Category:Xiangqi position
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A category to list of all the associate templates and articles, which when completed, will number in the hundreds (at least 300+), and thus this is needed this to track them for maintenance.
There are two basics of the images: one being the type of piece, one being the type of position. Their naming convention is as follows: depending on the type of image, they together will form the entire image name, but start with xiangqi- and end with a unique four or five letter code. Color will either be light (red) or dark (black), and will be denoted by either a "l" or "d" respectively, in the second character placename in the code. The type of piece, such as general or chariot (rook) is denoted in the first character of the code. The type of position occupies the last two or three character places.

The resulting pieces are basically images of every single possible (legal) combination there is. I might even upload illegal combinations, for variants and to play around with. Ie. generals existing in the middle of the board.
