River's already drawn. Red and black are waiting. Move a cannon — it'll only bite if something sits in between.
Local table
A quiet game against the local AI. No lobby, no waiting.
Red opens. Moves will list here after the first piece lands.
Kept in this browser only. Clearing site data wipes it.
On this page
Online here means the board loads in your browser and answers on this device. It does not mean a waiting room that asks for an email before a chariot can move.
If you typed chinese chess online looking for a quiet game, you’re at the right table. Red sits on your side. Black is the computer on this device — not a stranger in another city.
When
Commuting with a phone. Opening a tab between meetings. Wanting Xiangqi without installing a store app.
When not
Looking for ranked human matchmaking — we don’t host lobbies. Wanting fifty other browser games in a neon grid — wrong house. Needing an APK — walk away from random packs.
Defaults
Same rules as home. Medium difficulty by default. Record stays in this browser. Sound stays off until you poke it.
Steps
Worked notes
Watch-outs
Online
The page is served from the web. The fight is local. No account pipe, no room codes, no ‘players waiting.’ If you wanted a human across a network, that product is somewhere else — politely.
Controls
Same controls as home — New game, Hint, Undo, Flip, Offer draw, Resign. Difficulty seats live in the strength picker.
