Correspondence Chinese Chess

After playing some regular chess here, I was interested in playing online correspondence Chinese chess (or xiangqi), but I couldn't find anything like that (and in English). So, I wrote my own, and I thought others might be interested...

http://www.simplyxiangqi.com

It's free (though with adverts, I'm afraid), has ELO ratings, shows you threatened pieces and valid moves, and has help describing the rules.

Give it a go, let me know what you think.

I am moving to Japan next year (like anybody care 😴 ). What do they play there: chess or chinese chess? Would love to try.

They play Shogi --- Japanese chess, oh, and "Go" is quite popular over there too


As for this site, Well done, I had a look around, and it does seem to be a pretty good site.



A while back, I tried to get into both shogi and xiangQi, but i was never able to find any decent software, or just a site to play/learn...

I'll sign up later.

I've played Xiangqi at www.clubxiangqi.com, but i'm afraid i wasn't very good. I haven't learned the nuance's of the play, and only really learned the piece moves from a web page. I will try your site out bud, but i will be getting the soft cushion and germoline out for the constant butt whipping.

Funnily enough i was looking for a place to try Chinese chess just the other day!! I'll have to check it out. 😀

never. not once. i do like elephants though. 😏

I just started a game on your site (nicely done by the way), my hamdle is Huck. . . inventive sort that i am.


I have not recieved notification of moves by e-mail. I have chosen the option, but i have not recieved one, did i misread, or is this an error ?

yup

FYI, here is a website with some information about Xiang Qi, & how to play it right:
