Thanks, John!

This is from another source 
I can use this and your reference to know of Chinese chess notation.

He simply uses english characters to represent the same thing.  From 
what I could tell his notation is easily translatable into [WA]XF by 
replacing f,b,t with +,-,=.  I may have the characters wrong, but in 
general he uses the Chinese notation with english characters just as 
[WA]XF uses chinese notation with mathematical symbols.

You should learn the characters needed to read chinese notation.  Its 
really only a few symbols more than the pieces.  You have front, back, 
side, and the numbers 1-9.

by the way, this link leads me to an Aikido site.
Aikido is a Japanese martial art.

Interesting :)

I practiced Aikikai aikido  for a few months before.
Aikikai aikido is the most smooth and soft type of Aikido.

Do Aussy people practice Aikido?

It is a good start for beginners in understanding one of the greatest
game,
in my opinion, ever created. As to the question of Seongmo Yoon, the
website with those free e-books on Chinese Chess requires a program
called
Adobe Acrobat to view. You can find the software free to download almost
anywhere on the internet, just search for the program through google or
you can probably find it on Download.com. It was a great site for would
be
chinese chess players...highly recommended:

Thanx Seongmo Yoon. hopes this comment helps.

IS there a way for you to include link to the online multiplayer 3D Chinese
chess game I created?

Hi, all xiangqi friends, i would like to introduce the following free
online chess, come and join, all xiangqi players over the world.

                                                        Malaysian

XiangQi is a very good game, the more you play it, the more you find it 
clever and elegant. 

Not able to read the chinese language, I found 4 very good books on

XiangQi, written by David H.Li. The titles are :
'First Syllabus on XiangQi - Chinese Chess 1',
'Syllabus on Cannon - Chinese Chess 2',  
'Syllabus on Elephant - Chinese Chess 3'
'Syllabus on Pawn - Chinese Chess 4'

These books use the notation given by the WXF and greatly improved my
knowledge and game level.

There wasn't any conclusions i could find for the game...
but as a chinese, i admit that i like this game a lot even though i do not
play it often...

What a site! For a lover of fairy chess etc. like me.

Years ago I saw this beatiful chess set and wanted it, but could not
afford to pay D. kr. 1.500 (appr. 300 dollars). This Christmas my
girlfriend gave it to me! I never told her my wish, so it is simply the
best Christmas present I have recived, ever.

It is very beautiful, a smaller copy of the terracotta figures from the
grave of Qin Shi Huang Di, first emperor of China - much more visual than
Chinese characters. The ministers and guards are very alike, though
(anyone else out there who has a set and knows which one has a split
hair-do and which one does not?)

She worried that it was not standard chess. I thought great that it is
not, though rules did not follow (and I thought Chinese and Japanese
chess
were the same...), so we picked up some simple, and flawed rules on the
Internet.

I have played several games with my self or the kids. We have made three
major mistakes: 1. The ministers (elephants) could leap (minor mistake
actually). 2. I thought the way the horse moved was in a simple L-shape:
One step orthogonally and two steps to the side - or two steps, then one
step. This gives some other points where one cannot leap, including
different opening options. 3. Great mistake: I thought the cannons could
only capture a token directly behind another token (in stead of the great
leap for cannon-kind of the real rules), which makes it a rather weak
token in it self.

Glad you set me straight on all points, though I will recommend my
'wrong
variant', which gives a very complicated and defensive game (with some
tendency to produce tied games). The 'wrong horse moves' I will
recommend in general, for variation.

Looking forward to testing out your variants and the Chorean chess on the
board...
