A friend passed a xiangqi records book to me last night(shown below). This is a compilation of 1974 China Individuals at Chengdu by Macpherson Community Centre Xiangqi Research Club. Just from this we could derive that Singapore Xiangqi was very active in 1970s as just a C.C. xiangqi club could compile such information at that time. If you have a chance to read the SIXGA's books for 40th, 50th and 60th Anniversary Celebrations in 1974,1984 and 1994, you will have much more information regarding Singapore Xiangqi before 1994. At this point, I feel very disappointed that when I started to pay attention to Singapore Xiangqi at end 1998, I could not know much about the activity level, e.g. what are the xiangqi activities in the coming 12 months? what were the activities in the pass three years ? When 白贵忠先生 and 毛瑞发先生 (设计象总会徽)离开人间 in 2005 and 2006 respectively (if I could recall, the passed away of 白贵忠先生 in Mar 2005 was highlighted in 2005 SIXGA's Newsletter No. 9 but I did not read about 设计象总会徽 的 毛瑞发先生 passed away in Jun 2006 in the Newsletter No. 10 published in Oct 2006 or in any other way to inform SIXGA's members), we are going to lost more and more xiangqi information over times if we do not start to do something to capture Singapore Xiangqi Information, say since 1994. May be we should think about to compile Xiangqi Activities and Clubs in Singapore since, say 1994 as 10 years 团体联赛 started in 1995, last two seasons were at 2003年(9th season)武吉甘柏与2004年(10th season)裕华, if we could have such information by Nov 2008, then this could be a record to show to all Asian countries about Singapore Xiangqi Activities and Clubs in the past, say 15 years. To do a good job, at least all the past and present Secretary Generals of SIXGA since 1994 and some other important committee members should treat this as their responsibilities to keep records for Singapore Xiangqi in their capacities in (our National level organisation) SIXGA's EXCO, either past or present.

all types of 花， what I know that no more 菜花 in my Top 10 postings，i.e. at least I have 10 postings better than 菜花, right ? hahaha ....

please wait for further update.

immediately after 首届世界智力运动会 (北京) (10月3 - 18日), please wait for further update.

i.e. the Singapore xiangqi records of past 15 years to show to all Asian countries on 20 Oct 2008 (less than 11 months from now), we have only about 8 to 9 months to get the draft ready, say by end Aug 2008.

The contributions from all xiangqi clubs and xiangqi lovers in Singapore are the critical success factors for this task, of course, lead by SIXGA is a must.

For the compilation of the records, extra efforts from various xiangqi clubs and xiangqi individuals are required, to make sure all are moving towards the same direction, I plan to suggest at least to cover :

Records of Singapore Xiangqi Activities over 1995 to 2009 or early (the main task)

In addition, if we have enough articles or related information from the various xiangqi clubs, then we could also include :

Records of Singapore Xiangqi Clubs over 1995 to 2009, or early (the minor task)

We should not aim for too much other information otherwise the task will become too big and not able to handle in time.

We will need to consider : number of pages, number of copies, fund allocated, resources available and number of members in the editorial board etc.

May be all 悟入棋途网友 could post your views etc here for consolidation, volunteers to join the editorial board are most welcome !!!

To ensure a good job, I also wish to suggest not to rush for Oct 2008 Asian Xiangqi Games in Singapore but to aim for end 2009 SIXGA 75th Anniversary, if the records could be compiled before Oct 2008 in times for Asian Xiangqi Federation 30th Anniversary Celebration in Singapore, it will be considered as unexpected present from Singapore.

in 1974,1984 and 1994 have covered records until 1994.

should be the logical choice to perform the duties of chief Editor for this task ....

if using cheaper printing method, hope the compilation of records is materialised.

As only 卷心菜 provided his views since then, either "no one is showing the interests in the records of past 15 years" or "the views from 卷心菜 and 棋人生 are good enough and complete", anyway, I will feedback to SIXGA's Chairman regarding those views received.

Thanks to 卷心菜.
