    Description

    Eurasian Chess brings together the familiar Western chess with the chess games of China and the far east. Like Chinese chess Eurasian chess is played on intersections (lines) not on the squares. Each player has 12 pieces and 10 pawns. The pieces are King, Queen and two each of horse (knight), chariot (rook), Sage (bishop), Cannon, and Arrow

    The cannon is from Chinese Chess. It moves as a Rook, except that it must jump over an intervening piece (called a screen) to capture a piece. When it doesn't capture a piece, it merely moves as a Rook.

    The Arrow is the equivalent of the cannon but operates on the diagonals

    The board is played with a 'river'

    As a compromise with Chinese Chess, the Eurasian King may not cross the river. Like their counterparts in Chinese Chess, which may not face each other across an open vertical line, Kings in Eurasian Chess may not face each other across any open vertical or diagonal line.
