I want to learn to play Korean chess and this site gives me a good introduction. But point 7. b) and 8. make me confused. For point 7. b), if my opponent captures one of my pieces and thus his king faces my king nakedly, then I will be in advantage and I will not be willing to let him draw. Is it a rule that it is a draw game under that suitation ? For point 8., can a soldier (or pawn) move backward from row 10 to row 9 by moving through the diagonal line in the enemy's fortess ? Please answer me, my e-mail is assam@cityu.edu.hk. Thanks a lot.
