“Girl Peeling Potatoes”, Albert Anker

01 On a chess board the ‘AD’ is allowed to move one cell in any direction. On a Chinese chess board they must remain within the nine cells of the palace. One who gives advice - ‘an advisory council.’ They move one cell at a time diagonally. The two ADs are placed left and right of the GE at the start of the game. Therefore, the ADs may move to five different cells within the Palace. The sole function of the ADs is to protect the GE and losing an AD can put your GE in danger. They act as the GEs inner protective layer. Losing one AD makes the GE vulnerable to attack by two ROs.
