Chinese chess (Xiang Qi) is one of the most popular board games worldwide, being played by approximately one billion people in China, Taiwan,and wherever Chinese have settled. Having a long history, the modern form of Chinese chess was popular during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279 A.D.). The earliest record of a Chinese-chess game and a book on the theory of the game originates from that time. 象棋是中国传统的二人对弈棋类游戏。其他类似的有国际象棋及日本将棋。为与国际象棋等区别，又称中国象棋，主要流行于华人及亚太地区。是首届世界智力运动会正式比赛项目。 Each player in turn moves one piece from the point it occupies to another point. Generally pieces are not permitted to move through a point occupied by another piece. A piece can be moved onto a point occupied by an enemy piece, in which case the enemy piece is “captured” and removed from the board. A player cannot capture one of his own pieces. Pieces are never “promoted” (converted into other pieces), although the pawn/soldier is able to move sideways after it crosses the river. More rules : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi
