PUBLIC-BENEFIT PROJECT
Keeping Xiangqi open, teachable, and useful.
XIANGQI is positioned as a free educational resource rather than a commercial game store. The goal is to lower the barrier for new players, support cross-cultural learning, and preserve a playable modern record of Chinese chess.
Use the free learning pathFree core learning
Lessons, local AI practice, and basic play are designed to remain free to access.
Culture without stereotypes
The project explains rules, language, and strategy without turning Xiangqi into tourist decoration.
Transparent by default
The source link stays visible, policies are public, and donations or partnerships must not buy gameplay advantage.
Public-benefit positioning is an operating commitment, not a claim of registered nonprofit or tax-deductible charity status. Formal entity details will be published after legal review.
