Xiangqi: Chinese Chess & Jieqi

Play xiangqi, the classic Chinese chess game, online in rated games and two-week ranked seasons. New: Jieqi, the hidden-piece variant some players call dark chess. Then sharpen your game with 3,800+ endgame puzzles, 89 lessons, an analysis board, blindfold play and a computer with five levels.

SEASONS: CLIMB THE RANKED LADDER
• Every season lasts two weeks, with a 10+5 clock and a live leaderboard.
• Seven tiers from Rookie to Master. Once you reach a tier, a loss never drops you below it.
• Win streaks and your first win of the day earn bonus points; a loss shield softens a bad run.
• Your best tier keeps its avatar frame when the season ends, and the top 100 earn award badges shown beside their name.
• Each season starts everyone fresh.

JIEQI: CHINESE CHESS WITH HIDDEN PIECES
Jieqi (揭棋) uses the full xiangqi board. The generals start face up; every other piece is shuffled face down. A face-down piece moves as the piece that normally starts on its square, then turns over: a chariot can turn up where a cannon stood, and a revealed advisor can cross the river. No two games start alike. Play Rapid Jieqi (15+5) or Blitz Jieqi (8+3) online, each with its own Elo.

ONLINE CHINESE CHESS WITH ELO
• Rapid (15+5), Blitz (8+3) and Battle, each rated on its own.
• Matchmaking finds an opponent near your rating in seconds.
• Chat, offer a draw, resign or block a player. Perpetual check and chase rules included.

SCAN A BOARD, ANALYSE ANY POSITION
Photograph a board in a book, on a screen or on a table, or pick a picture from your gallery, and board scan turns it into a position you can play out or study. On the analysis board, set up any position and see the engine's best lines at every move.

BLINDFOLD XIANGQI
Play the computer with the pieces hidden. Tap two points or type moves (C2.5, H8+7), keep the board in your head, and peek three times a game.

3,800+ XIANGQI ENDGAME PUZZLES
Classical endgame studies from 41 collections: Red must win, or hold a draw from a position that looks lost. Follow the book and your opponent answers from it; step off it and the engine defends. Easy, medium and hard, filtered by collection or by what you have solved, plus a Daily Puzzle and a streak to keep, with an optional evening reminder.

LEARN CHINESE CHESS STEP BY STEP
Six courses, 89 lessons on the board, from The Basics through openings, tactics and checkmate patterns to endgames, plus an opening library with the Central Cannon, Screen Horses and more. The Basics course is free.

PLAY THE COMPUTER OR A FRIEND
• Five computer levels from Beginner to Master, with take-backs and no clock.
• Two players on one phone, offline, with the far side's pieces turned to face your opponent.
• Invite friends, or open a private room with a 6-digit code.

BATTLE XIANGQI AND THE 3D BOARD
In Battle mode every capture is fought out by 3D warriors on a mountain battlefield; the Eastern army is free. Play it against the computer, with a friend on one phone, or online in rated Battle games. Or switch to a 3D board with carved pieces in one tap and pinch to zoom.

GAME REVIEW
Your accuracy, your mistakes and the better move. The first review is free.

MAKE THE BOARD YOURS
