GUIDE : History Board movements

xFate · #1 24th August 2008

A guide on the chess history on the left.
Listed by rankings

S = Soldier ( 兵/卒)
E = Elephant ( 相/象)
A = Advisors ( 士/仕 )
H = Horse ( 马 )
C = Cannon ( 炮 )
R = Rook/Car ( 车 )
G = General ( 帥/将)

For the numbers, u count them from right to left.

+ refers to moving forward (vertically)
- refers to moving backward (vertically)
. refers to moving horzontally

Made this for those people whom dunno what their opponent moved, thus
can check the history for their last move!

Changes：
25/08/08: Change some errors on the alphabets of the piece
25/08/08: Added in the chinese translation of the piece.
03/09/08: Added the direction of the pieces movement ( Credit to Billy_Str95 )

P.S. Feel free to challenge me. just post on my wall

Thanks for highlighting the above.
Maybe the number should also be shown on the map too.

xFate · #3 24th August 2008

yea im also thinking of maybe admin could add alphabets and numbers just like in checkmate.

Thank you for putting up this useful post.

In Dynasty Chess, the Mandarin is known as the Advisor, thus A is used and not M. And the "King", or more correctly, the "General" is represented by a G and not K.
