwiffo: no, i don't play Go. i also play chess, but i am just a beginner with little experience in chess. All i know about chinese chess i use it to play chess. i think the fundamental principle to play the game is the same. there are some difference between, for example; the board size is not the same, chess is played on a 8x8 board with 8 pawns lined up in front, the most important piese is the Queen and the pawn, chinese chess with 9x10 board w only 5 pawns, the rook is the most important one. As to Go, this is the most difficult game to play with a 19x19 board. i will compare thses 3 type of game as A B and C. A is the highest in the category.
