Both these are board games.  They almost have similar pieces.  Chess
uses square to move, Chinese chess(CC) uses the intersection of lines.
Chess has 64 squares, CC has 90 spots or + to move on.

CC pieces: 5 pawns, 2 cannons, 2 rooks (vehicle),  2 knights (horse),
2 elephants, 2 'guards" and the King.
Offensive pieces: pawns, cannons, rooks and knights.
Defensive : especially the elephants and the guards.

Their similarity prompt me to ask this trivial question: which developed
first?   Thanks.

CHU.
