Weekly Challenge 77: Quickest Xiangqi Mates

Create a study which shows a game sequence where a mate is found in the fewest number of moves. Do this for both Xiangqi and Mini Xiangqi in separate study chapters. Smallest aggregate number of moves wins.

Adjudication Criteria:
1. Fewest moves (plies) across both chapters
2. Earliest Entry
Closing Date: Monday 30th September 1200 UTC+0

Additional Restrictions:
- Put the number of moves for each chapter in the forum post
- Do not edit the forum post after posting. This will invalidate your entry
- If the study chapter's moves don't match what is claimed in the forum post then the entry will be invalid

If you wish to improve your study and submit a better entry, please clone your original study into a new one, make changes in the new study and make a new forum post with your new totals and new study link.

Wow, if I saw the Wikipedia entry I wouldn't have looked further either. Maybe we should update it :P

There are a number of 6-ply mates for Xiangqi, see if you can find the different matings nets.
