This article needs some major fixing: cannons do not capture the way they move, and there are no drop restrictions for pawns. (I'd do it myself if I had the time.) OneWeirdDude (talk) 00:51, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At the request of the game inventor I have made a number of changes to the article text and movement diagrams to reflect the rules as published on the Chess Variant site (and elsewhere). In particular, significant changes were made to the cannon moves. Among the other changes I removed the reference to the translation of the game name to Japanese and back to English as 'Cannon Chess', which is a different game also invented by Peter Michaelsen.

I think it still needs work. The paragraphs on movement and capture, with the exception of the cannons, seem redundant with the diagrams present. Also, I'm not sure I like the diagrams' inconsistency with the rest of the variants on Wik.ipedia.Pro. OneWeirdDude (talk) 05:23, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the movement diagrams the same color is used for the sliding move-only portion of the move of cannons (Gold and Copper) that may capture only after vaulting and also for the entire move of range-moving pieces (Kaku and Hisha) that can capture the first piece encountered if enemy.  To be completely clear, two different colors should be used to distinguish range-move-with-capture (of first piece encountered) and range-move-only (with capture of second piece encountered if enemy).  I did not make any changes for this as I am not sure what colors to use.  Also I do not know how to make the colors and symbols consistent with the other variants (per OneWeirdDude's complaint) while also making this distinction.  Howard McCay (talk) 17:42, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency seems to be rather inevitable, though, because cannons are native to xiangqi and don't really appear much in shogi variants. Double sharp (talk) 06:08, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
