IHRG Update – Chinese Chess

JANUARY 7 2009

The Hall 4 Chinese Chess Team, finalists at last year’s Inter-Hall Recreation Games Tournament, will not be seeded in next year’s tournament. This follows a dismal showing in the hall’s best shot to win a medal in the recreational games tournament, as Chinese Chess is indeed its strongest segment.

While the team managed to win 3 halls, it drew 2 games and lost against 2 other halls, thereby only managing to win a quarter-finals placing but not the semi-finals.

However, all is not lost as this year’s team is predominantly made up of junior players, who will definitely display marked improvement following more intense training over the next year. We will certainly be back much stronger next year!
