Well, I'm Chinese. In fact, we often play CHINESE CHESS instead of chess. CHINESE CHESS is similar to it, and older. In China, chess is called WESTERN CHESS or INTERNATIONAL CHESS.

Due to SIMILAR, many Chinese not only good at CHINESE CHESS but also good at CHESS.

haha I'm actually really bad at chinese chess (I know that we call it "xiangqi" in the west, but when I visit China it's always directly translated as "chinese chess")

The only reason why I beat people is because I can sit there and think for a long time

top row: five pawns

middle row: two cannons

bottom: rook, knight, elephant (bishop-ish), (idk translation, guard seems reasonable), king

It's called Xiangqi. I prefer Wuziqi and Weiqi

Chinese are prretty good at kung fu, and I heard it takes a lot more practice to perfect than chess.

Yeah. If they can do this, they are already prepared for what playing chess feels like.
