双龙戏珠 Two Dragons Play Pearl

双龙戏珠 (Two Dragons Playing With The Pearl)

Today we are trying to put together 3 Xiangqi diagrams at once, in theory this should not present any problem. In this way it allows us to present the same game in its many different variation positions.

This endgame study may have appeared in an earlier blog entry. The other day when checking the diagram of this game I spotted that Black's 4th file Pawn should be positioned one step ahead instead of at Red's Palace Corner. So here is the game once again, with two additional variations thrown in :

Game Variation No.1 正和 (Genuine draw)











Game Variation No.2 车杀双马列黑胜 (Rook captured both Knights, inferior play, Black won)











Game Variation No.3 黑车就杀红车列红胜 (Black Rook just captured Red Rook, inferior play, Red won)
