Xiangqi One - Chinese Chess

Xiangqi One is the free Chinese chess app for learning, playing online and training every day. Xiangqi (象棋), also called Chinese chess or cờ tướng / co tuong, is the 2,000-year-old strategy game played by millions across Asia. If you love chess, you will love its faster, more tactical cousin: cannons that jump to capture, a river that splits the board, a general locked in his palace.

Whether you are completely new or already a strong player, everything you need is in one app.
