I am wondering how many of you can play Chinese Chess?
I am making out a programme, over the Christmas period, for the Scholar project for 2011.
Among other things I would like to begin a Chinese Chess tournament within the Shaolin Wahnam Family. Beginnning with regional heats and then International.
You can leave your name and experience, following this post please. It should be good FUN

I learned to play Chinese Chess while living in China.
I am a beginner.
Doing a quick internet search, I found that there were a number of on-line websites that gave tutorials and allowed one to play against other opponents around the world. I wonder if any of these websites would allow us to set up a private tournament? I will research this when I get some time.
At any rate, count me in. It will be a great skill to develop, and those lucky enough may get an opportunity to sit down with Sifu one day and play a game.
Thank you for your lovely comments and enthusiasm.
A private online tournament would be excellent Charles, thank you for your very kind offer of checking that out for me.
The other option would be to have students meet up in their own regions, countries and then internationally to play each other....live.
e.g
If there are 10 students in Ireland who can play, they meet up and play to find the overall winner in Ireland (same for all countries)
The winner from each country compete against each other. A draw is held to decide who plays who. Quarter finals, Semi finals and Final.
The overall winner is given a very nice prize and has the option to teach 'new' students during special Scholar project weekends and paid for doing so.
So right now..............all I know is that Charles can play (beginner) and Kevin and Brendan would like to learn.
Do we have anybody else from the other Shaolin Wahnam countries?
The Scholar projects so far have been lots of fun, and this will be no exception, I promise!
Smile from the Heart,
Joan

I play Chinese chess and at the moment teaching/playing with my 2 boys of 10 and 8 respectively. I enjoy losing the games to them.
I still recall the only competitive games in my second year in University when I was forced to represent the class (not that I was good but there were only a few to choose from). I can't remember how I fared but know for sure I did not even enjoy winning. That was first and last time I participated in a chess competition. Since then I only played every occasionally, may be a game or two in a year. I think I am still a beginner and may progress to the intermediate stage with some more training.
I would love to play my Wahnam family but probably not in a formal competition.
"Then how could chi kung overcome diseases where the cause is unknown or when there is no cure? The question is actually incorrect. The expressions "the cause is unknown" and "there is no cure" are applicable only in the Western medical paradigm. The expressions no longer hold true in the chi kung paradigm. In the chi kung paradigm the cause is known, and there is a cure."
It is good to get an overall view of people's abilities, then we are in a better position to organise different events.
So
1)If you can already play please let me know. Please mention if you can play well or just beginning.
2) If you wish to learn how to play, please let me know also.
3) If you just wish to play outside of competition, please also let me know.
4) If you are not a Shaolin Wahnam student but interested in learning or playing, please also let me know.
All Scholar projects are open to Shaolin Wahnam students and non members.
So lets have fun whether it is playing in competition, playing with your friends or learning. We have many options to choose from
