Questions, bug reports, and how the App works.

Frequently asked

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No to both. There is no sign-in, and the App makes no network requests at all. Every game, including the AI opponents, runs on your device. It works in airplane mode.

Where are my game records stored?

On your device only. We never see them. You can erase them in Settings → Delete my game records, or by deleting the App.

Can I read the rules while playing?

Yes. Tap ? in the top-right of any board to see the controls, rules, and win condition for that game without leaving the match.

Why did the Cannon in Xiangqi jump over another Cannon?

That is legal. In Xiangqi a Cannon captures by jumping exactly one intervening piece — the "screen" — and the screen may be any single piece: yours or the opponent's, including another Cannon. This differs from Korean Janggi, where a Cannon may not jump or capture another Cannon.

Why did the game end when I still had pieces on the board?

In Xiangqi, a player who has no legal move loses, even when not in check. Unlike Western chess, this is not a draw.

The AI is too easy or too hard.

Every game has Easy, Medium, and Hard on the board screen. Changing the difficulty starts a new game.

How do I turn off the sound?

Tap the sound line at the bottom of any board, or use Settings from the home screen.

Does the App follow my dark mode setting?

Yes, by default. You can also pin it to light or dark in Settings.
