Chinese Chess Pro is a shareware Xiangqi program for the Macintosh, written by Tie Zeng and released in late 1993. It implements the traditional Chinese variant of chess, with its river, palaces, and distinctive piece set, in a System 7-era Mac application aimed at both solo and networked play.
Computer opponent
The program plays a respectable game on its own; the author notes that on a fast CPU the engine's strength is pretty good, making it a useful sparring partner for players looking to improve.
Network play
Two players can face each other across an AppleTalk network. While a match is underway, the players can also chat through the program, turning a LAN session into something closer to a club game.
Requirements and licensing
Chinese Chess Pro v1.0.1 requires System 7.0 or later. It is distributed as shareware, with additional features and rules documented in the included package files.
