here's Chinese Chess Play Chinese Chess Online
chinese chess vs chess, which is a better game? when young, of course i think Chinese. But only cuz am far more used to it. Coming from chinese chess, Int Chess feel all congested.
here's Wikipedia on Game complexity Game complexity you have chess, xiangi, (korean chess) jangqi, hex, reversi, etc. a new one i learned is connect6
of the question which is better game, Chess or Chinese Chess, am still undecided. by math complexity, Chinese Chess is more. But numbers don't mean much. you can increase board size or create a rule of swapping pieces that get you more numbers but does not increase strategy or depth. Can become boring.
but it seems agreed that Chinese Chess is actually simpler, easier to grasp. Technically, it has more variation, but they are all similar. While Chess, is more complex, e.g. the linked pawn structure by itself is complex enough, not in Chinese Chess.

Chess, a lost game
Ever since comp beats any and all human , it's no longer interesting. That day , happened around 2005. After that , chess is like, 2 human watching water droplets and bet which runs faster. The only other thing still interesting about chess, is when it is completely solved. Meaning, we know, if white or black can force a win or draw, and further, if win, what's the exact moves.
