King. Royal piece moving one in arbitrary direction.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

My family has just moved to china, and my son and I are learning Xiangqi.
We have a question about a move his classmates are using regarding the
kings on open file.  If there is a peice between the two kings, and that
piece is moved, the other player is immediatly capturing the other king
to
win the game.  My interpetation is that this is an illegal move, like
putting yourself into check.  Are the kids (high school level) just
playing with house rules or is this a special scenario?
