Xiangqi (or Chinese Chess)

Xiangqi (or Chinese Chess)

Mr. Ho also likes to play Xiangqi (commonly known as Chinese chess or elephant chess) in his leisure time.  His wife bought him a very beautiful, high-class, and expensive chess set as his birthday gift.  This chess set arrived at Mr. Ho's home about one week before his birthday.  Since then, he always plays two games of Xiangqi with his father-in-law after dinner.
