Go to https://buyraycon.com/xiaomanyc for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. This week I decided to learn some xiangqi, also known as Chinese chess. Then I accidentally wound up challenging a Chinese chess master in New York City's Columbus Park and...well, watch the video for the result!

If you're looking to learn more about the addictive and amazing game of Chinese chess in English, start with the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi

A lot more information, including about strategy etc., is available here: http://www.xqinenglish.com/index.php/en/

This website also has a great YouTube channel that goes into opening theory. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSjlK_JOcec

This is my favorite Chinese chess Android app (warning: the AI is REALLY hard, even on the easiest setting I can barely beat it): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.HangXunSpace.combinechess&hl=en_US&gl=US
