Topic: Janggi


In the News (Sun 19 May 13)

  
  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Janggi
Janggi is sometimes fast-paced due to the jumping cannons and the long range elephants, but professional games most often last for over 100 moves and is thus most often slower than western chess.
Janggi is closely related to Xiangqi ("Chinese chess", which it may be a direct descendent of), and more distantly related to Shogi and chess.
Janggi differs from its Chinese counterpart in that the janggi general starts the game from the central intersection of the palace, rather than from the center intersection of the back edge.

Janggi is a great game and is different enough from XiangQi to make the strategy/tactics of the game much different.
My son and I sometimes play 'Korea vs. China.' Basically it is Korean chess on one side, Chinese Chess on the other.
Each side is restricted to the rules appropriate for that side - Janggi cannons do not jump/take the opponent's cannons, though the XiangQi cannons do, etc. It's a fun game to play every once in a while.

 Xiangqi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The give-and-take between offensive and defensive play are thus more obvious in Xiangqi.
Korea has developed a variation of Xiangqi called Janggi (also written Changgi, Jangki, Tjyang Keui or Korean Chess).
For each piece, the Korean rules match the Chinese rules unless otherwise noted.

Certainly the clarification of the Facing Generals Rule is nowhere else to be found in the printed literature or on the Internet.
I am sure that Malcolm will return to Janggi in future issues since we are considering a column similar to Grand Chess.
I feel it is risky giving a lot of space to this game because many Western players (and our readership is primarily North American and European) are frightened off by games using Chinese characters for their pieces.

 WHAT'S NEW FROM ISPS: Report on Shogi and Janggi Interchange Festa between Japan and Korea (Vol.26,2003.12.20)
My impression is that those who are strong in Janggi are quick to understand the gist of Shogi and enjoy playing Shogi.
Presently, World Janggi Corporation (an affiliated company of the Korean Janggi Association in Japan) plans to establish a training school of Shogi instructors in Korea.
As the 2nd step, ISPS plans to invite Korean elementary school children, who have learned how to play Shogi, to Japan and to hold the 2nd Shogi and Janggi Interchange Festa between Japan and Korea in late August of 2004.

 Ancient Chess
The rook moves not only horizontally and vertically — as it does in other forms of chess —; but also along the diagonal lines within the fortress.
If you are intrigued by the peculiarities you see here, I recommend that you take a look at the rules of janggi.
Some of the conventions of this game are actually older than the modern Chinese game, such as the starting position of the general (king), and the 9 x 10 point board, without the Chinese river.

 Chapter Five: Xiangqi & Janggi
I left my chess set in Cambodia, so I've taken the opportunity to switch to a different sort of chess -- xiangqi (chinese chess) and janggi (korean chess).
Xianqi and janggi are similar to each other -- same board, same pieces, similar words and rules.
Basically, you try to put the other players general (king) in checkmate.
