Xiangqi Schweizermeister 2007

I played the Chinese Chess Championship in Zurich today. It was a all-play-all tournament with Siegfried Huber (2nd with 1.5/3), Luca Rusconi (2nd with 1.5/3) and Beat Sprenger (4th with 0/3). I finished first with 3 wins out of 3 games.

It was an intense day, thanks to Beat for the organization and to Luca for providing the Trophy.

    […] Xiangqi scheint in der Schweiz nicht gerade im Trend zu liegen. Wir gratulieren Laurent Schneider trotzdem zum Titel! […]

    Garry, are you hiding in jail from a rematch?

    Wow! another (non-Chinese) oracle DBA who plays Xiangqi. Although it sounds like you are MUCH better at it than I.
