Chinese Chess V+

Looking for a different kind of strategy game? Discover the excitement of Chinese Chess, also known as Xiangqi.

Welcome to the 21st Anniversary Edition of Chinese Chess. Ease your mind, enjoy yourself, and engage your brain with this timeless board game.

ZingMagic's award-winning Chinese Chess app offers a fresh, engaging, and intellectually stimulating take on traditional chess.

Similar to Western chess, your objective is to capture your opponent’s General. With seven types of pieces—each following unique movement rules—the game unfolds across a board marked with both horizontal and diagonal lines. Pieces follow these paths, stopping at intersections. The central blank zone represents the Yellow River, historically dividing northern and southern China. In Chinese Chess, the major pieces enter the action faster, leading to quicker, more dynamic matches.
