wow you know 李来群
h2 to h3 cannon to do the solve or counter the soldier opening
Finally a video that just goes over what an opening is, and what can be played from there. It's very difficult to learn xiangqi in English because of this.
But yeah, very nice. Very cool. Thanks.
Thanks – I for one would also find it useful to know the Chinese for terms like 'flying elephant'
Sam Sloan in his book refers to a set-up for black known as 'Fan Gong Ma.' Does this feature in this video?
Nice intro, thanks!
Well done
Good job👍 Excellent ❤️
wow this is a really great video
how is stalemate created? because if no one wins we all win
Western-style piece images. Give me a break! If you couldn't be bothered to learn a few Chinese characters, just go back to chess, would you?
Extremely underrated channel!
The video is good for players with some knowledge in international chess, especially the notations of moves
nice video , hey guys who know an android app for xiangqi but with european theme
Great. Thanks. Can't wait to dive deeper into this game 🙂 谢谢你们！
if you don't explain the meaning behind the moves, this is kind of pointless except as an exercise for the viewer to try to figure out the meanings. However, that might be out of reach of a beginner…..
What's stopping a player from attacking the opponent's horse with either cannon on the first turn besides the obvious response with a chariot?
