Hello,
Thank you very much for making this it is great to have an open source
effort making this hobby live! I have tried the Ipod app, but I am a
little put off by the Westernized pieces, and I would like to chose
the usual Chinese pieces, which are available on the website applet
(playxiangqi.com) but I cannot find in the Ipod app how to chose
Chinese pieces? Is there such a setting, and where?

As a less important side-comment, I find the backwards/forwards arrows
at the bottom of the game screen really troubling, because every time
I try to hit a piece on my bottom row, I end up hitting one of those
arrows, which apparently do something like ask to undo the last
move??? Maybe it would be a good idea to move the board up a little
bit so there is margin for error , reducing the number of unwanted
hits on those arrows.. But to me that's a minor putoff in comparison
with the Westernized pieces..

Those aside, kudos again and thanks a lot for making this app! Well
done:)
Regards,
LN

I want to answer myself on the first point: I found it in Settings,
before chosing Online mode, that the ability to use Chinese pieces is
indeed built in to the Ipod app. Super!

Hi LN,

You are correct about the replay-panel at the bottom on the screen. I
will take that into consideration in the future releases of HOXChess.
Glad that you enjoy the app.
