How to play Xiang Qi

I was planning to write up a short explanation of the movement of each piece. However, it occurred to me that this would be reinventing the wheel. There's a lot of good material already out there. (Do note that these sites vary somewhat in the English names they assign to the various pieces; the names I use on this blog are the ones used by David Li.)

If you find these pages interesting and want to learn more, David Li's book would be the next logical step.
