Is there a Lichess of Xiangqi? i.e., a site that is ideally, free, open source, privacy respecting, non-monopolistic, etc... but which supports xiangqi (Chinese chess)? Would be cool if it were even a fork of Lichess.

Woah 1st time seeing that website! But tbh I'll NOT be playing variants again in like 3 months. ( Maybe before cuz I can't resist!).

In case anyone likes to try Shogi (An old Japanese bord game, similar to chess and Xiangqi)
You can find it on:
lishogi.org
Also uses a lot of the same open source codes as Lichess and Pychess.
Enjoy

> What about xiangqi.com/?
This is, of course, the first site I ran across when looking for places to play. Why don't I like it?
Not open source.
Not totally free (at least, they have a for profit plan in their "product" roadmap (www.xiangqi.com/roadmap)
Privacy policy sucks, including marketing and other analytics (www.xiangqi.com/privacy).
The site sucks indeed. Doesn't look like it's in the same vein as Lichess at all. Rather, this looks like the chess.com version of xiangqi, and I hate chess.com
