楚
GeneralOne step along palace lines, including the diagonal X. Keep it inside the 3×3 palace.
士
GuardOne step along palace lines, also only inside the palace.
象
ElephantOne point straight, then two diagonally. Either of the first two points can block it.
馬
HorseOne point straight, then one diagonally. A piece on the first point hobbles it.
車
ChariotAny number of points along an open rank or file.
包
CannonMust jump exactly one screen to move or capture. It cannot jump or capture another cannon.
卒
SoldierOne point forward or sideways from the first move; never backward.
