I thought I would share with everyone my collected knowledge of movies and TV shows about Chinese Chess.

The first and the third are movies I found while browsing a bookstore in Chongqing, China.

This is 棋王，"Chess King"

I believe that this is the IMDB page for it, but the only review on there has nothing to do with the actual movie.

IMDB also has another movie with the same Chinese name but titled "King of Chess" starring Tony Leung.

Another movie I own is called 黑炮事件, "Black Cannon Incident"

There is also the amazing Chinese anime titled 象棋王, "Chinese Chess Master"

EDIT: I forgot about this one! A TV show called 棋战士，"Chess Warriors" starring Dickey Cheung

You can watch the first episode for free here and find the Wikipedia page here.

Anyone know any others?

Nice work. I really liked the You Tube video. I have nothing to add other than my admiration. Do you know if any of the movies you mentioned have English subtitles?

Actually, I own the first and the third movie mentioned and they both have English subtitles! They're a little spotty at times, but work well enough!

Interesting. There should be at least one or more manga out on this as well. I know theres certainly some Mahjong manga out there so Im sure someones done the XiangQi as one.

Just a bump to let everyone who's subscribed know I added more titles to the list.
