What are the differences?

Having learned the rules and played for a few years on and off (it's hard to find a XiangQi player here), I feel like XQ offers more dynamic play whereas chess has more static positions (especially in the Stonewall and such systems), perfect for the tactical player.

That's but a smidgen of my thoughts. What are yours on the differences between these two games?

Many differences: No draw stalemate, no three repetition rule draw, only a zone 3x3  to King and advisors, the King dont "see" each  front to front is banned  the elephant(bishop) don t pass go the river( the middle) only move two squares, cannon jump over  red or white  to eat( is the more difficult to calculate piece) , pawn no promote and will eat side and right when it cross the  middle river.  I m playing in a easy to start no register web " playok". I s a play  with hight tactic, with low strategy, low openings., with  fast attack to the king castle.
