Xiangqi

Chinese Chess board game against a computer opponent. To win you need to capture the general of your opponent.

Place your pieces according to their individual movement rules. The Commander can only travel one square at a time within the palace. Guards are limited to diagonal moves within the palace. Ministers move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot jump over pieces. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, but can be blocked by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, making them powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must require a screen piece to capture exactly one piece. Pawns move forward one square and attack sideways after crossing the river. Remove the opponent's general to win the game. Strategize your moves carefully to checkmate the computer opponent.
