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, enjoy yourself, and exercise your mind simultaneously with this classic board game.
ZingMagic's critically acclaimed Chinese Chess app offers a fun, stimulating, and engaging twist on traditional Western Chess.
Similar to Western Chess, the goal is to capture your opponent's King. You control seven pieces, each with unique movement rules. The board features diagonal and horizontal lines—pieces move along these lines, stopping at intersections. The blank central area represents the Yellow River, which divides northern and southern China. Key pieces enter play more quickly, making for a faster, less drawn-out experience.
Never played before? No problem. The game supports you every step of the way with hints, legal move displays, piece movement info, gameplay details, and 20 adjustable levels—letting you learn Chinese Chess at your own pace.
