Xiangqi (/ ˈ ʃ ɑː ŋ tʃ i /; Chinese: 象棋; pinyin: xiàngqí), commonly known as Chinese chess or elephant chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is the most popular board game in China. Xiangqi is in the same family of games as shogi, janggi, Western chess, chaturanga, and Indian chess.
Their naming convention is as follows: depending on the type of image, they together will form the entire image name, but start with xiangqi-and end with a unique four or five letter code. Color will either be light (red) or dark (black), and will be denoted by either a "l" or "d" respectively, in the second character placename in the code.
Current definitions of qi cover a wide range of board games, and given that in classical Chinese qí could also refer to other games, some argue that the qí in the four arts could refer to xiangqi. [1] However, xiangqi is often considered a popular "game of the people," whereas weiqi was a game with aristocratic connotations.
