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.

The Webmaster has also created a series of videos on his Youtube Channel  to explain the content. He has redone the translations and also added notes to help the visitor. The Webmaster has also embedded the videos and the interactive boards so that the visitor can learn at his own pace and have a better understanding of the content.

In Dubious Positions and How to Attack Them, there is ample analyses and lessons on various aspects of Xiangqi Opening theory. While the book appeared in the 1990s, the examples given in the book are still encountered very frequently in over the board play and also online play. What stands out most is the ability to learn opening principles from the examples given in the book.

The books in the trilogy are:

• Xiangqi Opening Tabiat and Their Principles
• Deceptive play in Xiangqi openings and Counter Measures
• 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.
