Looking for an alternative to Western chess? Why not give Chinese Chess, also known as Xiangqi, a try?
Welcome to the 21st Anniversary Edition of Chinese Chess. Fight off boredom, enjoy yourself, and give your mind a workout with this timeless board game.
ZingMagic’s award-winning Chinese Chess app offers a captivating, thought-provoking, and entertaining take on the classic Chess experience.
Similar to Western Chess, your goal is to capture your opponent’s King. You command seven types of pieces—each with unique movement rules. The board features both horizontal and diagonal lines, and pieces travel along these lines, stopping at intersections. The empty central zone symbolizes the Yellow River, dividing northern and southern China. Major pieces in Chinese Chess enter the action earlier, leading to faster-paced and more dynamic gameplay.
