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.
