Chinese Chess at SOAS, London, 13th Nov

| At the "Asia: Body Mind Spirit" open day at the School of Oriental and
African Studies tomorrow there will be, among other things, Go, Shogi
and Chinese Chess sets available for people to use.
Some Go and Shogi players are coming, and it would be nice if some
Chinese Chess players could come too. I know the rules, but play very
badly. It might be nice for passers-by to be able to watch people who
knew what thy were doing playing all three games. You'd probably need
to be willing to put up with being asked "What are you doing?", "How
does this work?" etc. whilst playing.
The event is at the Brunei Gallery (and adjacent cafe'), School
of Oriental and African Studies, near Russell Square, London, UK
from 11am to about 4.30pm on the 13th of November 2004.
Is there a British Chinese Chess association of some kind? Does it
have leaflets I could give to curious people at events like this?

Too bad you sent your e-mail on such short notice. To your question,
there is indeed one, in London no less. It meets regularly on weekends in
London's Chinese community neighborhood (I forgot its location; however, I
was there on a couple of occasions, and was introduced to C. K. Lai, its
driving force, back in 1995). C. K. is indeed the person you need to
contact. Given that it is already 1 pm London time Saturday, Nov 13, I'll
give you his e-mail address and hope you can get in touch with him. The
e-mail address is cklailai@aol.com
CK appears to have a notebook computer. I recall sending him an e-mail
last December to the above address; by then, he had already left London.
Later, I met him in Hong Kong for the 8th World Xiangqi Championship (C.K.
led the UK delegation, as he has been doing for years), who apologized for
not responding to mine earlier. Good luck.
