2013 第三届《图隆杯》just concluded yesterday, after the introduction of 第二个全国象棋个人公开赛 for 5 years, it is the right time to review the objective of having it now.
The possible objective could be to promote more players to Grade B so that more to join 公开A组 in future. For this reason, the past 3 years of 《图隆杯》did not serve this objective well as no or fewer Grade B players promoted during 2011 to 2013 period as compared to the two years in 2009 and 2010 when we had 年底第二个公开B组全国象棋个人公开赛.
Heard that SIXGA is thinking to have team event to replace 《图隆杯》 in future.
The news from various clubs of future possible activities for 2014 : --
(A) 蔡厝港全国个人赛 -- 2014年 7月5日 至 28日
2014年 7月 5日 6日 12日 13日 19日 20日 26日 27日 28日
is considering using 《图隆杯》method to have all grades in one competition.
(B) For the above reason, SIXGA can consider to introduce back 年底第二个公开B组全国象棋个人公开赛 from Dec 2014 regardless future SIXGA team event, 团体联赛 or qiyou cup.
