Yan Wenqing and Zhang Qing Trilogy of Books on Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) Opening

The Double Pawn Ranked Cannons Variation is one of the most dreaded Black counters and often, players taking Red would try to steer clear of it. In this page, Master Yan and Grandmaster Zhang share their insights on the Right Pawn Ranked Cannon (first board) followed by the Double Pawn Pawn Ranked Cannons Variation (second board). As a gentle reminder, this Black counter is not for the faint of heart and Red has to have much grit in order to survive.
