ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

元游中国象棋 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ™ Chinese Chess has 172 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of 元游中国象棋's written reviews are positive against 91% of ™ Chinese Chess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

元游中国象棋 ships an update every 5 months, ™ Chinese Chess every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
