Hundred Games Manual: 83 classical compositions

百局象棋谱 (Baiju Xiangqi Pu), the Hundred Games Manual, is a Qing dynasty collection of xiangqi endgame compositions compiled by 三乐居士 (Sanle Jushi) and first printed in 1801. It is the book behind the four great classical compositions (四大名局): 七星聚会, 蚯蚓降龙 and 千里独行 are here, and the fourth, 野马操田, is among those held back. dpxq.com carries 105 of its compositions, and 83 are included here, each rooted at its own diagram with the book's line as the mainline; the other 22 are held back until their recorded lines have been checked against the book. Chapters follow dpxq's listing order, which sorts the titles by their first character and is not the book's own order. Titles are English renderings of the original four-character names, which are kept alongside. Records come from dpxq.com; only the book's diagrams, moves and its own verdict lines are reproduced here, and each composition credits its source. Every line replays legally through the Mistboard rules kernel, which is a check on the record and not on the book: this text has a single source, and a solution recorded short would still replay cleanly. The compositions are more than two centuries old and long out of copyright.
