9th WC Game Records

| After checking about one-third of the games from the 9th World Cup
event, we found that the percentage of games (not counting numerous
flaws on names of the players) containing errors is a little above 10%.
It would make this cycle the worst.
But, being the first cycle held outside of Asia, with limited
resources, reduced working staff and increased number of rounds, the
result should be as expected.
The integrity of the game records should be a topic for the main Asian
organizers to reckon with and seek improvement on. The CCI's opinion
is that all official game records and databases should be thoroughly
checked.
There appears to be another school of thinking preached in the
newsgroup that XiangQi game records and databases are just for 'fun'
and nobody should be that 'serious' about them. We strongly
disagree. It's far more 'fun' to go over correct and complete
records and the students can get more 'knowledge' from them.

| I agree with Mr. Woo.
In this newsgroup in "Checkmate - the lost opportunities! The WXC 9th
episode" there's a game of an Italian player (Trombettoni Andrea) vs Mr.
Yamada
It seems Trombettoni can checkmate in 6 but I think that position is wrong
(Andrea is going to control today).
Maybe there's a solution we can get from International chess.
In important tournament they adopt electronic chessboards that record
automatically the players move.
Since we had 70 male players and 14 female players WXF could have bought 42
electronic chessboard.
Now China is building and assembling most of nowdays computers people uses
the world over.
We know that product cost in China are very cheap so I think the solution of
adopting electronic move recording boards
is not impossible.
