LEARN → PLAY → ANALYZE → TRAIN

■ LEARN XIANGQI FROM ZERO
• 80 free lessons in 8 tracks: fundamentals, openings, palace defense, cannon tactics, horse technique, middlegame, endgame and advanced
• Every rule shown on the board: the horse's leg, the elephant's eye, the cannon that captures over a screen, the generals that may never face each other
• The rules that catch chess players out, taught first: having no legal move LOSES, and so does checking forever
• Solve your first checkmate in the first minute, then take a 15-position skill assessment
• The advanced track walks the classics, from the Juzhongmi to the Seven Stars endgame

■ CAN'T READ THE PIECES? START ANYWAY
Every piece is a Chinese character on a wooden disc — the real reason most people never start. Pick traditional characters, western symbols or a hybrid of both, with a movement guide on every piece you touch.

■ PLAY OPPONENTS WITH PERSONALITY
• Forty teahouse opponents, from a kid who just learned the moves to the Sage: a grandmother who never leaves her palace, a twin-cannon fanatic, an endgame grinder who waits you out
• They play styles, not a dialed-down engine. Win twice against each one to mark it defeated
• Stuck mid-game? The coach shows the best move and a one-line reason why

■ ANALYZE EVERY GAME
• Pikafish, the open-source engine that tops the computer-xiangqi rating lists, runs entirely on your device
• Every move graded from best to blunder, with an accuracy score for both sides
• Mistakes named in xiangqi's own terms: a screenless cannon, a trapped horse, broken advisors, a missed Iron Bolt mate
• Import games in WXF or ICCS notation and review them too

■ TRAIN WHAT YOU MISSED
• 902 checkmate puzzles, mate-in-1 to mate-in-7, most from eight classical manuals such as the Shiqing Yaqu of 1570 — every line re-checked by the app's own solver, and any book problem that does not really work left out
• Nine modules, including Mate Trail, Cannon Range, Horse Trails, Opening Lab, Palace Workshop, Endgame Studio and Handicap House, with more than 150 drills
• A daily plan built from your own mistakes, with spaced repetition until they stick

■ WATCH YOURSELF IMPROVE
• Estimated rating, with rating and accuracy over time
• A five-axis skill profile and weakness trends that say what to work on this week

■ PRIVATE, OFFLINE, NATIVE
• Fully offline. No account, no ads, no tracking, nothing collected
• Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with an optional 3D board
• WXF and Chinese notation, more than 30 languages, VoiceOver throughout
• Game Center leaderboards and achievements
