[Rules]
-In Western chess, If no legal moves are possible, stalemate (draw) is achieved. but not in Korean chess.
-if you have no legal moves, you must skip the turn. when both of you can't move legally, or can't win because both don't have enough pieces, the game ends in a draw.

-and also, if Player A's General faces Player B's General unobstructed, It's called bikjang. in this situation, Player B can call a draw, or make a move so that reject the bikjang.
-If you're losing the game and there's no hope to win, try to force the opposing to call a bikjang. by forcing the opposing to sacrifice a valuable piece(like po, cha and horse) for breaking the bikjang. even if he/she rejects the bikjang, you can take a chance to win.

-by declaring janggun (將軍, general), you can announce check. and getting out of janggun is called Meonggun.

-and unlike chess, there's no draw by repetition of position. In tournaments, when a position repeated three time, a referee orders a player to make a different move. usually the losing one do so.

-漢(han) player get 1.5 points, because 楚(cho) starts the game. according to wikipedia, the half point is for prevent tying.
