Editing Xiangqi (section)

==Variations==
'''Blitz chess''' <br />Each player only has around 5–10 minutes each.

'''[[Manchu chess]]'''<br>Invented during the [[Manchu]]-led [[Qing dynasty]]. Red horses, cannons, and one of the chariots are absent, but the remaining chariot can be played as horses and cannons as well.

'''Supply chess''' <br />Similar to the Western chess variant [[Bughouse chess]], this variant features the ability to re-deploy captured pieces, similar to a rule in [[shogi]]. Four players play as two-person teams in two side-by-side games. One teammate plays Black and other plays Red. Any piece obtained by capturing the opponent's piece is given to the teammate for use in the other game. These pieces can be deployed by the teammate to give him an advantage over the other player, so long as the piece starts on the player's own side of the board and does not cause the opponent to be in check.

'''Formation''' <br />Similar to [[Fischer Random Chess]], one player's pieces are placed randomly on one side of the river, except for the generals and advisors, which must be at their usual positions, and the elephants, which must start at two of the seven points they can normally reach. The other player's pieces are set up to mirror the first's. All other rules are the same.

'''[[Banqi]]''' <br />This variation is more well known in [[Hong Kong]] than in mainland China. It uses the xiangqi pieces and board, but does not follow any of its rules, bearing more of a resemblance to the Western game [[Stratego]] as well as the Chinese game [[Luzhanqi]].
