VERYNICE XIANGQI (CHINESE CHESS) BEAUTIFULLY WOOD FINISHED BOARD, 13 1/4 INCHES PIECES IN STORAGE DRAWER Find More Chess Variants in our eBay Store! Xiangqi - Shogi - Shatranj - Janggi - Makruk - Shatar - Dou Shou Qi - Luzhanqi Xiangqi is the Chinese version of chess. It is the most played board game in the world (yes, even more than our beloved western 'chess'), and it is so old that its actual origins are lost in antiquity. Some believe that the early Chinese chess pre-dates the Persian chess from which our western chess has evolved. Beautiful Wood Finished Board The board is of a solid pressed wood, measuring 13 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, with a finely finished natural wood veneer. It sits elegantly above the table surface, with a drawer to hold the pieces when not in play. The bottom of the board is covered in a felt-like flocking, to protect the table surface. The board and pieces weigh 4 1/4 pounds, in their original cardboard box. Solid Plastic Pieces The pieces are of hard, solid plastic, approximately 1 1/8 inches in diameter and 3/8 inch thick. They have their Chinese characters very clearly grooved into each piece, and painted red and black. Rule Booklet in English The rule book is included, giving the official rules of xiangqi in clear and concise English, with diagrams. An Excellent Set This xiangqi set is perfect read more
