Xiangqi - Chinese Chess

A clean game of Chinese Chess (Xiangqi). Play single player against the computer, or two player on two phones face to face. Open it and play. No account, no sign-up, fully offline, no ads, no daily check-ins. NOTE ON LANGUAGE The interface is currently in Chinese only. The board, the pieces and the rules are standard Xiangqi, so the game is playable if you know the pieces, but menus and messages are not yet translated. 10 AI LEVELS From "just learned how the pieces move" up to a genuine challenge. The stronger levels use iterative deepening with a transposition table: the engine sets traps, wins material and plays for mate, and it will not hand you a free piece. Lower levels ease off on purpose, which suits beginners and children. TWO PHONES, FACE TO FACE Join the same Wi-Fi or hotspot, create a game on one phone and search for it on the other. If nothing is found on the local network the app falls back to a direct Wi-Fi Direct connection, so it works without a router. Rooms can be password-protected, and a third person can join to watch. Everything is peer-to-peer with no server in between, so there is no network lag - and it works on a plane, in a basement, or anywhere with poor reception. COMPLETE RULES Horse legs, cannon screens, blocked elephants, the flying general, self-check, perpetual check, and draws by repetition are all implemented to standard and individually tested. CLEAR TO READ Moves animate, captures give haptic feedback, and check is highlighted. Selecting a piece marks every square it can reach, with capturable pieces marked separately. Undo and restart are always available, and dark mode follows the system setting. PRIVACY This app collects no personal information. It has no server and contains no third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting components. During local play, data travels only within your own network.
