PLAYER GUIDE
Learn to play janggi
A palace of possibilities.
Han chooses a horse/elephant formation, then Cho chooses and plays first on a 9×10 board without a river.
Palace lines and cannons
Generals and guards follow palace lines. Chariots can use palace diagonals. Horses and elephants have blocking points. Cannons need a non-cannon screen even for a quiet move, and cannot capture another cannon.
Pass, bikjang and points
Pass is forbidden while in check. Facing generals creates bikjang; break the face-off or accept it with pass. The online points profile resolves accepted bikjang, two passes and neutral repetitions using material points, with Han receiving 1.5 extra.
