Xiangqi anyone? First Xiangqi victory!

[El Tejon]

After a long time of having my head handed to me I finally was victorious at a game of xiangqi (or Jung Kay in Cantonese, we know it as Chinese Chess, "the elephant game") over the weekend.  Of course, I have been playing people who grew up playing it and in my first few games I was a goner in under 20 moves.

Central cannon opening and then brought my knights and a chariot right down the center.  Hooray!:D

Anyone else play?  Any books or DVDs to recommend?  (English please).

ET, I think I can speak for most of the boards we wish you a hearty congratulations, while at the same time not having a clue what you're talking about.

Found this site. Game looks interesting, way too interesting for anyone one in Indiana.

Barb, just asking if anyone else plays.  

here, where do you think I am playing the game, Mars?  Lots of players around here.  Don't tell the Border Guards, learning new stuff is just plain old "unAmurikin".
