My Zillions implementation of Chinese Chess plays a good game, it also has Western style pieces as an option: http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/chinesechess.htm Mats

Play Xiangqi section misses http://www.kurnik.org (one of the few places where you can play this game against other people with non-Chinese user interface)
In reading the page on chinese chess which I delight in playing I observed that you attribute different two chinese language titles to the game. Actually there is only the one in so much as the Mandarin written title is the only chinese title and the Cantonese pronunciation (Cantonese is not a written language - except in bastardised script based on sound) the game is known as Jeung Kei (Jeunhg Kay, as you have it) which to put it another way is written by the Cantonese speaker in the same character form as that in Mandarin (the only true written language).
Hope this is of assistance should you consider any revision of text.
I enjoyed your site and the variant described.
One small suggestion would be a mention of Gabriel's totally different offering as Chinese Chess. As someone might pick it up in a thrift store, and find they'd made a mistake based on your excellent description, a warning seems considerate.
Mind you, Gabriel's version fascinates me as no one 'owns' pieces.
