How to play
- Red moves first. Pieces stand on the points where lines cross.
- Each side's general and advisors stay inside their palace (the 3×3 box with the cross).
- Horses move one point straight then one diagonally, but can be blocked; elephants can't cross the river.
- Cannons move like chariots but capture by jumping exactly one piece.
- Checkmate the enemy general, or leave it with no legal move, to win. The two generals may never face each other on an open file.
