In reference to Korean chess a.k.a. Changgi, I don't believe that you mentioned the fact that for each player the common practice is on one side,e.g.(red), that BOTH the knight and elephant on either the left or right side but not both sides, are reversed and symmetrical to the center (180 degree turn) and the other player (green) also reverses the knight and elephant. There is no hard and fast rule on this but I suppose this is done so that the elephants don't get in each other's path when attempting to move them into play. It is quite common for players to sacrifice an elephant for two soldiers (pawns). <p>I play this game almost every week in the park in Elmhurst in the borough of Queens (New York City). For those of you visiting NYC, it is adjacent to the Elmhurst subway(train) station on the R,V, or G trains at the Britton Ave end of the park as Chinese Chess is played at the 45th Avenue side of the park. Most Sundays afternoons in the nice weather there are one or two games of GO (a.k.a Baduk or Weiqi/Wei-Chi)in progress.
