Chinese chess

2 years ago I learned in the class. I play on iPad.

It is about western chess and deep blue

on the timer we have 15 mins or 10 mins and we can make a move and when you move once you need to press the timer and if it reaches the limit you are defeated / you lose.

I play every every week end with the computer

I play on difficult and I win 30% of the matches.

deep blue is win and the people is lost -> deep blue won and the man lost

sometimes I can guess he moves but always he can guess how I move but If I do something different it may lose.

sometimes I play online with my friends and he wins.

I play with my brother.  he plays chess 8 years.

We always use the old moves and if we have the new things they don’t know how to beat us.

one day the cat go out and after a day we find it.
