     In Chinese "Qi" is a general designation of games such as Go(Wei Qi),
    Chess, Chinese Chess, Jumping Chess, etc. The "Ki" you refer to (I
think)
    is the ancient chinese character which represents "Wei Qi" especially.
    It's seldom used now and not included in the chinese system of my
computer.
>games so Chinese checkers is "xing qi" (star chess) or "? qi" (jumping
chess
>think ? is tao but haven't got a dictionary to hand). Chinese chess is
            should be "tiao /tiau/",:)
>"xiang qi" (elephant chess).
