The Chinese Chess Institute
The Chinese Chess Institute is an organization that sells books and
leaflets on Chinese Chess and gives information about Chinese Chess.
Dave Woo of the CCI send me their leaflets, of which I here repeat some
information.
Xiangqi Review
The CCI publishes C.C.I. Xiangqi Review, a periodical on
Xiangqi in English, which appeared first in 1990. The leaflet writes:
Each issue gives you the latest news, reports and statistics of
worldwide master events, games to study, basics for beginners, and
problems that are fun to solve.
Subscription is $10 per year for subscribers in the U.S. and Canada, and
$15 for others, including first class postage (air mail overseas). There
are six bimonthly issues in a year. Back issues can be obtained for
respectively $2.50 and $3 (US/Canada - Overseas).
Chinese Chess Books
The CCI sells several books on Xiangqi. About all are in Chinese. Prices
are between $7.50 and $15. Many contain collections of games, but there
are also books on strategy and openings (11 different titles in total.)
All Chinese texts are shipped with a free Chinese-English general
translation guide.
Two books in English are in preparation. One is called The First
Book of Chinese Chess and is scheduled for September 1997. The
other is called The C.C.I. XiangQi Survival Quide and scheduled
for the end of 1997. This first book is meant for beginners; the second
seems more advanced (from the description.)
The C.C.I. Tournament Series
24 booklets of different sizes are sold, giving games of specific
Xiangqi tournaments.
