Xiangqi, commonly called Chinese chess in English, is one of the most popular board games in China. According to recent research, it evolved from an ancient Chinese game called Liubo which was invented about 3,500 years ago.
The board is 9 lines wide and 10 lines long. Dividing the two opposing sides is a river (reference to Chu-Han contention) marked with traditional Chinese character '楚河汉界'.
Xiangqi isn't as well-known as chess game in the world. However, at least 1.3 billion Chinese people like this game.
