So with regard to the generals, basically if one general "takes" the other general across the board, that would be a draw. They hug it out :) Is that right?
No, it's not right. I have done further research since making this video, and the rule as best I can tell is that the player who is materially behind according to a specific point system of adding up pieces may check the opposing general with his own, and if the other player does not escape or block the check, the game ends in a draw right then and there. But if the other player does escape or block the check, then the game continues as normal, and any player who checkmates his opponent later in the game will still win. For further details, I will refer you to the Janggi page I wrote for the Chess Variant Pages. www.chessvariants.com/oriental.dir/koreanchess.html
You forgot to mention that Red switches their Horses/Elephants first, then Green does, and after that Green plays first.
I usually play online instead of with a physical set. I've now included a link in the description for playing online.
2:08 oh chess style janggi interesting!
So Chinese chess is the base chess? So I should learn that first before Korean chess? Idk either. I’m just asking..
You can learn them in whichever order you like.

This looks a lot like Chinese chess.
Yes, Chinese Chess probably had a strong influence on it. See www.chessvariants.com/history.html for details.
Very informative, thank you after... 10 years, right? )))

I made one board for both Chinese and Korean Chess.
Chinese Cannons can, Korean Cannons can't.

You are suggesting a new rule? Or asking for clarification on something?
