About Chinese Chess, Xiangqi
Xiangqi (Chinese: 象棋; pinyin: xiàngqí), also called Chinese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in China, and is in the same family as Western (or international) chess, chaturanga, shogi, Indian chess and janggi.
The game represents a battle between two armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's general (king). Distinctive features of xiangqi include the cannon (pao), which must jump to capture; a rule prohibiting the generals from facing each other directly; areas on the board called the river and palace, which restrict the movement of some pieces (but enhance that of others); and placement of the pieces on the intersections of the board lines, rather than within the squares. -- From wikipedia.

Best
Some challenge level are near impossible to win, but once you know how it is easy. I win a few challenge by force a draw, could be a clitch. Hint do not help to win but show a possible move even if it led to a lost game. Overall it a decent game if you dont depend on a hint or redo.
