Xiangqi Opening Analysis
Analyze Chinese chess openings with the cloud book and Pikafish engine to judge common moves, rare lines, and opening mistakes.
Opening analysis should not only ask whether a move is strongest. It should ask whether the move is common in practice, whether the follow-up plan is coherent, and whether hidden tactical problems exist. The cloud book gives frequency and sample context, while the engine checks whether the current position works.
Enter the first opening moves or load a FEN with history so the move order is preserved.
Check cloud-book sample size, win rate, and frequency for each candidate move.
Run engine analysis and focus on the score gap between engine choices and common practical moves.
If a common cloud-book move is rejected by the engine, inspect whether there is a tactical flaw or plan issue.
