I am the packager of this ZIP file, CCHESS.ZIP, and am
also known on the thousands of Fidonet BBSs that carry
SDN files as the editor of ShareDebate International
(more about that in the separate file, ABOUT_SI.TXT).
I put this package together to introduce others to the
incredible fun of Chinese Chess which is my favorite
game. My wife of 17 years is Chinese and I spend about
a month a year in Hong Kong where I picked up the game.
There are two public domain/freeware versions of
Chinese Chess included in this file, CCHESS and XQ.
CCHESS works fine for PC’s and the HP 100 (a palmtop MS
DOS MCGA computer) but if you can spend $35 (not to me
but to the author of the game), the Xian for DOS game
is far superior. XQ works fine on a color PC (as does
CCHESS) but XQ doesn’t look good at all on the HP100 —
no matter what screen shading/inversions I did.

Another thing that really makes Chinese Chess package (CCHESS + XQ) enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Chinese Chess package (CCHESS + XQ). Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
