Question

What is the diff from chess sets chinese or american?

Answer 1

If you are playing chess, don't buy a chinese set; it's a completely different game.

Answer 2

chess.com

Answer 3

Chinese Chess

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi

Regular Chess

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess#Rules

If you mean a chess set carved in China but meant to be used for Regular Chess then I must ask if it is Stuanton design.

Staunton design

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Stau...

If not it is illegal for tournament or club use.  If it has other god aspects, who cares?  You would not risk it in a room full of strangers anyway.

Answer 4

j*p chess is called go, is played with rocks, and is nothing like american chess
