Xiangqi All-Level Rules: Final Tempo Setup with Red C3=5
1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7Main mistake: opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned
before the final note, read the reply as evidence, use this all-levels Chinese chess rule card as an encyclopedia checkpoint: write the setup in one sentence, name the win condition, test whether the first move is legal, then mark whose turn changes the answer. Only after that, replay 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 and explain why Black H6+7 exposes opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned.
1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7on this page, write the task in plain words, Red C3=5 should not be praised yet. First match 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7 to red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1, then ask what Black H6+7 proves. The all-levels job is to tie the rule card to one readable notation line before opening outside records. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this Chinese chess rule card: final tempo record is read.
when checking the reply, keep the comparison same-game, the middle of the record is 6. Red H7+4 | Black R1+5, not the opening label. In this Xiangqi rule card, the move turns the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints from background knowledge into the actual decision rule. Write this beside it: Red improves the horse route in this rule card; Black gains activity only if the cannon lane stays defended.
As the level changes, keep the reply honest, keep 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 as the shared line while the reader checks setup, win condition, legal move, and variant wording. For rule card: final tempo, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why Black H6+7 changes the answer.
1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7
on this page, write the task in plain words, Red C3=5 should not be praised yet. First match 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7 to red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1, then ask what Black H6+7 proves. The all-levels job is to tie the rule card to one readable notation line before opening outside records. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this Chinese chess rule card: final tempo record is read.
Position cue: a cannon screen question, a flank horse route, and a guard that cannot move freely; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1; the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints check for the rule card
1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7Red opens the cannon file for this rule card; Black develops a horse before touching the palace guard.
As the record narrows, tie the move to the board, mixed-level Xiangqi readers opening the final tempo rule card should answer the rules question first: what is the setup, how is the game won, which move is legal, whose turn is next, and what variant boundary changes the record? The short line 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1. Rule check: the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints. It does not replace the source rules.
before the final note, read the reply as evidence, after this rule card: final tempo record, choose a next record from the same game family instead of jumping to a different ruleset. The next page should feel easier to choose because this one has narrowed the reading job.
- 1Anchor the notation
with this board cue, treat the source as later context, find the exact feature named in the cue, then decide whether the opening pair has changed the board or only named a familiar pattern.
- 2Hold the boundary
with this board cue, treat the source as later context, name the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints in plain language, then check whether Red C3=5 still respects it after the reply arrives.
- 3Test the reply
with this board cue, treat the source as later context, the third pass should find the unsafe habit, not merely repeat the notation, so name where opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned first appears.
- 4Pick the next comparison
with this board cue, treat the source as later context, choose the next record by the thing still unclear: the rule cue, the reply timing, the visual cue, or the outside-source comparison.
The guard rule task covers setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, variant boundary, and record-reading bridge. Board cue: red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1. Rule frame: turn order before tempo, common rule trap before candidate move, and record-reading bridge before related record pages. Replay evidence: move one Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; move two Red H7+3 | Black R1=8. Treat it as rule-card evidence, not a full match score.
As the level changes, keep the reply honest, keep 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 as the shared line while the reader checks setup, win condition, legal move, and variant wording. For rule card: final tempo, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why Black H6+7 changes the answer.
when checking the reply, keep the comparison same-game, the middle of the record is 6. Red H7+4 | Black R1+5, not the opening label. In this Xiangqi rule card, the move turns the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints from background knowledge into the actual decision rule. Write this beside it: Red improves the horse route in this rule card; Black gains activity only if the cannon lane stays defended.
Compare notation and position type after the record line is clear; keep outside scores separate.

- Key decision
- with this board cue, treat the source as later context, the third pass should find the unsafe habit, not merely repeat the notation, so name where opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned first appears.
- Mistake diagnostic
- at the first branch, separate habit from proof, the warning sign is narrow. Compare the tempting move with Black H6+7; the wrong answer should fail by rule or timing, not by taste. In this Xiangqi rule card, legality is not enough; the move also has to keep answering the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints.
- After reading
- before the final note, read the reply as evidence, after this rule card: final tempo record, choose a next record from the same game family instead of jumping to a different ruleset. The next page should feel easier to choose because this one has narrowed the reading job.
As the record narrows, tie the move to the board, mixed-level Xiangqi readers opening the final tempo rule card should answer the rules question first: what is the setup, how is the game won, which move is legal, whose turn is next, and what variant boundary changes the record? The short line 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1.

Position cue
a cannon screen question, a flank horse route, and a guard that cannot move freely; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1; the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints check for the rule card
Unique asset
A self-authored SVG record diagram for this Xiangqi rule card marks red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1. It is paired with Xiangqi algebraic piece-file notation beginning 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8. The public reference image pub-xiangqi-red-horse gives readers an open-gallery board or piece reference for the same game family.
Xiangqi rule check
Check this before the outside record: read 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7, name the rule source, test the position cue, and keep the mistake visible.
Open World Xiangqi FederationWorld Xiangqi Federation is the rule source to open first; use it for legal vocabulary before comparing this reference note.
Piece-file notation is not decoration; it tells the reader which piece moved, from which file, and whether the move advanced, retreated, or shifted. The rule card should be read beside the notation before judging the plan. On this page the first line is 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7.
Each piece has its own movement rule: chariots slide, horses step with a blockable leg, cannons capture over one screen, elephants and advisors are restricted, soldiers change after the river, and generals stay inside the palace. For this page, apply it to a cannon screen question, a flank horse route, and a guard that cannot move freely; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison.
The common beginner trap is treating a cannon or horse as if it attacks freely. A cannon without the right screen or a horse with a blocked leg can make a move look active while the record shows it was illegal or harmless. Here the reader's mistake check is opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned.
How to read this record note
First replay: 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7. Keep the line short enough to say aloud before judging whether the move is good.
Then inspect: The guard rule task covers setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, variant boundary, and record-reading bridge. Board cue: red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1. Rule frame:…
Outside check: Linked only as an external record context. This site does not copy XQBase game scores or present its annotated record notes as database records.
Piece-file notation
Read the sample as an annotated notation line, not as a historical Xiangqi game score or engine-approved continuation.
1. Red C8=5 | Black H7+7Beginner Xiangqi records keep the line short, name the cannon or horse route, and stop at the first unsafe material grab.
Intermediate records compare two legal replies, usually a tempting active move against a move that protects the file, palace, or river lane.
Advanced records add quiet preparation and conversion checks, so the reader must track file pressure across several replies.

Commentary
First reading pass for Xiangqi Rule Card: Final Tempo: Read the first exchange as a Xiangqi board-location test. The local cue is red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1, not a memorized opening name.
Main habit for Rule Card: Final Tempo: pause before Red C3=5, count the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints, and then test Black H6+7.
Mistake note for Rule Card: Final Tempo: a check or capture can be cosmetic if the cannon has no screen or the horse leg is blocked. The durable position test is the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints.
Cross-game intuition helps only after the local rule is named. For this Xiangqi rule card: final tempo page, that rule set is the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints around Red C3=5.
The record note has done its job when the reader can describe opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned in their own words and replay the first two entries.

The exact tactical position stays in the self-authored diagram, so the public image is not used as the composed move sequence around Red C3=5. Readers should use the public-library image for context and the self-authored diagram for the exact position. This public-library context remains separate from the self-authored article-specific diagram.
- Compare
- Use the image for board, piece, route, tile, or surface context, then use the article diagram and 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7 for the exact composed line.
- Keep separate
- The public image supports context and license transparency; it is separate from the article-specific record diagram and move sequence.
After the opening pair, write the task in plain words, Xiangqi rule card: final tempo starts from 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 so the reader can inspect red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1. The line is an annotated record note, not a tournament score; it is a mixed-level annotated-record example built as a compact rules-and-record reference. Keep database games separate until Red C3=5 has been checked against Black H6+7. The page-specific mistake check is opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned.
- Compare
- Use outside material to check piece-file notation, cannon-file pressure, horse routes, river timing, and palace safety, source type, and position similarity before returning to the article line.
- Keep separate
- Use XQBase move lists, player names, event names, or complete scores only as context checks; this reference note stays an original annotated record example, separate from outside scores, player metadata, and source commentary.
- Notation and turn order: 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7.
- Position job and trained mistake: a cannon screen question, a flank horse route, and a guard that cannot move freely; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1; the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints check for the rule card / opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned.
- Image fit, source URL, license label, and whether the public image matches the same game family.
- Outside scores, player metadata, event labels, table logs, SGF files, and database commentary stay outside the article body.
- A public image is visual context, not proof that the composed move sequence happened in a real match.
- A classic position anchor helps comparison; it is not a claim that this page reproduces that exact external record.

Classic lookup cue for Xiangqi
Use XQBase as a real-record or position lookup context. This page remains an annotated record note and is not a copied tournament score, named-player record, table log, or external database entry.
XQBase: Xiangqi Rules setup + cannon screen question flank horse route guard cannot move freely + 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7 + opening rook file palace guard is still pinnedOpen XQBaseStart with cannon screen question flank horse route guard cannot move freely. The goal is to find the same kind of board, tile, route, or threat problem before looking for an exact score.
Use the sample 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7 to compare notation form, move length, and record density against external material.
Keep this mistake visible while comparing: opening rook file palace guard is still pinned. A useful outside record should make that decision easier to discuss.
Open XQBase for real records or position context, but keep this record note separate from copied match scores and named-player claims.
Record exemplarCompare the record note with a real source type2 source-backed exemplars for this game family.
Compare the record note with a real source type
These exemplars explain what to compare in a real record index, rules source, or position reference before judging this annotated record note. They keep source lookup useful without copying outside records.
Search for central-cannon openings, then compare the first cannon file, horse development, rook file, and river timing.
Beginner: one cannon lane and one unsafe pawn grab. Intermediate: two replies around the same file. Advanced: quiet file pressure, palace safety, and conversion timing.competition rules boundaryHorse-Leg Legality ExemplarUse the horse-leg rule and piece-movement vocabulary as a legality check before comparing a composed cannon or horse route with outside Xiangqi scores.
Beginner: see one blocked horse route. Intermediate: compare two replies that change the leg square. Advanced: combine legality, cannon file pressure, and king safety.Classic position anchorsUse known record shapes before searching for exact scores2 anchors; compare without copying a real score.
Use known record shapes before searching for exact scores
These anchors name stable rule, opening, route, tile, or board-position shapes for this game family. They help readers compare this annotated record note with external material without copying a real score.
Use this anchor when a Xiangqi page compares cannon-file development, horse routes, palace pressure, or why a river pawn should not distract from the main file.
Compare the first cannon file, horse development, rook file, and whether the outside score keeps the central file pressure before material grabs.Horse route blocked by adjacent pieceHorse-Leg Constraint AnchorUse this anchor when a record note asks the reader to notice why a horse route is legal, blocked, or delayed before comparing outside games.
Compare legal movement vocabulary, horse-leg interference, river timing, and whether the move sequence trains legality or opening strategy.Curated reference packWhere to verify the record context2 game-specific references kept separate from the article line.
Where to verify the record context
These links give the reader a small, game-specific reference trail before using a real database, rule source, or public board reference. They support comparison; they are not copied into this article.
Use this when a Xiangqi article depends on a cannon file, horse route, river crossing, or opening-shape habit and the reader wants to compare the record note with real external game records.
Compare piece-file notation, opening family, cannon lane, horse-leg constraint, and palace pressure before judging whether an outside game is strategically similar.rules and positionXiangqi Rule NoteUse this when a page depends on legal movement, piece names, river/palace terms, or the difference between a legal record line and a complete historical score.
Compare rule vocabulary and legality first; then use the article's own notation sample only as a record cue.Comparison pathHow to compare this fragment with external records4 lookup steps; compare, do not copy a real score.
How to compare this fragment with external records
Use this as a reading path before opening external databases or classic-position references. The goal is comparison, not copying a real score into this article.
- 1Match the notation shape
Start with Piece-file notation and the sample 1. Red C3=5 | Black H6+7. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a cannon screen question, a flank horse route, and a guard that cannot move freely; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; red cannon file 3, black horse file 6, and rook file 1; the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints check for the rule card Look for a similar board, tile, route, or threat problem, not an identical copied position.
- 3Read it as a reference record note
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned. That is how this page explains what a reference record is for.
- 4Keep record note and outside record separate
Use XQBase for real record lookup. This page remains an annotated record note and is not a copied tournament score or named-player record.
