How to Play
Move your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The General can only travel one square at a time within the palace. Mandarins can only move diagonal moves within the palace. Elephants move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot cross the river. Horses move one square straight and then one square diagonally, but can be blocked by adjacent pieces. Rooks move any number of squares straight, serving as powerful attackers. Cannons move like chariots but must capture by hopping over exactly one piece. Soldiers move forward one square and attack sideways after crossing the river. Capture the opponent's general to win the game. Strategize your moves carefully to outmaneuver the computer opponent.
