How to Play
Shift your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The Commander can only move one square at a time within the nine-pointed star. Guards are limited to diagonal moves within the palace. Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot move to the opponent's side. Horses move one square straight and then one square diagonally, but can be blocked by adjacent pieces. Rooks move any number of squares straight, serving as powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Pawns move forward one square and capture diagonally after crossing the river. Remove the opponent's general to win the game. Strategize your moves carefully to outmaneuver the computer opponent.
