Weekly Challenge 95: Long Range Cannon

yeh read the challenge properly before submitting any entries

Hi @lupo_wolf

Your first submission is ineligible as the cannon isn't giving check to the King (although I appreciate it is contributing to the mate).

Your second submission is eligible, however it isn't in the lead, as the first criteria is:
> 1. Most squares between the opponent's King and your mating Cannon

Others have submitted entries with the maximum distance between Cannon and King, so these trump your second entry.

Entries for Weekly Challenge 95 has closed. Thanks to all users who participated.

The winner is @shinuito who won a game of Xiangqi using a cannon check-mate with (the maximum) 8 squares between the Cannon and King in just 33 moves in the following game: playstrategy.org/3LqtkiWV

Users are still welcome to attempt this challenge and post answers here, but the winner has been fixed. The next challenge can be found here: playstrategy.org/forum/weekly-challenges/weekly-challenge-96-flipping-fine-finish
