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.
Congratulations Laurent ;D

(Just between you and me, did you post something if you were not be first?
Congrats!
I just looked on the wikipedia for Chinese Chess and… am quite impressed.

Thanks!
If I play the world championship one day I will blog even if I finish last
Nice to see you have Internet Access from your cell Garri
Bravo !
Congratulations Laurent. At the Unconference Lutz Hartmann said that you are a genius. Obviously he was right.
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.
Well, I am always open for a challenge if you want to try mangue@brainking
is Xiangqi now dead in Switzerland ?
yes, pretty much, I am now back to chess… easier to find opponents and tournaments, but my rating is not too high : http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=1322478
