About the game

Korean chess is similar to Chinese chess (Xiangqi) and can be played with the same board and pieces, but the board and pieces actually used are different in appearance, and there are significant differences in the rules. For example, the chariot and cannon can both move diagonally within the fortress, and during setup the horse and elephant can be transposed. Moreover, Cannon cannot move over another cannon and also cannot kill another cannon.
