How many kinds of chess pieces are there on each side of China Chess?

There are seven kinds of chess players in China. *** 16 pieces.

1, handsome (average)

Handsome (general) is the head of chess and the goal of both sides. It can only move in the ninth house, can go up and down, can go left and right, and can only walk one grid at a time by pressing the vertical line or horizontal line. Handsome and handsome can't face each other directly on the same straight line, otherwise walking will be judged as negative.

2, stone (Shi)

Shi (Shi) is the personal bodyguard of the general (Shuai) and can only walk around in Jiugong. Its chess path has only four diagonals in Jiugong.

3, phase (like)

Xiang's main function is to defend and protect his handsome (general). Its way of walking is to walk two squares diagonally at a time, commonly known as "flying elephant field" An elephant can't cross the river because it is square in the river boundary, and if there is a chess piece in the middle, it can't go anywhere, commonly known as "elephant eye".

4. cars

The car is the best in chess. You can walk horizontally or vertically. As long as there are no obstacles, the number of steps is not limited. Therefore, one car can control 17 points, so it is known as "one car and ten children are cold".

Step 5: guns

When the gun doesn't eat, it moves exactly like a car. When playing chess, there must be 1 chess pieces between yourself and your opponent (no matter your opponent or your own chess pieces). The gun is the only chess that can be played.

6.horses

The method of riding a horse always walks obliquely, that is, first walk one square horizontally or straight, and then walk obliquely, commonly known as "the horse walks the sun." A horse can choose eight points around it at a time, so it is called "imposing on all sides". If there are other chess pieces blocking the direction of progress, the horse can't walk past, commonly known as "jumping the horse's legs."

7, soldiers (pawn)

Soldiers (pawns) can only move forward step by step before crossing the river. After crossing the river, they are allowed to move left and right, but only one step at a time. Even so, the power of soldiers (pawns) has been greatly enhanced, so there is a saying that "pawns cross the river and half a car".
