What you get

Boss tower

Climb an endless tower of AI bosses. Each stage is meaningfully stronger, with badges, win streaks and hidden “Chess God” milestone bosses every 5 stages.

Play vs computer

Offline AI (minimax + alpha‑beta) with Easy, Medium and Hard levels (also in Blind Chess), move hints, undo, draw offers and resign.

LAN multiplayer

Same Wi‑Fi, share a 4‑digit room code or auto‑discover nearby rooms. In‑game chat. No server, no login.

2 players, one device

The board flips automatically each turn so you can sit across from each other.

Endgame puzzles (cờ thế)

A library of classic Xiangqi checkmate puzzles at easy, medium and hard levels.

Blind Chess (cờ úp)

All pieces except the two generals are face‑down and shuffled — a mix of luck and calculation.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants to play Chinese chess offline: beginners learning xiangqi rules, players who want a strong AI, and friends playing on one phone.
