Janggi - 장기 - Korean Chess. The variant of chess played in Korea. (9x10, Cells: 90) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I just realized that I don't know which are the horses and which are the elephants in the Korean chess set. In other forms of chess, the position on the board diagram indicates this, but because Korean chess allows the horses and elephants to be placed at the player's choice, just seeing the pieces laid out on the board doesn't necessarily tell which is which. I don't have any trouble with the one side, which looks like the characters from Chinese chess -- but the other side. So my question is this: Are the Korean characters on this page arranged in the standard Rook-knight-bishop-queen-king-queen-bishop-knight line-up? ...or not? Much thanks for the clarification!
