The Webmaster is thankful to Master Yan Wenqing and Grandmaster for allowing the Webmaster to translate their work in the name of promoting Xiangqi. There are three books in their trilogy which have been deemed as some of the best books on opening theory in all time.

In Xiangqi Opening Tabiat and their Principles, modern-day Xiangqi opening tabiat (orthodox variations) are presented, analyzed and discussed. While the book appeared in the 1990s, the tabiat given still stands and will definitely give the visitor a huge leap in his game.

The books in the trilogy are:

• Xiangqi Opening Tabiat and Their Principles
• Deception and Countermeasures in the Xiangqi Opening
• Dubious Positions and How to Attack Them

The vistor is guaranteed to learn a lot from the various discussions given, no holds barred, by the authors.
