Hi everyone, I am new to the site but am loving it so far!  I didn't see this group already, so I decided to create it.

When I was in China previously, I picked up a 象棋 set but don't get to play that much with anyone locally.  I think there are some programs that allow you to play over the internet, or the moves could always be sent via email or through this site I suppose.

Anyways, let me know if anyone is interested in trying to play at all.  I am a complete novice, only have played a couple of times.

 

谢谢,

 Joe

Folks

We should be lobbying for a Chinesepod lesson on Chinese Chess  - preferrably at least Upper Intermediate level so we can get some meat in it.

I have found some videos on the internet but I am struggling to understand their Chinese
