LiQi is a form of Chess for two players utilizing extremely powerful pieces. Its name means "Strong Chess".

Each player has a force of sixteen on a playing field consisting of an 8x8 grid of points. Pieces move upon these points.

MaoJu ["cat chariot" or "wheelbarrow"] steps without capturing up to two forward or backward orthogonal. It steps one diagonal with capturing. When making a capture, it has the option of promotion to any previously captured friendly piece if available.

RuoShi ["young lion"] may step one diagonal or orthogonal or leap to any second point. If it makes a capture when performing the simple step, it is allowed to perform another step orthogonal or diagonal without returning to its original starting point.

JiaoYe ["angled leaf"] performs the diagonal planar move.

FeiYe ["flying leaf"] performs the orthogonal planar move.

BenYe ["running leaf"] performs either the diagonal or orthogonal planar move.

TianWang ["heavenly king" or "emperor"] leaps to any point on the playing field. It may not captured a defended TianWang.

The game is won by capturing the opposing TianWang. Repetition of position is not permitted. The game is considered drawn if both players have only TianWang and MaoJu, with no piece immediately attacking another.

See Game Strategy in the Help section for further explanation of planar moves.
