Since you do know a little about chinese chess, you can obvious commend on this
paragraph, i am not interested in doing that.

In any game, you only need one move to mate the king, the question is how can
you get into that position.

Talking about checkmate without talking about mate shape and how to get there,
that proved exactly my point.
