What this xiangqi app is for
Chinese Chess - easy to expert is a xiangqi app for two players, and its focus is the endgame. The developer splits a game into three phases, opening, middlegame and endgame, and argues that the endgame decides the result. The app is built to train that part of the game.
Most of the content is puzzles and levels for practising endgame positions. The listing also mentions a chess forum, though it gives no detail on how that works. The developer says the puzzles cover the full range of skills and that working through them step by step will help a beginner improve.
The app suits anyone learning xiangqi who wants structured endgame practice, and players who already know the rules and want more positions to test themselves on.
Endgame puzzles, levels and rankings
The main body of the app is more than 6000 endgame puzzles, sorted into five levels from easy to master. Each puzzle comes with a free answer, so you can check your working once you have tried it.
Separately, there are 1700 endgame levels, also running from easy to master. These are a different way into the same material, so you can move through them as a sequence rather than picking puzzles one at a time.
The app also keeps rankings for puzzle solving, so you can see how your results compare across the different levels.
Daily puzzle and game replays for study
Each day the app offers one endgame puzzle. It is a fixed daily task, which suits a short session rather than a long one.
For longer study, the app recommends ten game replays. You can also copy a replay file from your computer onto your phone, which lets you bring in games from elsewhere. Long pressing the board or a replay copies it, and you can save games, boards and replays to come back to later.
Together these give you a way to review real games alongside the puzzles, rather than only working through isolated positions.
Playing against the computer and setting up boards
A classic game against the computer is included. You can set up your own board position before a game, so you can play out a specific endgame rather than the standard opening.
During play, hints and undo are unlimited. The app also records what you played last time, so you can pick up where you left off.
You can change the board and piece images to suit your taste, and the app has background music. More music can be downloaded from the app's server.
