The following are two currently-in-print and good books on Chinese Chess.
|
|
You can also order an actual board game of Chinese Chess from Ishi Press
|
|
International (76 Bonaventura Drive, San Jose CA 95134, 408-944-9900 (in
|
|
England: 20 Bruges Place, Baynes Street, London NW1 OTE, (0)71-284-4898.
|
|
Ishi Press accepts phone orders with credit cards. The book on Chinese
|
|
Chess by C. E. Tuttle of Rutland, Vermont, was bought at a book store.
|
|
|
|
You can also buy a Chinese Chess set from some (only a minority I've found)
|
|
of Chinese and/or Vietnamese-Chinese grocery stores. Call around (use the
|
|
yellow pages). I found a place that sold the sets for $4.50 but the board
|
|
was a paper board (but you could wall-paper glue and shellac it onto a
|
|
piece of fiber-board to make a nice solid game board). The Ishi Press
|
|
Chinese Chess set costs about $30-some dollars.
|
|
|
|
By the way, Ishi Press International has a book (Shogi for Beginners), a
|
|
IBM PC software program (Shogi Master) that runs great on a HP 100 and
|
|
MCGA, CGA, EGA, and VGA PC's, and an actual board game (wooden and magnetic)
|
|
of Shogi -- which is Japanese Chess -- but that is a whole different story
|
|
and this ZIP file is focused on Chinese Chess. But for chess lovers, I'd
|
|
thought I'd throw this in. Oh yes, C. E. Tuttle has a book on Shogi too,
|
|
called Shogi: Japan's Game of Strategy by Trevor Leggett which includes a
|
|
fully functional Shogi Chess game (heavy cardboard pieces, paper board).
|
|
(For those who have a HP 100 and end up getting Shogi, it can't run under
|
|
the HP 100 System Manager -- you must terminate from that program to run
|
|
Shogi -- also, the EGA*.* and VGA*.* files aren't needed to run Shogi on
|
|
the HP 100.)
|
|
|
|
P.S. The Chinese Chess set by Ishi Press includes rules on Korean Chess,
|
|
but their rules are incomplete -- see the accompanying file, KOREAN.SRC,
|
|
for getting the full set of rules on Korean Chess.
