"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 move I want to also mention is however you play this game you always want to keep one of each piece of these three close. So if you have the rook on this side on the other side of the game on the board you want to keep this side close. This really close to the king just in case you have one of the piece that comes over and try to take you out you always have one on each side ready. So you have to move everything out right here, you could move one rook out, one jumper out, and one horse out and that way the other three are out doing there work and these other three here protecting there brother there ... the king just in case anything happens. You have those ready to help you towards the back of the game. Without that it basically nothing. "
