Overview
Embark on a traditional strategic journey with Xiangqi Classic Chinese Chess, the ancient game of military tactics.

Key Features
1. Authentic Classical Xiangqi experience for chess enthusiasts.
2. Advanced AI algorithm presents a significant challenge when facing the computer.
3. Flexible timing options allow for a casual or brisk-paced match.
4. Two-player offline mode enables face-to-face contests with friends and family.

Interesting Gameplay
1. Begin by placing the pieces in their starting positions: the Chariots (Rooks) in the corners, next to which are the Horses (Knights). The Elephants (Bishops) and Advisors (Guards) flank the General (King), who stays within the confines of the palace.
2. Traverse the intersection of lines (points) on the board rather than the squares, different from Western Chess.
3. Utilize your army, comprising of Cannons and Soldiers (Pawns), wisely across the river—the board's dividing line—and capture your opponent's General for victory.
4. Embark tactically as there is no castling or en passant and the Elephants cannot cross the river. Advisors and the General are constrained to the palace, which adds a layer to strategic planning.
5. Enjoy a fair and thought-provoking game moderated according to Xiangqi's centuries-old rules of warfare, enhancing your strategic thinking and foresight with each move.
