XiangqiPlay is on a mission to bring the timeless game of Chinese Chess to a new generation — with world-class design, fair competition, and a community that spans the globe.
Xiangqi has been played for nearly two thousand years and is one of the most popular board games on Earth. Yet for too long, the digital experience hasn't matched its depth or beauty. We're changing that.
Our goal is simple: build the place where anyone — from a curious beginner to a seasoned grandmaster — can play, learn, and fall in love with Chinese Chess. Fast, fair, and gorgeous on every device.
“We don't want to digitise Xiangqi — we want to do it justice. Every game should feel like a celebration of the most elegant strategy game ever invented.”
A few milestones on the road to becoming the modern home of Xiangqi.
Three Xiangqi-obsessed engineers sketched a board that felt as good to play as the great Western chess sites — but built for Chinese Chess from the ground up.
XiangqiPlay opened to the world with online play, puzzles, and lessons. Within months, players from over 100 countries joined.
We launched live tournaments with real prize pools, a global leaderboard, and a thriving community of coaches and creators.
Today we're the fastest-growing Xiangqi platform on the planet — and we're only getting started.
Four values guide how we design, build, and treat our community.
Every pixel, animation, and interaction is obsessed over. We believe a 2,000-year-old game deserves software that feels timeless.
Xiangqi is best shared. We build for clubs, coaches, families, and friends — and we listen to every one of them.
Integrity is non-negotiable. World-class anti-cheat keeps every game honest so your rating actually means something.
Western symbols or traditional characters, light or dark, phone or desktop — anyone, anywhere can learn and play.
A small, global team of engineers, designers, and Xiangqi lovers.
