Chinese Chess, Xiangqi 2.7.1

Xiangqi, also known as Chinese chess, is a strategic board game designed for two players. It stands as a prominent board game in China, belonging to the same lineage as Western (or international) chess, chaturanga, shogi, Indian chess, and janggi. In Xiangqi, players engage in a battle between two armies with the primary aim of capturing the opponent's general (king). Notable aspects of Xiangqi include unique features like the cannon (pao) that necessitates jumping to capture, a regulation against direct confrontation of the generals, specialized regions on the board such as the river and palace which impose movement constraints on certain pieces while empowering others, and a distinct arrangement of pieces on the intersections of board lines rather than inside squares.
