Chinese Chess V+

Experience the strategic depth of Xiangqi, the classic Chinese chess game! This 21st Anniversary Edition offers a captivating alternative to Western chess, combining fun, challenge, and mental exercise.

ZingMagic's acclaimed Chinese Chess app provides a stimulating gameplay experience. The objective, like Western chess, is to checkmate your opponent's King. However, Xiangqi utilizes seven unique pieces, each with distinct movement rules. The board incorporates diagonal and horizontal lines, with pieces moving along these lines until they intersect. The central empty space symbolizes the Yellow River, a significant geographical feature separating North and South China. Xiangqi often features quicker, more dynamic gameplay than Western chess due to the earlier engagement of major pieces.

New to Xiangqi? Don't worry! The app provides comprehensive guidance, including hints, legal move displays, piece movement explanations, game information, and 20 difficulty levels to facilitate learning at your own pace.
