About

Cchess is a Macintosh shareware implementation of Xiangqi, or Chinese Chess, distributed on Info-Mac as Chinese Chess Pro v1.0.1. Released in November 1993 by Tie Zeng (then at Apple), it pairs a single-player engine with AppleTalk network play and an in-game chat window, all targeting System 7 or later.About XiangqiXiangqi is the traditional Chinese strategy board game played between two armies of sixteen pieces on a 9x10 grid divided by a central river. Pieces such as the General, Cannons and Elephants move under rules quite different from Western chess, and the game has been played in China for roughly a thousand years.FeaturesChinese Chess Pro offers a computer opponent whose strength scales with CPU speed, two-player matches over an AppleTalk network, and a chat panel so networked opponents can talk while they play. Additional options are documented in the package's bundled materials.System RequirementsThe program requires System 7.0 or later. It was authored as a 68k application; on faster Macs of the mid-1990s the bundled engine becomes notably stronger thanks to deeper search.Preservation NotesUploaded to Info-Mac as chinese-chess-pro-101.hqx on 17 November 1993 by zeng@apple.com. The file is preserved through the Info-Mac mirror tree under game/brd/ alongside other board-game implementations of the era.
