Great Power Chess
East meets West on the board
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A creative fusion of Western chess and Xiangqi—play solo or with a friend. Designed in Fresno, California. Celebrating 23 years of Good Characters.
Great Power Chess blends the world of Western chess and Chinese Xiangqi into a single, unified battlefield. Each half of the board follows its own traditional rules—until pieces cross over, where they must adapt to a new system.
One of the greatest powers in life is the power of friendship. There’s just something special about sitting down with a friend and playing a game of chess in person. It’s not just about the game—it’s about sharing good conversation, laughter, and that quiet feeling of connection. It’s a really nice way to spend time together and enjoy some meaningful fellowship.
Western bishops lose their long diagonal range. Xiangqi cannons lose their leap. The queen moves like an elephant. The border is not just a line—it’s a shift in how the game is played.
This version is designed for thoughtful solo play or face-to-face fun with a friend. It’s more than a game—it’s a learning tool and a creative reinterpretation of two centuries-old traditions.
