什麼是暗棋？What is Dark Chess?
暗棋（Dark Chess），又稱為「翻棋」或「盲棋」，是源自台灣的象棋變體遊戲。與傳統象棋不同，暗棋的所有棋子一開始都是蓋著的，玩家需要透過翻棋來揭示棋子，因此遊戲充滿了未知與驚喜。這種獨特的機制使得暗棋結合了策略、記憶、機率計算三大要素，成為一款極具挑戰性的棋類遊戲。Dark Chess, also known as "Flip Chess" or "Banqi," is a Chinese chess variant originating from Taiwan. Unlike traditional Chinese chess, all pieces in Dark Chess start face-down, and players must flip them to reveal their identity, filling the game with uncertainty and surprises. This unique mechanism combines strategy, memory, and probability calculation, making it an extremely challenging board game.
暗棋的魅力在於其不確定性。即使是棋力較弱的玩家，也有可能通過運氣和策略擊敗高手。但隨著遊戲的進行，當越來越多棋子被翻開後，記憶力和計算能力就會成為勝負的關鍵。這種動態的遊戲體驗，讓暗棋在華人地區擁有廣大的玩家群。The charm of Dark Chess lies in its uncertainty. Even weaker players can defeat experts through luck and strategy. However, as the game progresses and more pieces are revealed, memory and calculation become the keys to victory. This dynamic gameplay experience has earned Dark Chess a large player base in Chinese-speaking regions.

⚡ 快速開始指南⚡ Quick Start Guide
以下是暗棋的 5 步快速入門流程，幫助您立即上手：Here's a 5-step quick start guide to help you get started with Dark Chess:
1
棋盤設置Board Setup
使用 4×8 的棋盤（32 個格子），將全部 32 顆棋子（紅黑各 16 顆）隨機蓋在棋盤上。Use a 4×8 board (32 squares), place all 32 pieces (16 red, 16 black) face-down randomly on the board.
2
決定先手Determine First Move
由先手玩家翻開第一顆棋子，該顏色（紅或黑）即為先手方，另一方為後手。The first player flips the first piece. That color (red or black) becomes the first player's side.
3
翻棋與移動Flip & Move
每回合可選擇「翻開一顆蓋著的棋子」或「移動一顆已翻開的己方棋子」。棋子只能上下左右移動一格。Each turn, choose to "flip a face-down piece" or "move a revealed friendly piece." Pieces can only move one square orthogonally.
4
吃子規則Capture Rules
移動到對方棋子的位置可以吃子，但必須符合「大吃小」規則（帥 > 仕 > 相 > 車 > 馬 > 砲 > 兵；砲可跳吃；兵可吃帥）。Moving to an opponent's piece captures it, following "higher ranks capture lower" rules (General > Advisor > Elephant > Chariot > Horse > Cannon > Soldier; Cannon jump-captures; Soldier captures General).
5
獲勝條件Win Condition
吃掉對方所有棋子即獲勝。如果雙方都無法吃子且不再翻棋，則比較剩餘棋子價值，總值高者獲勝。Capture all opponent pieces to win. If neither can capture and no more flips occur, compare remaining piece values—higher total wins.
⚠️ 新手常見錯誤⚠️ Common Beginner Mistakes
- 盲目翻棋Blind Flipping：開局就翻開棋盤邊角的棋子，容易被困住無法移動: Flipping corner pieces early, making them easily trapped
- 忽略記憶Ignoring Memory：不記錄已翻開的棋子位置，導致重複翻到不利的棋子: Not tracking revealed pieces, leading to unfavorable flips
- 過度保守Being Too Cautious：害怕吃虧而不敢翻棋，錯失機會: Fear of loss preventing flips, missing opportunities
- 不算機率Ignoring Probability：不根據已知信息推測未翻棋子，全靠運氣: Not using known info to deduce unrevealed pieces, relying only on luck
- 兵種輕敵Underestimating Soldiers：小看「兵」的價值，忘記兵可以吃帥: Undervaluing Soldiers, forgetting they can capture the General
📋 詳細遊戲規則📋 Detailed Game Rules
棋盤與棋子Board and Pieces
暗棋使用象棋的棋子，但棋盤縮減為 4 行 × 8 列（共 32 格）。雙方各有 16 顆棋子：Dark Chess uses Chinese chess pieces, but the board is reduced to 4 rows × 8 columns (32 squares). Each side has 16 pieces:

移動規則Movement Rules
- 基本移動Basic Movement：所有棋子只能上、下、左、右移動一格，不能斜走: All pieces can only move one square up, down, left, or right—no diagonal moves
- 砲的特殊移動Cannon Special Movement：砲吃子時必須隔著一顆棋子（任何顏色）跳吃，這是唯一可以遠距離攻擊的棋子: Cannon must jump over one piece (any color) to capture—the only piece that can attack at range
- 不可移動到己方棋子的位置Cannot Move to Friendly Pieces：只能移動到空格或對方棋子的位置（吃子）: Can only move to empty squares or opponent's pieces (capture)
- 翻棋算一步Flipping Counts as a Move：翻開一顆棋子後，該回合結束，不能再移動或翻棋: After flipping a piece, the turn ends—no moving or flipping again
吃子規則（大小順序）Capture Rules (Rank Order)
大吃小順序：
帥 > 仕 > 相 > 車 > 馬 > 砲 > 兵
特殊規則：
1. 兵可以吃帥（以小吃大）
2. 砲吃子必須隔一顆棋子（跳吃）
3. 砲可以跳吃所有比自己小的棋子（砲、兵）
4. 砲也可以跳吃帥（需隔一子）
範例：
帥 可以吃 仕、相、車、馬、砲，但被 兵 吃
車 可以吃 馬、砲、兵，但被 帥、仕、相 吃
兵 只能吃 帥，但被其他所有棋子吃Higher Captures Lower:
General > Advisor > Elephant > Chariot > Horse > Cannon > Soldier
Special Rules:
1. Soldier can capture General (small beats big)
2. Cannon must jump over one piece to capture
3. Cannon can jump-capture all pieces lower than itself (Cannon, Soldier)
4. Cannon can also jump-capture General (requires piece in between)
Examples:
General captures Advisor, Elephant, Chariot, Horse, Cannon, but is captured by Soldier
Chariot captures Horse, Cannon, Soldier, but is captured by General, Advisor, Elephant
Soldier only captures General, but is captured by all other pieces
獲勝條件Win Conditions
- 主要勝利條件Primary Win Condition：吃掉對方所有棋子: Capture all opponent pieces
- 和局判定Draw Determination：雙方連續 30 步沒有翻棋或吃子，則計算剩餘棋子價值: If 30 consecutive moves without flips or captures, calculate remaining piece values
- 帥 = 10 分、仕 = 6 分、相 = 4 分、車 = 3 分、馬 = 2 分、砲 = 2 分、兵 = 1 分General = 10 pts, Advisor = 6 pts, Elephant = 4 pts, Chariot = 3 pts, Horse = 2 pts, Cannon = 2 pts, Soldier = 1 pt
- 總分高者獲勝，同分則為和局Higher total wins; equal scores result in a draw
🎯 進階策略技巧🎯 Advanced Strategy Tips
1. 翻棋策略1. Flipping Strategy
安全翻棋 vs 冒險翻棋Safe Flipping vs Risky Flipping
安全翻棋Safe Flipping（推薦新手）： (recommended for beginners):
- 翻開中間位置的棋子，方便移動到四個方向Flip pieces in central positions, allowing movement in four directions
- 避免翻開角落的棋子（只有兩個移動方向）Avoid flipping corner pieces (only two movement directions)
- 已方棋子較多時，翻棋風險較低Lower risk when you have more pieces remaining
冒險翻棋Risky Flipping（高手策略）： (expert strategy):
- 故意翻開危險位置，誘導對手移動到不利位置Intentionally flip dangerous positions to lure opponents into bad spots
- 根據機率計算，翻開可能是大子的位置Based on probability, flip positions likely to be high-value pieces
- 在對方棋子較多時，翻出己方大子可以逆轉局勢When opponent has more pieces, revealing your high-value piece can turn the tide
2. 機率計算技巧2. Probability Calculation Tips
📊 實用機率計算📊 Practical Probability Calculations
基本計算公式Basic Formula：:
P(翻到己方棋子) = 剩餘己方棋子數 / 剩餘未翻棋子總數P(flip your piece) = remaining own pieces / total unrevealed pieces
範例情境Example Scenario：:
- 棋盤上還有 12 顆未翻開的棋子12 unrevealed pieces remain on the board
- 已知己方還剩 5 顆未翻棋子，對方剩 7 顆You have 5 unrevealed pieces, opponent has 7
- 翻到己方的機率 = 5/12 ≈ 41.7%Probability of flipping your piece = 5/12 ≈ 41.7%
- 翻到對方的機率 = 7/12 ≈ 58.3%Probability of flipping opponent's piece = 7/12 ≈ 58.3%
進階計算：翻到特定棋種Advanced: Flipping Specific Piece Types：:
- 假設己方 5 顆未翻棋子中，還有 1 個帥、2 個兵、2 個其他Assume your 5 unrevealed pieces include 1 General, 2 Soldiers, 2 others
- 翻到己方帥的機率 = 1/12 ≈ 8.3%Probability of your General = 1/12 ≈ 8.3%
- 翻到己方兵的機率 = 2/12 ≈ 16.7%Probability of your Soldiers = 2/12 ≈ 16.7%
決策應用Decision Applications：:
- 當翻到己方的機率 > 50% 時，可以主動翻棋When probability of your piece > 50%, flip proactively
- 當翻到對方的機率 > 70% 時，應該避免翻棋，專注移動When opponent's probability > 70%, avoid flipping, focus on moving
- 當己方大子已被吃光時，翻棋風險極高When your high-value pieces are captured, flipping is very risky
3. 記憶訓練方法3. Memory Training Methods
暗棋高手都具備強大的記憶能力，以下是訓練方法：Dark Chess experts all have strong memory abilities. Here are training methods:
🧠 記憶系統建立🧠 Building a Memory System
- 位置記憶法Position Memory Method
- 將棋盤分為 8 個區域（每列一個區域）Divide the board into 8 zones (one per column)
- 記住每個區域翻出了哪些棋子Remember which pieces were revealed in each zone
- 例如：「第 1 列左邊翻出紅兵，右邊翻出黑車」Example: "Column 1 left revealed red Soldier, right revealed black Chariot"
- 棋種計數法Piece Type Counting
- 記錄每種棋子還剩多少顆（已翻 + 已吃）Track how many of each piece type remain (revealed + captured)
- 例如：「紅方 5 個兵已出現 3 個（2個被吃，1個在場），還剩 2個未翻」Example: "Red's 5 Soldiers: 3 revealed (2 captured, 1 on board), 2 unrevealed"
- 利用棋種總數反推未翻棋子Use total piece counts to deduce unrevealed pieces
- 關鍵位置記憶Key Position Memory
- 優先記住帥、仕、車等大子的位置Prioritize remembering positions of General, Advisor, Chariot
- 記住對方兵的位置（威脅己方帥）Remember opponent Soldiers' positions (they threaten your General)
- 記住己方砲的位置（可遠距離吃子）Remember your Cannon positions (for ranged captures)
4. 走棋策略4. Movement Strategy
🎲 不同階段的策略🎲 Strategies for Different Phases
開局階段（前 10 步）Opening Phase (first 10 moves)：:
- 主要任務：翻棋，盡快了解棋盤狀況Main task: flip pieces, quickly understand board situation
- 優先翻開中間位置的棋子Prioritize flipping central pieces
- 如果翻到己方大子，立即移動到安全位置If you reveal your high-value piece, immediately move to safety
中盤階段（10-20 步）Midgame Phase (10-20 moves)：:
- 根據機率決定是否繼續翻棋Decide whether to keep flipping based on probability
- 開始利用砲的跳吃能力Start utilizing Cannon's jump-capture ability
- 保護己方的帥，避免被兵吃掉Protect your General from Soldiers
- 尋找對手的弱點（被困的大子、孤立的棋子）Find opponent weaknesses (trapped high-value pieces, isolated pieces)
終局階段（20+ 步）Endgame Phase (20+ moves)：:
- 幾乎不再翻棋，專注於走棋和吃子Rarely flip, focus on moving and capturing
- 計算最優的吃子順序Calculate optimal capture sequence
- 注意不要讓對方的兵接近己方的帥Don't let opponent Soldiers approach your General
- 如果優勢明顯，可以主動求和（計分勝）If clearly ahead, consider forcing a draw (win by points)
❓ 常見問題解答❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: 砲可以吃帥嗎？Q1: Can the Cannon capture the General?
可以！砲可以跳吃帥，但必須隔著一顆棋子（任何顏色）。例如：砲 - 車 - 帥，砲可以跳過車吃掉帥。這是砲的特殊能力，也是為什麼砲在暗棋中非常重要的原因。Yes! The Cannon can jump-capture the General, but there must be exactly one piece (of any color) between them. For example: Cannon - Chariot - General, the Cannon can jump over the Chariot to capture the General. This is the Cannon's special ability and why it's so important in Dark Chess.
Q2: 兵為什麼可以吃帥？Q2: Why can the Soldier capture the General?
這是暗棋的特殊規則，源自象棋中「兵過河後可以攻擊將帥」的概念。在暗棋中，為了增加遊戲的趣味性和不確定性，設定了「兵吃帥」這個特殊規則。這使得即使是最小的兵，也能在關鍵時刻扭轉局勢。因此，保護帥不被兵接近是暗棋的重要策略之一。This is a special rule in Dark Chess, derived from the concept in Chinese Chess where "soldiers can attack generals after crossing the river." In Dark Chess, to increase fun and uncertainty, the "Soldier captures General" rule was established. This means even the smallest piece can turn the tide at critical moments. Therefore, protecting your General from enemy Soldiers is one of the most important strategies.
Q3: 如何判斷應該翻棋還是移動？Q3: How do I decide whether to flip or move?
決策流程：Decision process:
- 計算機率：翻到己方棋子的機率是多少？如果 > 50%，傾向翻棋Calculate probability: What's the chance of flipping your own piece? If > 50%, lean toward flipping
- 評估局勢：己方是否有可以吃子的機會？如果有，優先移動吃子Assess the situation: Do you have a capture opportunity? If so, prioritize moving to capture
- 檢查威脅：己方帥是否面臨兵的威脅？如果是，優先保護Check threats: Is your General threatened by Soldiers? If so, prioritize protection
- 考慮位置：己方棋子是否被困？如果是，可能需要翻棋找出路Consider position: Are your pieces trapped? If so, you may need to flip to find an escape
一般原則：開局多翻棋，中盤看機率，終局少翻棋。General principle: Flip more in the opening, calculate probabilities in the midgame, flip less in the endgame.
Q4: 暗棋是運氣還是實力？Q4: Is Dark Chess about luck or skill?
暗棋兼具運氣和實力，但比例會隨遊戲進程變化：Dark Chess combines both luck and skill, with the ratio changing as the game progresses:
- 開局（前 10 步）：70% 運氣，30% 實力 - 翻到什麼棋子主要靠運氣Opening (first 10 moves): 70% luck, 30% skill - what pieces you flip is mostly random
- 中盤（10-20 步）：50% 運氣，50% 實力 - 機率計算和記憶開始發揮作用Midgame (10-20 moves): 50% luck, 50% skill - probability calculation and memory come into play
- 終局（20+ 步）：30% 運氣，70% 實力 - 大部分棋子已知，靠策略和計算Endgame (20+ moves): 30% luck, 70% skill - most pieces are known, relying on strategy and calculation
長期來看（100+ 局），實力強的玩家勝率會明顯高於運氣好的玩家。In the long run (100+ games), skilled players will have significantly higher win rates than those who just rely on luck.
