Chess with Witch, Dwarf and Xiangqi Cannon thegreatauk - evert823

Wg6

Nc5

Dd5

Nxd7

You were already in check since #21. My f-pawn became transparent for my Cannon which means that your f-pawn is the one real piece between my Cannon and your King.

I actually propose, for purity of the game, to revert to #21 and ask you to get out of check from there.

Yeah, OK, now you know my plan which is annoying but what ever. Ke2.

Position after Wg6+ Ke2:

Dd5

f3

Nb5

We3

Nd4+

Bxd4+

Bxd4 does not put my King in check.

Dxd4

Oh! Duh! Sorry it was instinct. Nf5.

Bc4

Am I right that I can play Cxe7?

Cxe7 is a perfectly legal move. The Cannon must jump one piece - not transparent for himself - in order to capture. So it jumps over the e5 pawn capturing the e7 Bishop.

(For your information: in Xiangqi the cannon is evaluated half of a Rook.)

But is it actually your move - Cxe7?
