"Hi my name is Billy and on behalf of expertvillage.com today I'm going to be teaching you how to play Chinese chess we are located in China Town. The next piece to two piece I want to talk about is the protector this is the king so you have two protectors. Then the protector only moves within the box. Within these four box and he only moves diagonally from this one to this one, to corner to this corner back and forth diagonally and up. Once this one is in the way this pawn could not move so basically if this is in the way this stays here. So if this up here then you could move this one up. But, not this space you could do it. You could move anywhere in the corner but, diagonally within the box, within this box. This is the protector of the king. So if anybody want to check you or mate you have to protect what is in front of you, they could not do anything. "
