Application Description

Experience the timeless strategy of Chinese Chess (Xiangqi)! This 21st Anniversary Edition offers a captivating alternative to Western chess, combining fun, mental stimulation, and classic gameplay.

ZingMagic's acclaimed Chinese Chess app provides an engaging experience for players of all skill levels. The objective, like Western chess, is to checkmate your opponent's King. However, Xiangqi utilizes seven unique pieces with distinct movement rules on a board featuring both horizontal and diagonal lines. The central empty space symbolizes the Yellow River, historically separating North and South China. Xiangqi often leads to quicker, more dynamic games compared to Western chess.
