🎯 Janggi

Janggi is a traditional Korean board game similar to Chinese Xiangqi but with unique rules. Two players compete on a 9×10 board, each controlling 16 pieces in the Cho (Red) and Han (Blue) armies. The objective is to capture the opponent's general (King) to win this strategic game.

Janggi consists of 7 types of pieces: General (King), Chariot (Rook), Cannon, Horse (Knight), Elephant, Guard, and Soldier (Pawn). Chariots move unlimited spaces in straight lines, Cannons capture by jumping over pieces, and Horses move in diagonal patterns. Understanding each piece's characteristics enables strategic play.

Initial setup is crucial in Janggi. Effective positioning of Chariots and Cannons while exploiting opponent weaknesses is key. Players must protect their General while seeking attack opportunities and consider piece values during exchanges.

The horse in Janggi has a unique movement pattern. It first moves one space orthogonally (forward, backward, left, or right), then moves one space diagonally outward. Unlike the chess knight, the horse cannot jump over pieces - if a piece occupies the first orthogonal space, the horse is blocked. This is called "the horse is blocked" and makes positioning and surrounding circumstances crucial for effective horse play.
