Deceptive play in Xiangqi

Here is a game illustrating the art of deceptive play in Xiangqi, note particularly the movements of Black's Cannon, 10. ... C4+4 pretending to attack Red's 3rd file Pawn, but in fact laying the foundation for the exciting double attack on Red's double Rooks. A lesson to learn and to enjoy.

A commentator of the game has pointed out that 9. R9+1 instead of the text move should have been played to contain the situation.
