Chess Variant Tournament in the Detroit, Michigan
My name is David Lame.I discovered the game of Xiangqi about a year ago, and find that I quite enjoy it. I have been playing Chess for some time, but did not pick up Xiangqi until I read an article about it on a Chess variants page. I like it well enough that I am trying to introduce it to some Chess players in the Detroit, Michigan area. In order to do that, I am holding a tournament that will feature Xiangqi and other Asian Chess games (Shogi and Makruk). The event itself will be rather modest. I do not expect thousands to attend, but I am hoping that by introducing it at a small event, interest might build. More details of the event can be fount at http://gamesinmichigan.com/varianttourneyFeel free to ask any questions. Email : dave@gamesinmichigan.com Phone : 248-543-1930

Self introduction
My name is Victor Liu, and I'm 15 years old. I immigrated to Toronto with my parents in 2001. I started learning Chinese chess when I was 5. At 6, I participated in Harbin抯 Chinese Chess Competition, and I was seventh in the junior group. At 7, I placed first in the same competition.In 2003, I read about the Chinese Chess Association on the newspaper, and it revived my interest in Chinese chess. I participated in many more events organized by the association thereafter, and was first in the junior division several times.Chinese chess not only enhanced my logical thinking skills, it also helped with my school work. It has also influenced my achievements in math, science, and computing.Chinese chess has become an important hobby of mine, and I have made many friends from it. Chinese chess has already become a part of my life.
