Xiangqi Intermediate Rules: Route Repair Setup with Red C2=5
1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7Main mistake: opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned
before using a source, keep the reply honest, use this intermediate Chinese chess rule card as an encyclopedia checkpoint: build the rule card in order: setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, and variant boundary. Only after that, replay 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 and explain why Black H7+7 exposes opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned.
1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7as the rule cue appears, hold the answer lightly, say 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7, find red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1, and ask whether the next reply leaves the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints intact. The intermediate job is to keep two candidate replies alive until the timing test resolves them. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this Chinese chess rule card: route repair record is read.
under the position cue, name the visible demand, the line becomes concrete at 5. Red C5+5 | Black A6+5. In this Xiangqi rule card, this is where the record stops being a label and becomes a reply-by-reply comparison. Write this beside it: The cannon check is forcing in this rule card, but the advisor move shows why the attack is not automatic.
For the reader, treat the source as later context, write a turning-point note beside the middle entry before reading the final conversion. For rule card: route repair, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why Black H7+7 changes the answer.
1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7
as the rule cue appears, hold the answer lightly, say 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7, find red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1, and ask whether the next reply leaves the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints intact.

Position cue: a central cannon file, a horse-leg block, and a river pawn that changes timing; two candidate plans and a turning point; red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1; the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints check for the rule card
1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7Red opens the cannon file for this rule card; Black develops a horse before touching the palace guard.
Intermediate records compare two legal replies, usually a tempting active move against a move that protects the file, palace, or river lane.
before using a source, keep the reply honest, after this rule card: route repair record, write one sentence naming 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8, red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1, and opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned. Red C2=5 is worth keeping only if the reply test around Black H7+7 still works.
- 1Anchor the notation
with the same-game path, turn notation into a question, before using any label for the position, locate Red C2=5 and the board detail it depends on so the plan stays local.
- 2Hold the boundary
with the same-game path, turn notation into a question, translate the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints into a question the reply must answer before the plan is accepted as more than activity.
- 3Test the reply
with the same-game path, turn notation into a question, use the reply as a stress test. If opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned is still hidden, reread the board cue before moving on to the finish.
- 4Pick the next comparison
with the same-game path, turn notation into a question, after comparing 4. Red P5+1 | Black P5+1 with the finish at 8. Red C5=4 | Black C7=6, choose a same-game page that changes one reading demand while keeping the notation familiar. The next page should make the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints easier to test, not restart the reader with a different ruleset.
The balance 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 2, black horse file 7, 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 C2=5 | Black H7+7; move two Red H7+3 | Black R1=8. Treat it as rule-card evidence, not a full match score.
For the reader, treat the source as later context, write a turning-point note beside the middle entry before reading the final conversion. For rule card: route repair, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why Black H7+7 changes the answer.

Compare the reader's first instinct with Black H7+7; the gap is where opening a rook file while the palace guard is still pinned should become obvious. 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.

What this record looks like
For the next comparison, start from a concrete mark, intermediate Xiangqi readers opening the route repair 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 C2=5 | Black H7+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8 is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1. Rule check: the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints. It does not replace the source rules.
Position cue

Unique asset
A self-authored SVG record diagram for this Xiangqi rule card marks red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1. It is paired with Xiangqi algebraic piece-file notation beginning 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+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 C2=5 | Black H7+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 intermediate record.
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 C2=5 | Black H7+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 central cannon file, a horse-leg block, and a river pawn that changes timing; two candidate plans and a turning point; red cannon file.
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

Commentary
First reading pass for Xiangqi Rule Card: Route Repair: Read the first exchange as a Xiangqi board-location test. The local cue is red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1, not a memorized opening name.
Main habit for Rule Card: Route Repair: pause before Red C2=5, count the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints, and then test Black H7+7.
Mistake note for Rule Card: Route Repair: 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: route repair page, that rule set is the cannon screen, horse leg, river, and palace guard constraints around Red C2=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 self-authored record diagram handles red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, and rook file 1; the public image stays contextual rather than exact. The article-specific self-authored diagram remains the exact record cue. 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 C2=5 | Black H7+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.
As the record narrows, hold the answer lightly, Red C2=5 is composed here as a short Xiangqi rule card example beginning 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7; 2. Red H7+3 | Black R1=8. The page uses it as an annotated record note, not a tournament score, built to compare candidate replies. The reader should verify the rule family separately instead of treating this note as an external score sheet. 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 intermediate record note stays an original annotated record example, separate from outside scores, player metadata, and source commentary.
- Notation and turn order: 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7.
- Position job and trained mistake: a central cannon file, a horse-leg block, and a river pawn that changes timing; two candidate plans and a turning point; red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, 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 + central cannon file horse-leg block river pawn changes timing two + 1. Red C2=5 | Black H7+7 + opening rook file palace guard is still pinnedOpen XQBaseStart with central cannon file horse-leg block river pawn changes timing two. 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 C2=5 | Black H7+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 C2=5 | Black H7+7. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a central cannon file, a horse-leg block, and a river pawn that changes timing; two candidate plans and a turning point; red cannon file 2, black horse file 7, 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 intermediate 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 intermediate 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.
