Chinese Chess V+

Looking for a fresh alternative to traditional Western chess? Why not dive into the rich, strategic world of Chinese Chess (Xiangqi)?

Welcome to the 21st Anniversary Edition of Chinese Chess — a timeless board game that offers endless entertainment, sharpens your mind, and brings a new level of depth to your gaming experience.

ZingMagic’s highly praised Chinese Chess app is an engaging and intelligent alternative to Western Chess. Whether you're a seasoned chess player or just starting out, Xiangqi provides a unique twist on classic strategy gameplay.

Just like in Western Chess, the ultimate goal is to checkmate your opponent's King. However, Xiangqi introduces its own distinct flavor with seven types of pieces, each following specific movement rules. The board features both horizontal and diagonal lines, with pieces moving along these lines and stopping at intersection points. The central empty space represents the Yellow River, symbolically dividing the northern and southern territories of China.

One key difference is how quickly major pieces come into play — resulting in faster-paced games with less setup time, making it ideal for players who enjoy dynamic and action-packed matches.

Never played before? No problem! This app guides you every step of the way with:

• Interactive hints
• Legal move display
