- dragonwriter 5y ago> It has less pieces and is a faster game than chess Xianqi has sixteen pieces on a side just like chess; Shogi has 20 on a side.
- colordrops 5y agoWell would you look at that, you are right. The different layout fooled me, with the pawn row being smaller. It even has the same number of different types.
- joemi 5y agoActually, Xiangqi has 7 types and western Chess only has 6, unless I'm counting wrong.
