Round 2
2015 14th World Xiangqi Championship
Venue: University of Applied Languages (SDI), Munich, Germany

  1. E3+5  …………

Red selects elephant opening.

  1. …………  P3+1

Black responds with Pawn opening is rare. Normally, Black will play C8=4 or C2=4.



  2. C8=7  E3+5    3. H8+9  H2+3
  4. R9=8  R1=2    5. R8+4  C2=1
  6. R8=6  C1+4


Black C1+4 is too early, a better move would be H8+7 or H8+9 to develop his left flank.

  7. H2+3  R2+7

Better move would be H8+7 or H8+9.

  8. C7-1  P7+1

Since Red's chariot is guiding the river bank, P7+1 is not a good idea.

  9. P3+1  H8+7   10. P3+1  E5+7
 11. C7=3  E7-5


? Mistake.

 12. C3+6  R2+1

? useless.

 13. A4+5  …………

Of course Red plays A4+5 to prevent Red's chariot cross to the other flank.

 13. …………  R2-7   14. C2-1  C8+2

mistake again.

 15. C3=7


Black resigns.
