Xiangqi and Jasmine
When played on the street, xiangqi is fast, violent, and loud...as fast, violent, and loud as any street chess--perhaps more so.
But I like to imagine xiangqi in a garden, with flowers and the sound of a distant fountain.
The position shown on the board is the final one from a game of the 2007 Jiazhou Cup between Wang LiNa and Zhang GuoFeng. In this position, facing a strong attack, black resigned.
