The recent three 国家队挑战赛 have surfaced a few issues for the future too :

(A) The selection of 国家队

(B) The training of 国家队

发展方向与未来三至五年的中期与长期训练计划

车马费的安排

back-up for 国家队 : 国家挑战一队， 国家挑战二队， 国家挑战三队， 国家挑战四队 ....., in fact Round the Year Competition / Training should be held, say for a group of not less than 10 or not more than 20 Top players, then a Round Robin system could be used to assess them once or twice a year, i.e. say about one serious game per week for the selected players.

etc etc etc ....
