Chinese Chess Tactics Trainer
New for iPhone Duo: open it and the board gets the full height of the screen. Learn xiangqi from your first move with 80 free lessons, all on your device.
You don't need to read a single Chinese character to start playing xiangqi. Xiangqiful teaches you the board and the pieces from your first move, reviews every game you play with a real engine, and turns your mistakes into tomorrow's practice. It all runs on your device, with no account.
LEARN FROM ZERO
• 80 free lessons in eight tracks, from how each piece moves to the classic endgames
• Start with Western symbols or a hybrid set and switch to the characters when you're ready. Touch any piece and the board shows where it can go
• In xiangqi, having no legal move loses, and so does checking forever. The app explains each rule the moment it happens, so a chess habit never costs you a won game
• Solve your first checkmate in the first minute, then take a 15-position assessment for a starting rating
PLAY FORTY OPPONENTS
• Forty opponents in eight tiers, from a kid who just learned the moves to the Sage. The first ten are free, with unlimited games
• Each plays a style of its own, from all-out attackers to patient endgame grinders, so each step up feels like a new person. Win twice to mark an opponent defeated
• Stuck? The coach shows the best move with a one-line reason
REVIEW EVERY GAME
• Pikafish, an open-source engine, runs on your device and grades every move on seven steps, from best to blunder, so you see where the game turned
• An accuracy score for both sides and the key moments of every game
• Mistakes named in xiangqi's own terms, like a trapped horse or broken advisors
• Import games in WXF or ICCS notation and review those too
TRAIN WHAT YOU MISSED
• 902 checkmate puzzles, mate in 1 to mate in 7. 708 come from eight classical manuals, the Shiqing Yaqu most of all, and the app's own solver re-checked every line. Book problems that don't hold up were left out
• Nine training modules, from Opening Lab to Handicap House, with more than 150 drills
• Thirty classical endgame studies from the Qing-dynasty manuals, played out against the engine
• Today's plan is built from your own mistakes, and spaced repetition brings each one back until it sticks
WATCH YOURSELF IMPROVE
• An estimated rating, with rating and accuracy over time
• With Premium, a five-axis skill profile and weakness trends show what to work on this week
• Game Center leaderboards and 62 achievements
WHEREVER YOU PLAY
• iPhone, iPad, and Mac with Apple silicon, all with one purchase
• On iPhone Duo, open the phone and pages spread into two columns while the board gets the full height
• An optional 3D board, WXF or Chinese notation, 36 languages, and VoiceOver support
• Fully offline, with no ads. Xiangqiful collects nothing and doesn't track you
