In the game where Red’s queen starts to the left of his king.

Good answer! Here is an even better one:
“Chinese chess or xiangqi (also romanised as hsiang ch’i) is basically a board game fought between two armies each with sixteen pieces. The wooden pieces are usually circular, and often the two sides are coloured red and green. The armies face one another across a central river over which certain pieces are not allowed to cross. The pieces do not sit within the squares but are placed at the corners, and move from corner to corner. The aim of the game is to trap and kill the Marshall (Red Army) or General (Green Army).” – http://www.sacu.org/chess.html
