some interesting figures ......For the 32 players under Bishan Internal Grading System (2008), if we exclude the 6 graded players under SIXGA system, we still have 26 players with Bishan Grading Certificates, i.e. they are considered as no-grade players under the existing grading system of 象棋大师, 甲级棋士 and 乙级棋士.
Overheard two bishan players talking about to laminate their bishan grading cerficates with plastics, to show that they value the certificates although they know the bishan certificates have no official values.
This is also one of the reasons to motivate us to review the existing bishan grading system so that we could have an improved system for the 10th Anniversary Celebration.
邓章淦 asked whether to consider to promote the use of Bishan Grading System ..
yesterday 邓章淦 asked whether Bishan to consider to promote the use of Bishan Grading System, e.g. to those xiangqi clubs within Central Singapore as a joint project or to discuss at the meeting chaired by SIXGA.
I told him that the Bishan Grading System is more for Bishan Xiangqi Club internal use, especially for the young members and adult members below the grades of 象棋大师, 甲级棋士 and 乙级棋士; and we have no plan to promote the use beyond Bishan Xiangqi Club other than the Bishan members.
