Xiangqi, also known as Chinese Chess, is a two-player strategy board game that has been played in China for centuries. It is believed to have originated during the Warring States period (475–221 BC). The game is played on a board with nine lines and ten points, with pieces representing military officers, horses, chariots, elephants, and cannons. Xiangqi is a popular game in East Asia, particularly in China, Vietnam, and Korea.
