For the very first time in the English Language, this book offers the most detailed study of the opening-game of Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) ever seen. In these pages readers will be introduced to the five major categories of openings and every known variation -- some common, some very obscure and rarely played over the table. Heavily illustrated, THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO CHINESE CHESS OPENINGS is the best way to begin the long journey to Mastership of this wonderful and fascinating cousin of International Chess.
