2023 Xiangqi World Championship Men's Individual Final | Chinese Chess Game Commentary

[@NH-zh8mp]

A very unfortunate match for Vietnamese, Huynh had at least 4 chances to finish Meng at 16:01 (pawn 9 moves one step ahead instead of moving chariot), 16:33 (chariot moves 1 step back to capture pawn), 16:39 (chariot should moves 5 steps forward to checkmate and go for the trade after that), and 16:57, the strongest move for red is general moves 1 step ahead. Huynh missed a very great opportunity to take the very first world trophy for Vietnam, especially when Wang Tianyi couldn't attend the tournament. Huynh played a great game, but he was kind of lacking calm at the decisive moments and neglected lot of great chances. What a really unfortunate miss, make us really really sad. Anyway, congrates to Meng and Chinese.

These videos are really insightful , but not frequent If related to the lack of modern games you can always review classic ones

[@XiangqiChineseChess]

Thanks for your support! We will try to upload videos on a regular basis

I really enjoy your content and the efforts you have made to expand interest in xiangqi. I would respectful y offer a suggestion though. I would say, use the Chinese characters to denote the pieces and not the western versions. I understand why you do it (to make it more approachable) but, it really doesn't take that much effort to learn the Chinese characters for the pieces and they look so much better.

[@XiangqiChineseChess]

Thank you for your support and suggestion! We've indeed been experimenting with both character and graphical pieces, so seeing some variations in the future might be possible :)

[@LittleBishop001]

Yes, I agree that it's easy to learn Chinese characters in Xiangqi, however many people refuse to make that effort, or they are just afraid to try it. So in the end I'm not sure it is really a good suggestion, it's controversial...

[@xiexiemaster]

agree with this comment.

2023 Xiangqi World Championship, Lai Ly Huynh lost to Meng Chen in standard chess but won in blitz chess.

❓❓I have a question: Does Red 🔴 (or the player who goes first) have a higher winning percentage than Black ⚫ (or the player who follows)? Is it even? Or do statistics say that the player going 2nd wins more? ❓❓

[@XiangqiChineseChess]

Red has a higher chance to win
