small size, wooden. Chinese chess came from Mesopotamia, maybe the Uighurs, maybe from Mu?
It went from there to the west and became the chess usually known today. That is why the Horse sign piece acts very much like the Knight. Well that is enough of my possible misinformation. But the set is so cute. The pieces look lovely to me. Imagine that you are a person whom has just discovered it, what is this? How does it work? What is the code to it, and how to translate it? The pawns are different on each side. There is a moat in this game, and a couple of cannons. In one picture are details of an Auckland chess club.
