From 2011-2016, the Webmaster uploaded puzzles on a daily basis to Facebook. At last count, there were at least 3000 puzzles of varying difficulty. Much effort was made to ensure that the puzzles did not overlap.
Due to time constraints, the Webmaster has not been able to keep uploading puzzles. Luckily, various Xiangqi groups on Facebook have filled the void. There are many puzzles that are posted by different Xiangqi lovers everyday.
