[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] CHINCHES game

ttang@puff.cs.wisc.edu (Theodore Tang) (03/09/88)

Here are the instructions to the game of Chinese Chess which I had posted
some time ago:

1) Go to your public library
2) Find a book on Chinese Chess
3) Check out the book
4) Read the book

That's all I can say for the program.  It came with no instructions but Turbo
Pascal sources may be available.  It is public domain for I originally got it
from Northwestern University Opus at (312) 491-3892, 2400 baud.  Or try
contacting them through the USENET, they are connected.

Anyone out there from Northwestern University?

It is Chinese Chess, I guess you need to recognize Chinese character first.  It
is extremely difficult to illustrate via the net cause the net did not support
Chinese character.  It will be easier for you to pick up a book on Chinese
Chess in the bookstore.

 PS.  I guess it is not very helpful, but that is the way it i

A number of people have requested more information on how to play the
Chinese Chess game that was recently posted.

Here is one reference that I recently located.  I would imagine any
bookstore or library would be able to order it.  I do not know if this is
a good book on the subject or not; it was the only one that I was able
to find locally.

	Charles E. Tuttle Company  1985
	Library of Congress Number:  84-052394
