Chameleon is a free, powerful UCI Chinese Chess (also called Xiangqi) engine derived from Stockfish 7. It is not a complete chess program and requires a UCI-compatible GUI (e.g. Sylvan) in order to be used comfortably. Read the documentation for your GUI of choice for information about how to use Chameleon with it.
