- 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).
-
- P.S. The Chinese Chess set by Ishi Press includes rules on Korean Chess,
- but there rules are incomplete -- see the accompanying file, KOREAN.SRC,
- for getting the full set of rules on Korean Chess.
