e/Watermelon Chess

Information
has gloss	eng: Watermelon Chess is a two-player abstract strategy game from China where it is known as Xi Gua Qi. It is also known as The Surround Game and Globe. It is related to the Bear games of the ancient Romans. In fact, the board is exactly the same as one of the Bear Games. The difference is that in Watermelon Chess each player has six pieces, whereas in the Bear Games, there are three hunters played by one player, and one bear played by the other player. Furthermore, in the Bear games, only the hunters can surround and immobilize the movements of the one bear; the bear merely moves to avoid this as it is impossible for the bear itself to immobilize any of the hunters. In Watermelon Chess, every piece can participate in immobilizing the other player's pieces; furthermore, surrounded enemy pieces are captured.
