why China needs to follow Asian Xiangqi rules when playing in .....International events ?
I may not agree with all the views from 棋儒, same for you too.
Of course, we are not in the positions to talk about the skill upgrade areas etc but 国家棋手代表的棋品形象 is our concerns, personally, I also feel that you still have a lot to learn in these areas, especially, you will be the example for young players with your new title of 特级大师.
We should not compare with the local events and conclude that we are not "right" because China xiangqi professionals are not doing it.
Do you know, in 2005 Lion City Cup, a few China players were asked not to move around in the competition area.
Organisers should know their priorities better.
i agree that there is a need to constantly upgrade in that area espiecially....
since i have upgraded my rank. However from my view i do not understand why we are not able to even view our teammates games during team events. China players were asked to sit down because they are in Singapore. It's a Singaporean Rule not an international rule. We should be given the right to view other people's games in order to decide how to continue playing. Whether to take a more defensive or offensive approach. Than to me it would be considered more like a team event.
