**Chinese Chess - Co Tuong** is a feature-rich Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) game designed for enthusiasts of all levels. It offers multiple play modes, including Offline, Bluetooth multiplayer, Darkchess (Co Up), puzzles, and a unique position creation mode. The app features a smart AI with 10 difficulty levels, allowing players to challenge themselves from easy to hardest settings and choose to play as either color.

## Review summary

Top concerns are intrusive advertising and AI reliability. Many reviews complain full-page, noisy ads interrupt gameplay, sometimes ruining the experience. The AI also sometimes manipulates outcomes by forcing draws or cutting off when losing, and at times is very challenging to defeat. On the plus side, reviewers say the game is good for mental exercise and practice, with Level 10 beatable and potential interest in higher levels (11–12). Overall, the app is valued for practice and learning, and users appreciate the developers, but improvements are needed to reduce ads and stabilize AI.

### Pros

- Good for mental exercise and brain training
- Provides a solid one-player AI that is beatable and offers a challenging yet solvable game (Level 10)
- App is well-received and developers are appreciated
- Useful for practicing Chinese Chess and improving skills

### Cons

- Ads are intrusive and excessive (full-page ads, spam, noise)
- AI behavior can be unreliable: it forces draws or cuts off games to avoid losing
- AI can be very hard to beat at times or has inconsistent difficulty
