黄荣岳
Do not know lists of Boon Lay and Buona Vista ....
Queenstown not in due to .....
I noticed that Queentown joined Sep 2007 Albert Centre Team Event and Nov 2007 Pasir Ris East C.C. Team Event but not this open event.
In fact, all xiangqi clubs should try to attend this coming team event if they have no problem in forming team(s) as most of xiangqi clubs are under PA and logically should give support to this PA's HQ event and Nee Soon South C.C. could be seen as 承办 only. (same as sudoku for Bishan C.C.)
Before Nov 2007 Pasir Ris East C.C. Team Event, 棋一生 mentioned that女皇镇有象棋国际大师郑祥福坐镇守关,辅以今年B组冠军姚威和,乙级棋士黄荣岳,再加上从义顺跳槽的熊国伟,实力鼎盛。
But this time 郑祥福 in Hua Chong team(?), 姚威和 and 黄荣岳 in Beidou team, could this be one of the problems of dual memberships ???!!! ended up Queentown not able to form a team this time ???!!!
Personally, I consider this development is not healthy as I noticed that Queenstown joined 2006 and 2007 Albert Centre Team Events and also sent a few members for the Lantern Xiangqi in Sep 2007 and performed well, but one month later (from 18 Nov 2007 Pasir Ris East C.C. 10-member Team Event) and not able to form a 4-member team for the mind sport......
This could be another issue or problem for new or existing xiangqi clubs to look into ......
