This is that Janggi
Janggi is a kind of chess game.
Janggi is the Korean name for a strategic board game widespread in Korea. Janggi has much in common with the Chinese Xiangqi, yet some of the conventions of Janggi are actually older than the modern Chinese game, such as starting position of general (king), and the 9 x 10 point board, without the Chinese river in the middle. In addition, Janggi also has some very interesting Korean style innovations. Janggi is sometimes called Korean chess. Other romanizations of the game are changgi, jangki, and tjyangkeui. It is a game that is played on a board that is 9 lines wide by 10 lines long.

Janggi is sometimes fast-paced due to the jumping cannons and the long range elephants, but professional games most often last for over 100 moves and is thus most often slower than western chess. Also, while in Western chess battle is concentrated in the middle few rows for the bulk of the game, in janggi the battle seems to be fought simultaneously all over the board.
