## What is Weiming Xiangqi?

A clean, elegant Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) app designed for iOS 26 with Apple's Liquid Glass design language. Play against a strong on-device AI, or pass and play with a friend locally.

Features:

• Native iOS 26 — Designed around Liquid Glass surfaces, fluid motion, and SF symbol fidelity.
• On-device AI — Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels that run entirely on your iPhone, with no network calls and no account.
• Pass & play — Local 2-player mode with board flip, undo, and confirmation for destructive actions.
• Standard rules — Self-check prevention, facing-generals, and legal move generation for every piece.
• Move history — Turn cards, captures, and the ability to review the entire match.
• Accessibility — Respects Reduce Motion. Pieces carry accessible labels for VoiceOver.
• Haptics and audio — Subtle feedback that you can turn off entirely.

Fully offline. No account, no network, no ads, no tracking.

Weiming Xiangqi focuses on what matters: a quiet, elegant board, accurate rules, and a responsive AI that runs entirely on your device.

Known rules not implemented: tournament-level repetition adjudication.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.12.2 — 2026-08-14

Weiming Xiangqi 1.12.2

• Pieces now slide from origin to destination instead of teleporting.
• Replay controls sit above the board, so they no longer cover the top rank.
• The play bar is Undo, Moves, and More — restart and resign stay behind confirmation.
• Status is explicit: your move, AI thinking, check, review, and game over.
• Selected pieces, last move, legal destinations, and check use distinct board marks.
• Move History is grouped by round, with clearer English labels throughout.

Still fully offline, with on-device AI and zero sign-in.

### 1.8.1 — 2026-04-21

Weiming Xiangqi 1.8.0

• Universal OS 26 release: Weiming Xiangqi now runs natively on both iPhone and iPad.
• Wider iPad layouts now give the board more space, move the match controls into a dedicated side rail when appropriate, and keep the gameplay surface readable in both portrait and landscape.
• Home, Settings, and About now adapt for larger canvases instead of stretching the iPhone layout, with cleaner two-column organization where it helps.
• Match setup now presents more cleanly across device classes while keeping the same offline, on-device flow.

Still fully offline, with standard movement and legality rules including self-check and facing-generals. Tournament-level repetition adjudication is still not included.

### 1.8.0 — 2026-04-21

No release notes.
