Abstract

This article explores the art of the draw of Xiangqi. In essence,Xiangqi draw is the symmetry break between the winning and losing, which makes the art of Xiangqi evolves and enhances the humanistic values of Xiangqi game. The deep charm of Xiangqi art lies in the mentality of the players, which would only be fully revealed in the round-robin system, because this would bring the Xiangqi game into a “n-body problem” and the complexity has increased greatly. But nowadays it becomes commenplace for organizers of high standard tournament of Xiangqi to adopt a knock-out system so as to simplify the competition to be the “two-body problem”. The best Xiangqi draw percentage should be at the golden section of all games outcome of winning and losing, that virtue as Aristotle once proposed. In order to decrease higher draw percentage, a new initial arrangement of Xiangqi was proposed, thereby greatly increasing the complexity of Xiangqi game.
