User:Seonookim/General (Xiangqi)

The General. The first character 帥 is used to represent the red general. The picture next to it is occasionally used as a non-character alternative. The second character 將 is used to represent the black general. The picture to the right of it is an alternative.

In Xiangqi, the Chinese Chess, the General (Chinese: 帥 in traditional characters/帅 in simplified characters, pronounced ^ⓘ and meaning "marshall", for black, and 將 in traditional characters/将 in simplified characters, pronounced ^ⓘ and meaning "general", for red) is the most important piece. The objective of the Xiangqi is to make it impossible for the opponent's General to escape capture, or to make it impossible for the opponent to move any piece without exposing the General to capture.^[1]

Movement

The General can move only one square vertically or horizontally, like the unorthodox chess piece Wazir.^[1]
