In Xiangqi, the Chinese Chess, the General (Chinese: 帥 in traditional characters/帅 in simplified characters, pronounced and meaning "marshall", for black, and 將 in traditional characters/将 in simplified characters, pronounced and meaning "general", for red) is the most important piece. The objective of the Xiangqi is to make it impossible for the opponent's General to escape capture, or to make it impossible for the opponent to move any piece without exposing the General to capture.[1]
Movement
[edit]The General can move only one square vertically or horizontally, like the unorthodox chess piece Wazir.[1]
