This version of Chinese Chess has been modified to make it easier to learn for players more familiar with Western (or European) Chess. The pieces are styled after figurines instead of using Chinese Characters, the pieces are placed on squares instead of on the intersections of lines, and the board is checkered to make visualization of diagonal moves easier.
