This page needs more infromation: 

1. On the broad of this game, there are zones called the Sea and the Hill instead of the River. Horses and Chriots can't cross Ocean; Cannon can't cross Hill.

2. The piece marked X is Banner. Originally, it steps horizontally or vertically two or one square on owner's zone. When it crosses the Ocean or Hill, it will move like Chariot from then on, but never come back owner's zone. 

3. There are only three soldiers on every player's side. Two soilders on c or g file have been replaced by two pieces called Fire. Fire steps forward diagonally. 

4. Three Friends Chinese Chess is originally invented by ¾G®Ê¼w during the reign of Kangxi Emperor.

I had implimented Three Friends Chinese Chess  ¤T¤Í´Ñ, but 2-player version.
