HD Chinese Chess Free
Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) is a two player Chinese board game in
the same family as chess. HD Chinese Chess Free is an implementation of
Chinese Chess for the Android platform.
The game represents a battle between two
armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's "general" piece.
Distinctive features of Xiangqi include the unique movement of the pao
("cannon") piece, a rule prohibiting the generals (similar to chess
kings) from facing each other directly, and the river and palace board
features, which restrict the movement of some pieces.
