Chinese Chess V+

Looking for an alternative to Western chess? Why not give Chinese Chess, or Xiangqi, a try.

Welcome to the 21st Anniversary Edition of Chinese Chess. Relieve boredom, have fun, and exercise your mind simultaneously with this classic board game.

ZingMagic's critically acclaimed Chinese Chess app offers a fun, stimulating, and engaging alternative to its Western counterpart.

Similar to Western chess, the goal is to capture your opponent's General (King). You command seven types of pieces, each with unique movement rules. The board features diagonal and horizontal lines, with pieces moving along these lines and stopping at intersections. The central blank area represents the Yellow River, historically dividing northern and southern China. Major pieces enter the fray more quickly, leading to faster-paced and less drawn-out games.

Never played before? Not a problem. The game guides you every step of the way with hints, legal move highlights, piece information, gameplay tips, and 20 difficulty levels, allowing you to learn Xiangqi at your own pace.
