Step into the arena of Xiangqi where the air is thick with the clatter of horse moves on the wooden board. Black sets up a solid defense with Chariot on 4, Horse on 4, and General on 10 to lock down the palace.

Every move is a note in the tactical symphony as Red Cannon forces Black to choose: weak defense or reckless counterattack? Join us for a detailed analysis of this opening to master the art of resolving perilous situations.
