Zheng Ximing 郑熙明, a three time Toronto champion, won the 1st runner up and also will represent Canada for the WXF Championships in China next year. Richard Li, YaChao 李亚超, the 2009 Toronto champion got the 10th spot.

Toronto won the first North American Team Championship in 2006. Vancouver won in 2008 and 2010. In 2011, the tournament was won by a team from Houston, Texas.

Please join me in congratulating Ximing and Richard for a job well done!

Prime Minister Harper’s exposure to Chinese chess in Beijing will lead to the logical follow-up: The great Chinese grandmasters are returning to Canada.

Two teams of Chinese Xiangqi grandmasters will be visiting Canada in April and May – the first such teams to visit Canada since 1998.

The first team will tour Western Canada, and be on hand for the 5th North American Xiangqi Championships in Richmond, BC. This team will includes Grandmasters Hong Zhi (員洪), Zhao Xinxin (趙鑫鑫) and You Yingqin (尤穎欽; one of China’s top woman players). The team leader will be Ms. Xiaofang Liu.

This team will arrive in Vancouver on April 7, go to Calgary on April 12, to Edmonton on April 15, and return to China on April 17. They will not play in the North American championships (too strong), but will give lectures and exhibitions in each city that they visit.

What we are calling “Undercover Xiangqi” (揭棋) is a popular Chinese chess variant in which the game begins with the pieces turned upside down so that they can be “uncovered” during play. We do not know a generally accepted English name, although it has been called “Lucky Xiangqi“. Google Translate gives “exposing chess” for 揭棋. “Undercover Xiangqi” is related to another Xiangqi variant called “Banqi“, which is played on half the board. A Chinese language explanation of Undercover Xiangqi’s rules is at the end of this post, after the Chinese version of the tournament notice.

Above to the right is the official event poster. Below it is a diagram of the starting position for Undercover Xiangqi. Click for full-size versions (click on the enlarged image to close it). Here is a large pdf version of the poster.

揭棋簡介 (Introduction to Undercover Xiangqi)

揭棋，是一种看不见棋子字面上的文字的一种有特色的象棋游戏。看不见棋子是揭棋的独特形式，也是揭棋最有趣味之处，如棋子给赛员或其它人士窥见，游戏便没有趣味了。

只要會下象棋，可以說三分鐘就能學會下揭棋。象棋高手和低手之间胜负几乎是没有悬念、变化很小，胜利永远是属于象棋高手的。揭棋三分靠运气、七分靠实力、高手和低手之间的胜负、变化很大，胜利属于那有准备有运气的人。

揭棋使用整個象棋棋盤，開始時除了帥、將可保留原位，不用洗亂之外，其他棋子亦要洗亂，然後放在平日正式象棋玩法的棋子位置中。揭棋的翻子需跟該棋子第一次移動同時進行，但該棋子的第一次移動的走法，需依照它的位置在一般中國象棋玩法時所在的棋子的走法。揭棋另一有趣之處是它容許了飛象過河、士過河。而揭棋的其他方面（一般走子、取勝條件等），都和象棋相同。

The first place team was US Central, an all-Vietnamese team from Houston. Second went to Calgary’s A team, and third to Houston.

The individual tournament was won by Oscar Peng (彭 佳 文) of the New York’s United East Chinese Chess Club (UECCC). Third went to Yogi Thang Do (杜 國 勝) of US Central. Zhi LianLi, who came second in the 2011 Toronto championship, finished 24th in this event.

Our contratulations to the prize-winners, and to all those who participated.

Below are the official results of the tournament.
