[Animal Fight Chess][AnimalChess] (斗兽棋, "Doe Show Chee") by [@netcan]
183+
is a Rust implementation of a popular Chinese game.
184+
185+
To win the game, one player must successfully move any animal into
186+
the Den(兽穴) of the opponent or eat all animals of the opponent.
187+
The basic move is just one space either forward, backward, left, or right.
188+
The pieces never move diagonally.
189+
Each player has eight pieces,
190+
[different animals with different degrees of power][animal-chess-pieces],
191+
a larger power piece can eat a little power piece, but rat can eat elephant.
192+
Here's a picture of the pieces, their English names,
193+
and relative powers indicated by a number.
194+
See full rules at [ancientchess.com][animal-chess-rules]
195+
or [Wikipedia][animal-chess-wiki].
196+
197+
The project uses alpha beta pruning algorithm for AI and provides
198+
a python module to use AlphaZero algorithm for training.
