Play Xiangqi Online for Free

Xiangqi

Xiangqi is Chinese chess, the board game played by millions across Asia, and here you can play it free online in your browser. Cannons leap over a screen to capture, horses can be blocked at the leg and the generals must never face each other across the river, which makes every game sharp and tactical. Take on a computer opponent with eight levels, play a friend on the same device or sharpen your attack with 34 checkmate puzzles.

How to play

  1. Pick vs Computer, 2 Players or Puzzles; Red always moves first.
  2. Tap or drag a piece, then tap a green dot to move it — follow each piece’s rules, shown under Rules.
  3. Checkmate the enemy general; leaving your opponent without a legal move wins too.

  • 34 verified mate-in-1, 2 and 3 puzzles for Red and Black
