New Release

XieXieMaster 3.0 谢谢大师

The World Computer Chinese Chess Champion returns with a sharper evaluation, support for external UCI/UCCI engines, and a completely redrawn board.

  • Improved evaluation — a stronger evaluation and search core, now plotted move by move in the new Evaluation Bar graph.
  • Multicore search — the engine now searches on multiple CPU cores in parallel, reaching deeper in the same thinking time.
  • UCI / UCCI engine support — Red and Black can each be played by an external engine, saved as named profiles.
  • Graphical improvements — redrawn pieces, a sharper board and a refreshed interface throughout.

XieXieMaster 3.0 Evaluation Bar graph
Evaluation Bar graph Both sides are plotted across the whole game, so a slow drift or a sudden blunder is visible at a glance — not just the score of the current move.
XieXieMaster 3.0 Thinking window with Red and Black engines
Thinking window Follow both sides live: speed in KNodes/s, depth, current move and the principal variation ply by ply — with a small board to replay each line. Here the external engine Pikachess plays Black against XieXie Master.
UCI / UCCI engines Play Red or Black with any external engine, over UCCI (Xiangqi) or UCI (Western chess). Engines are stored as named profiles with their own hash size, threads, time unit, ponder setting and extra setoption commands — switching engine is a dropdown, not a reinstall.
