1997 Chinese National Xiangqi Championship Individual Final | Chinese Chess Game Commentary

[@randys2669]

It took me a while but I think I figured out the puzzle at the end. Black shouldn't play the sacrifice because the red chariot pins the i5 Advisor. If black played for the same sacrifice tactic, ...Cannon xd7 Cannon xd7 Soldier e7 Cannon d6 Soldier d7 Cannon a6 Soldier xc7 Advisor c6+ and black loses a chariot because the advisor can't block.

Good job on finding the right answer! If black sees the potential advisor C6 check at last, and moves the general back to J6 instead of capturing the C7 horse, then the red horse can escape to A8. Red ends up with an extra piece and is surely winning too.
