I think XIANG QI have many rules but low strategy,hight tactics, low ending , i think western chess or internationalized chess like  chinese says is more logical ,  try in web playok.

There can be. I don't think there's a rule against knocking over a piece with the capturing piece.

This reminds me, i don't think there's stalemate in Xianqi. There is draw by insufficient material.

The person who is stalemated loses.

Yes I know Chinese chess.

Chinese chess and Western chess are descendants of Chaturanga.

Chinese chess is closer to Chaturanga than Western chess.

I know that the pawns in Chinese chess are in maniple formation.

Very few people know that.
