How to Play

Move your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The General can only travel one square at a time within the fortress. Guards are limited to diagonal moves within the palace. Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot move to the opponent's side. Horses move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, acting as powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must capture by hopping over exactly one piece. Soldiers move forward one square and capture diagonally after crossing the river. Remove the opponent's general to win the game. Strategize your moves carefully to checkmate the computer opponent.
