Thanks for attention, Charles. Daniel expresses interesting opinions here. Daniel has missed prior topics showing USA, Canadian, UK, and French chess patents back to 1870's. Scrabble and Monopoly are originally patented. Verbosity like ''insult to rich history of Chess'' is so much uninformed babble. Precedents for Falcon include, besides this Changgi, Gala (13th Century), Novo Chess (1930's), problem piece Bison (1970's). There are two Camel-Bison-Knight compounds in 'ECV', one of course Maus' Cavalry Chess(1920's). There are about 6 and about 15 respectively of Knight-Zebra and Knight-Camel. All these I (hey the team WE) made USA Patent & Trademark Office aware of: fortunately Pritchard's book had just come out. The clauses ''anyone can...'' or ''one can easily add...'' or words to that effect are commonly applied to Patents jealously later. Why be devoting minds to this if it has no merit? A great idea is obvious after the fact, as Jeremy Good defends the Falcon innovation. Please ask Fourriere or Carlos about game play with three-path Falcon.
This game (and several others) have the lame knight and lame zebra (here elephant). That is both pieces are incapable of moving to destination if path is blocked.
For the elephant, one can easily add more possible pathways to destination square for example two diagonal and one orthogonal outwards.
Even worse would be to compound a zebra and camel and adding multiple paths - nothing new of course - (anyone can do this!).
Combining the knight and elephant here - and adding alternate paths, one gets the Sliding Sorcerer Knight used in experimental sub-variation of Herculean Chess
As used in Korean Chess, the Elephant /Knight as used here make for excellent play.
Even worse would be to compound a zebra and camel and adding multiple paths - nothing new of course - (anyone can do this!).
Patenting an already existing idea is truly an insult to the rich history of chess, but it has been done by a few. Fortunately, the few patents for pieces ( not sure how many are out there but one comes to mind) , are for awkward pieces proposed with even more clumsy configurations.
The patent and its well deserved criticism of course do not apply to excellent single function pieces such as the Elephant and Knight used here nor to the interesting Ferz-Camel compound used in Omega Chess nor for that matter the fascinating Ferz/Wazir Sorcerers in Hadean and Herculean Chess.I 'd like to introduce a new Korean chess playing freeware for MS Windows XP. http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=a840713&logNo=30027088697# (in Korean) http://mfiles.naver.net/6bbc5e8692cba7113b5b/data28/2008/1/28/136/jang-a840713.exe (right-click & 'save as' to download ) (He used visual studio 2005) File- S : begin File-x : eXit Drag & Drop to move pieces Right-click : undo He is a computer science major in South Korea.

choose check two boxes with left buttons and
choose the right most button (the third one from left)
which doesn't require you to enter Korean
registration ID number.
http://www.hangame.co.jp in Japanese.
http://www.nhnusainc.com in English? Maybe.
Hello, nice site. I was just wondering of you knew of any places to play online, since I can't seem to access Korean game sites (they require some kind of Korean registration ID number that foreigners don't have). Let me know if you are aware of a place to play online. Thanks.

This is a good initiative as it is hard to obtain information about this game. Korean Chess is a game with greater strategical depth than Chinese Chess. The Korean Elephant is of particular interest. I implemented a strong Zillions version here. /Mats
I made a boring but informational film about Korean Chess. Americans who know how to play Chess might find it helpful, I plan on posting an example game soon. I hope someone finds this helpful.

According to Wurman ('Chinesisches Schach, Koreanisches Schach', 1991), Maynard ('Janggi Addenda', Abstract Games 15, Autumn 2003), and Pritchard (Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, 1994), a player can pass at any time, which means that rule 7c above is wrong.

netian went out of business while I did not pay attention to it. The game fils are not downloadable any longer.
Hi, I uploaded pro players' official games here. http://my.netian.com/~smyune/kbsjanggikwang.zip size : 33.4KB Han : upper side Cho : lower side and make the first move
oh this should be rated better than good!
http://my.netian.com/~smyune/bikjang.html Red Army moved its Horse (Knight) from 65 to 77. Now, there are no pieces between two Kings. (Naked Kings). Blue Army can declare 'bik' (=draw) by capturing Red Army King with its King. This rule applys even if the case is a checkmate.
If you use your horse to checkmate your opponent and your general faces the opponent's general, could it be a draw?
2005-07-11 Jeff None Hello, I am a Canadian who plays Changi 1-2 a week. I have been doing so for about a year and a half and simply love the game! I was wondering if there are any organized tournaments of Changi in Korea or in the States or Canada. Please email me at: [email protected] if you have any info! Cheers ------my reply from South Korea-------------------------------- http://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/jangy/index.html http://www.braintv.co.kr/main.asp http://janggi.hangame.com/
I believe it is really appropriate for the red army to be knbown as 'HAN' because, after all, we Chinese call ourselves 'HANREN' or 'HAN peoples' and we are communist. Therefore i believe the creator of this game had a prophetically correct choice in calling the Red Army 'HAN'. Also, the Chinese name for red Korea is 'HANGUO' or 'HAN(2) GUO(2)' THis means Han country (no relation to CHinese 'HAN'). I beleive therefore it is extremely appropriate to call the red army han because trhe name and color come out being symbollic!

In reference to Korean chess a.k.a. Changgi, I don't believe that you
mentioned the fact that for each player the common practice is on one
side,e.g.(red), that BOTH the knight and elephant on either the left or
right side but not both sides, are reversed and symmetrical to the center
(180 degree turn) and the other player (green) also reverses the knight
and elephant. There is no hard and fast rule on this but I suppose this
is
done so that the elephants don't get in each other's path when
attempting
to move them into play. It is quite common for players to sacrifice an
elephant for two soldiers (pawns).
<p>I play this game almost every week in the park in Elmhurst in the borough
of Queens (New York City). For those of you visiting NYC, it is adjacent
to the Elmhurst subway(train) station on the R,V, or G trains at the
Britton Ave end of the park as Chinese Chess is played at the 45th Avenue
side of the park. Most Sundays afternoons in the nice weather there are
one or two games of GO (a.k.a Baduk or Weiqi/Wei-Chi)in progress.
I am copying a comment made on a 'new' Korean Chess topic to this string: Good greeting to all the Korean chess lovers. I am a Korean-born Korean and an avid Korean chess player. I would like to post some useful information for those who wish to play and practice Korean chess on-line and off-line. There is a Korean Chess club in Yahoo! Korea Games. All you need is a Yahoo ID to log in. http://kr.games.yahoo.com/ http://kr.javagames.yahoo.com/games/login2.html?page=jg And I would like to introduce a great Korean Chess machine called 'JangGi Dosa', Dosa stands for a master or expert in Korean. Go to http://www.janggidosa.co.kr/ and download 'dosa.zip ÆÄÀÏÅ©±â 665 KB'. The rest is all yours. Any question or comments, e-mail at [email protected]
