About the book
Chinese chess, or 'elephant chess', has intrigued game lovers for centuries. Similar in form to its well-known Western cousin, the Chinese game requires players to master subtle and fascinating variations of strategy. H. T. Lau introduces Chinese chess to Westerners, discussing issues such as the board, the movement and values of the pieces, and basic rules for capturing and defeating an opponent with the aid of 170 diagrams.
First sentence: The chessboard has nine vertical lines and ten horizontal lines (Fig. 1).
