 | | Nightsurfer: In case that one would like to know more about that mysterious Chinese brand of chess that has been the basis of so many Chinese careers in International Chess and that even fascinates a player like <Rustam Kasimdzhanov>, namely that thrilling game <XiangQi>: herewith the link that will lead you to a clip that the German program of MTV has produced on Chinese Chess aka <XiangQi>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NBX.... The Chinese version of Chess can be compared to modern strategic <tabletop games>, please have a look at a clip that features the climax of a game of <XiangQi> after having transformed the traditional pieces into units on a tabletop: Red army corners Black General, and that is the matrix of the dreaded <HORSE-CANNON-PALCORNER-CHECKMATE> - please watch the final moves in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_ef... . The foregoing clip has transformed the final moves of the friendly game Rene Gralla vs Phan Thang, Hamburg 2003, into a scenario of <Chinese Battle Chess>. That very game <Rene Gralla vs Phan Thang> has been battled out on February 28th, 2003, at Hamburg, Germany, at the place of the Vietnamese <Doctor Quang Nguyen-Chi> at the square <Berliner Platz> in the eastern part of Hamburg. The well-known <Doctor Quang Nguyen-Chi> is a mentor of Chinese Chess, herewith a photo: http://shaolinchess.de/svalban0.gif . |

| Dec-05-12 | | Abdel Irada: <alexmagnus: Well, the example of the Soviet Union some 50 years ago shows chess <can> be a mainstream sport.> I think that whether chess is or isn't a "mainstream" sport is a question hinging not on the inherent nature of chess, but on culture. Simply: In some cultures, chess is more highly esteemed than in others. If the culture changes in the latter, chess will be embraced; if not, it won't. No rule changes or gimmicks are going to alter that. |

Simply: In some cultures, chess is more highly esteemed than in others. If the culture changes in the latter, chess will be embraced; if not, it won't. No rule changes or gimmicks are going to alter that.> The internet growing in countries that previously lacked the technology also greatly enhances the appeal for chess, particularly in a country like China, who has taken large strides in recent decades to gain a more prominent position in global competition. Consider China's effort in the olympics and other such things. Additionally, countries where individuals, especially children, do not have the liberal finances available for hobby and pass-time personal interests, as in some of the more developed countries, will tend to see children finding interests that do not require continual funding. Other than the cost of internet, every child in china can play Go or Chess regularly at no cost. |

| Jun-03-13 | | twinlark: Also, a country needs a reasonable amount of wealth and infrastructure to support the existence of chess clubs and important chess events that enable players to develop against strong opposition. The human potential for chess (and everything else) in places like Africa would be no less than elsewhere, but the poverty of most countries, in particular their populations, and the lack of infrastructure severely limits the opportunities for top flight GMs to develop in Africa. |
