Xiangqi, often called Chinese chess, is an ancient strategy game that has its roots in China, with a history dating back over 2,000 years. It is considered one of the most popular variations of chess, but with different rules and layout, adapted to Chinese military culture and history.

The game reflects military strategies, where each player leads a "kingdom" with the objective of capturing the opposing "general". Xiangqi pieces, such as the general, chariot or knight, are inspired by traditional military units. Unlike Western chess, Xiangqi is played on a board without square squares, but with rows and columns. In addition, players do not move their pieces in simple directions: each piece has its own moves and strategic restrictions.
