Other defensive positions, aside from this position's symmetrical variation, generally lose: If, instead, the elephant on g6 had been on g10, then Red to play wins, starting with 1. Rb7. |} Single chariot endgames: * A single chariot generally cannot win against 4 defensive pieces, but with 3 or fewer defensive pieces, it is a forced win. * Chariot vs one minor piece plus 2 defensive pieces: A win if the 2 defensive pieces are not the same, or if the combination is horse + two advisors. If the defensive side has horse + two elephants, a specific fortress is required to draw. * Chariot vs one minor piece plus 3 defensive pieces: A draw. * Chariot vs two minor pieces with no defensive pieces: A draw, but requires good defensive positions. Chariot + soldiers (unadvanced): * Chariot + soldier, with sufficient defensive pieces on their own side, wins against a chariot plus an advisor, a chariot plus two elephants, or a chariot plus a soldier. * Chariot + soldier wins against any 2 minor pieces + 2 advisors. This combination also wins against horse + 4 defensive pieces, but not cannon + 4 defensive pieces. * Chariot + soldier vs 2 unadvanced soldiers + 4 defensive pieces: If the offensive side has no defensive piece, it is a draw since the 2 enemy soldiers can still be a formidable force. If the offensive side has one advisor, it is a win. * Chariot + 2 soldiers cannot force a win against chariot + 4 defensive pieces. In this endgame, both attacking and defending require great skill. Chariot + horse: * A chariot plus a horse needs one advisor on their own side to win against a chariot plus two advisors. * Chariot + horse vs chariot + two elephants: With enough defensive pieces for the attacking side, it is generally a win if the move limit is not taken into consideration. Chariot + cannon: * A chariot plus a cannon cannot win against a bare chariot, as long as the defending chariot occupies the middle file. However, with any extra defensive piece on the attacking side, it is a win. * Chariot + cannon + 2 advisors would win against chariot + two elephants. * Chariot + cannon + 4 defensive pieces vs chariot + 4 defensive pieces: Draw. Two chariots: * Two chariots vs chariot + 4 defensive pieces: A draw with good defensive positions. * Two chariots vs chariot + minor piece + 2 defensive pieces: The only drawing combination is chariot + cannon + 2 advisors. * Two chariots vs 2 minor pieces + 4 defensive pieces: A win if the 2 minor pieces are 2 horses.
