Xiangqi set for practice

I was looking for a basic xiangqi set to use for practicing, and found this set made of beechwood.


To help me with learning the Chinese notation of moves, I wrote the Chinese numbers on the files.


So here's the set at the start of a game.


At the moment, I'm working through endgame puzzles from the two volumes of Becoming a Xiangqi Assassin.


If you want to have a go, here are two of these puzzles; red to move and win!
