A friend got me into Xiangqi a few months ago. I’ve played chess for years, so I figured it’d be easy. It wasn’t.

The main issue was getting into it. The Chinese characters on the pieces were intimidating and the English resources I found were pretty scattered. Honestly the only reason I stuck with it is because my friend kept playing with me. Once it clicked, I actually started to really enjoy it.

So we ended up making an app to make the early part less confusing and Xiangqi more accessible, mainly just trying to help new players.

I’d really like feedback from people who actually know Xiangqi. We didn’t grow up with it, so if something feels off or missing, I’d like to hear it.

If anyone’s open to taking a look, I’m happy to share.
