The horse moves one point horizontally or vertically, and then one point diagonally. It cannot move in a direction where there is a piece blocking it along the path of movement.
Subsequently, question is, what is Chinese chess called?
?; pinyin: xiàngqí; English: /ˈ??ːŋt?i/), also called Chinese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in China, and is in the same family as Western (or international) chess, chaturanga, shogi, Indian chess and janggi.
Chinese chess appears to be more difficult, or at least more subtle, because the powers of the pieces are generally less than in western chess. Only the Chinese chariots are the equivalent of the western rooks.
