This is a modified version of my Janggi script. Graphics generated by David Howe and modified by myself. This version of Korean Chess has been modified to make it easier to learn for players more familiar with Western (or European) Chess. The pieces are figurines instead of octogons with ideograms, the pieces are placed on squares instead of on the intersections of lines. The board is checkered to make visualization of diagonal moves easier. There is no "river" on this board and there are light lines running through the fortresses to indicate the diagonal movement of several pieces within a fortress. For more information on Janggi, please visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Janggi (or send a subscription request to Janggi-subscribe@yahoogroups.com) The piece graphics used in this game were generated from the Chess Alpha font by Eric Bentzen as well as those created by Fergus Duniho. |
