ONLINE CHINESE CHESS WITH ELO
• Rapid (15 min, +5 sec a move), Blitz (8 min, +3 sec) and Battle: three rated modes, each with its own Elo, so a bad night at blitz never touches your rapid rating.
• Matchmaking finds an opponent close to your rating in seconds.
• Chat with quick phrases or typed messages, offer a draw, resign, or block a player.
• Climb the ranking, browse your match history and share a finished game.
• Full rules, perpetual check and perpetual chase included, with a warning before a repeat costs you the game.

BATTLE XIANGQI: 3D WARRIORS
Every capture becomes a short fight between 3D soldiers on a stone board high in the mountains. The Eastern army, with gunners as the cannons, is free for everyone. Play Battle mode against the computer, with a friend on the same phone, or online in rated Battle games. Piece hints label each warrior, so you can always tell the chariot from the horse.

3,800+ XIANGQI ENDGAME PUZZLES
Classical endgame studies from 41 collections of xiangqi books: whole endings where Red must win, or hold a draw from a position that looks lost. Play each one out with any legal move. While you follow the book line your opponent answers from the book; step off it and the engine takes over the defence. Every position and move was checked against the rules before it shipped.
• Easy, medium and hard, filtered by collection or by what you have solved
• A Daily Puzzle and a streak to keep, with an optional evening reminder
• Progress saved to your account, not only on the phone
