| 25 Sep 2001 | Excellent | Thanks to Seongmo Yoon, this page seems all right. I like Janggi especially due to its powerful pawns, and also for its complex use of cannons. I think initial position variance is one of the important features of Janggi, which differ from Xiangqi, so to get it right is very nice. (Horse-Elephant is usually defensive, while Elephant-Horse is offensive... So the rule gives choices for players.) I was also impressed by the statement, "one declares his pass by turning his General over, upside down, on the same spot." It reminded my surprise when I learned about the stalemate of Chess for the first time. Also I found the rule of Komi here - as this page said, I never heard of it before. And quite nice description of "Naked Facing Draw". It is a very significant rule in Janggi endgame, so it is important to know it and use it cleverly. All my thanks to this wonderful website! |

But they are totally different two games. Jang and Sho literally mean General or, even, King. Janggi (jangki) in Korea is very similar to Xiangqi (Chinese chess) with some important variations. Xiang of Xiangqi literally means elepant of Korean Chess and Chinese Chess. For janggi : http://members.tripod.lycos.co.kr/JanggiDosa/ (You can download a demo version of One dan level commercial version) http://www1.mgame.com/netjanggi (It has 3,000 loggin players. It is all in Korean and foreigners cannot register here) http://www.neojanggi.co.kr (It is all in Korean and foreigners cannot register here) For xiangqi : xiangqi.com www.icompile.com/xiangqi xiangqi.8m.com (I did not check if these Xiangqi sites still work) Good luck. |
