Features: This book is one of the most widely circulated Chinese chess game collections from the Qing Dynasty, but approximately 60% of the games have been found to be incorrect through later studies. This book compiles the research and annotations of chess players throughout history, correcting the mistakes and recording them in the main collection. It uses modern notation with detailed diagrams to express the moves, and provides insightful comments on the key and brilliant points of the moves. This not only makes the ancient texts simpler and easier to read but also guides general enthusiasts in understanding this profound ancient collection, appreciating its diverse styles, hidden traps, and fascinating chess essence. It serves as a must-read course for chess enthusiasts. This is the newly presented "100 Game Chinese Chess Collection," featuring corrected game positions as the official diagrams and corrected Lai Feng methods as the main official moves. Unlike the annotated version, it is a "clean version." "100 Game Chinese Chess Collection" is one of the most widely circulated Chinese chess endgame collections from the Qing Dynasty, written in 1801 and attributed to "San Le Jushi." The original collection contained over 60% errors, and we have dedicated ourselves to presenting it in a new format, without annotations to save space. The games in "100 Game Chinese Chess Collection" are all masterpieces, the works of ancient folk chess players. Their characteristics are: diverse styles, fascinating and profound; hidden traps within the games, and practical moves. Long-term study can improve killing techniques and develop a grand perspective on the game, making it a valuable reference book for learning chess. The original collection has 107 games, but due to one duplicate, it is actually 106 games.
