Zhao XinXin Wastes No Time
by cj on Jun.26, 2009, under Tournaments
Last April Wang Yang won the 2009 Albert Panan National Xiangqi Cup Classic against the elite of the xiangqi world. Along the way, Zhao XinXin bumped 2nd seed Xu YinChuan out of the tournament in round 4 with the following quick knockout.

How strong are you, cj? And do you know the best xiangqi server? It does not have to be in english. Also where can I play against a gm-level computer?

And in this game why can not the black chariot just take the pawn after p7+1?

movesky.com and clubxiangqi.com are 2 popular servers. It’s difficult to say which one is the “best”. I think it depends on which interface is most comfortable for you. As for my playing strength, I bounce between mid 1700’s and 1800 on clubxiangqi. There are a variety of chess engines here. I also use and recommend XieXieMaster by Pascal Tang, which you can get here. There is a free version for download.

After R4=3, C7=6, H2+1, R4=8 looks good. Any strong players out there care to comment?

But are those two servers the biggest ones? I thought there would be some big chinese server. And btw your second link does not work. Though I think I found the site using google.

Here is another Vietnamese server that I’ve played on and is a lot of fun. I know a lot of Asian players use QQ. You may find something by doing a search at http://www.baidu.com, “Asia’s Google”.
Anybody else know of a mega xiangqi server in China?

Hi CJ,
I am a big fan of this chess. Thanks to you and your friends who organise this page in English which can quickly updates information from China to non-chinese speaking players. I love it.
Thanks again, and wish you guys all the best.
