-<h1>Xiangqi (Chinese Chess)</h1>
-<p>
-Xiangqi is the World's number one Chess variant in terms of number of players.
-Almost all players live in China, Taiwan or Vietnam, though.
-It is a fast and aggressive game, often described as a 'race to mate'.
-When it gets to an end-game it is often a draw,
-because there are many pieces that cannot leave their own board half,
-and thus can be used to defend but not to attack or to trade for the opponent's defenders.

-<h3>Pawn peculiarities</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Pawns capture and move straight ahead.</li>
-<li>When they reach the opponent's board half ('cross the River'), they can also move and capture sideways.</li>
-<li>There is no real promotion; when Pawns reach last rank they are stuck there.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>General rules</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>It is not allowed to expose your King to check.</li>
-<li>Kings are not allowed to face each other, i.e. be on the same file with nothing in between.</li>
-<li>The game is won by checkmating the opponent's King.</li>
-<li>Stalemate (no legal moves, but not in check) is a los for the stalemated side.</li>
-<li>Perpetual checking is forbidden, and the side that checks is ruled to lose on the 3rd repeat.</li>
-<li>When both sides are perpetually checking each other, the game is ruled a draw, however.</li>
-<li>It is also forbidden to perpetually harass the same piece other than King (see below).</li>
-<li>But when both sides do it, the game is again ruled a draw.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
-<p>
-The board is sub-divided into zones, and some pieces are not allowed to cross some zone boundaries.
-Pieces move in general different than their FIDE counterpart. Only the Rook moves truly the same.
-</p>
-<h3>Perpetual Chasing</h3>
-<p>
-It is forbidden to perpetually harass the same piece,
-and when a repeat loop (after 3 repeats) has one side violating this rule, that side will forfeit the game.
-This is only invoked if there wasn't any perpetual checking in the loop as well.
-Exact rules for this are quite complex.
-Basically, when a repeat loop creates a <i>new</i> attack on the same <i>unprotected</i> piece on <i>every</i> move,
-the move sequence will be considered a perpetual chase.
-The chasing side then is ruled to lose, but if both sides are chasing, it is a draw.
-A Rook counts as unprotected against attacks of C or H.
-On the other hand, being able to capture your attacker (as when equal pieces attack each other) counts as (pre-emptive) protection.
-Attacks on a Pawn that is still on its own board half, or attacks by a King are never considered chases.
-</p>
-<p>
-Only legal moves should be taken into account; i.e. pinned pieces are not considered attackers or protectors.
-An attack by the same piece is not considered a new one just because the attacking piece moved to another location,
-e.g. when a Rook moves along the ray of the attack.
-Note that the above rules do not take into account whether the attacking or protecting captures are good or non-sensical,
-or if pieces are <i>sufficiently</i> protected against multiple attacks.
-Even if recapturing would get you mated in one, the piece would still count as protected!
-Also note that is perfectly allowed to alternately chase different pieces.
-Even if one of the pieces is a King.
-</p>
-<h3>Strategy issues</h3>
-<p>
-Any piece except a Pawn on the last rank can force Checkmate against a bare King.

+ <h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
+
+ <p>The board is sub-divided into zones, and some pieces are not
+ allowed to cross some zone boundaries. Pieces move in general
+ different than their FIDE counterpart. Only the Rook moves truly
+ the same.</p>
+
+ <h3>Perpetual Chasing</h3>
+
+ <p>It is forbidden to perpetually harass the same piece, and when
+ a repeat loop (after 3 repeats) has one side violating this rule,
+ that side will forfeit the game. This is only invoked if there
+ wasn't any perpetual checking in the loop as well. Exact rules
+ for this are quite complex. Basically, when a repeat loop creates
+ a <i>new</i> attack on the same <i>unprotected</i> piece on
+ <i>every</i> move, the move sequence will be considered a
+ perpetual chase. The chasing side then is ruled to lose, but if
+ both sides are chasing, it is a draw. A Rook counts as
+ unprotected against attacks of C or H. On the other hand, being
+ able to capture your attacker (as when equal pieces attack each
+ other) counts as (pre-emptive) protection. Attacks on a Pawn that
+ is still on its own board half, or attacks by a King are never
+ considered chases.</p>
+
+ <p>Only legal moves should be taken into account; i.e. pinned
+ pieces are not considered attackers or protectors. An attack by
+ the same piece is not considered a new one just because the
+ attacking piece moved to another location, e.g. when a Rook moves
+ along the ray of the attack. Note that the above rules do not
+ take into account whether the attacking or protecting captures
+ are good or non-sensical, or if pieces are <i>sufficiently</i>
+ protected against multiple attacks. Even if recapturing would get
+ you mated in one, the piece would still count as protected! Also
+ note that is perfectly allowed to alternately chase different
+ pieces. Even if one of the pieces is a King.</p>
+
+ <h3>Strategy issues</h3>
+
+ <p>Any piece except a Pawn on the last rank can force Checkmate
+ against a bare King.</p>
