中国象棋国际版在京隆重发布

News Background

On 14th of July, 2017, a press conference was held by QiYou Organizing Committee and "QiYou" magazine in Beijing. Representatives from Pakistan, Malaysia, Ghana, Yemen and China showed up during the conference. Two events were announced on the press: one is the announcement of the establishment of "World Chess"; the other revealed that the 21st QiYou National Cup known as the First World Chess Grand Prix is going to be held in the autumn of 2017.
2017年7月14日，棋友杯常设组委会、《棋友》杂志社在北京召开新闻发布会。来自巴基斯坦、马来西亚、加纳、也门、中国等五个国家代表出席活动。会议郑重宣布了两件大事，一是宣告“世界象棋”光荣诞生；二是通知第二十一届棋友杯全国象棋暨首届世界象棋大奖赛将于2017年秋季隆重举行。


World Chess originates from Chinese Chess, which is widely adored by Chinese people all over the world.
中国象棋是中国人和世界各地华裔人群十分喜爱的棋类运动项目，世界象棋即产生于中国象棋。

立体棋子（中国象棋国际版）主要是方便于中国4-5周岁未到认字年龄的少儿及未学会汉字的外国友人学习象棋，（汉字难学），一段时间后认识汉字就改用平面棋子正常学棋。我们团队正在研发六个国家文字专门适合外国友人学习象棋的软件。这些都是将象棋文化海外推广落到实处，也能像国象一样发展到世界各国、得到世界知名品牌企业的青睐赞助！奖金、赛事等级达到国际正常标准水平，（国象国际赛事世界冠军500万美、欧元或人民币以上，国内一般赛事百万人民币；中象目前国际赛事冠军奖金最高一百万人民币，一般赛事只有万元，远远低于国际标准水平）中华瑰宝“象棋”要想在国际上和国象争一高低，必须得到所有热爱象棋的各位老师的大力支持及帮助！我坚信只要我们所有真正热爱象棋的国人团结一致，中华瑰宝“象棋”一定会在全球大放光彩、造福全球！

In order to make it convenient for people from all over the world to play it, Chinese Chess predecessor, "QiYou" magazine chief editor, and chess honor association master Mr. Shi Yi, together with "QiYou" magazine president Miss Shi Qiuli and vice president Mr. Yang Guoneng, made a research and finally decided to change the original circular plane Chinese-character chess pieces to the three-dimensional graphics, and made some changes to the number of pieces, variety and record methods. Therefore, Chinese ancient chess eventually became the new chess sport, named "World Chess". Thus, more and more people all over the world could feel the extensive and profound Chinese Chess culture.
现为方便于世界各国非华裔人群共同参与，由中国棋坛前辈大家、《棋友》杂志总编辑石毅先生首创，《棋友》杂志社社长石秋励女士、副社长杨国能先生共同研究决定，改变其原有的平面汉字图形为国际象棋的立体图形，并对其棋子数量、品种、记录方法加以改动，从而成为一种新的棋类运动项目，定名为“世界象棋”。因此可以让全世界更多的人感受到中国象棋文化的博大精深。


Chinese Chess

Generated in the period of time of feudal, Chinese Chess reflects the social order and the ethics of class. Because of the differences in themes, the spirit of eastern national culture based on Confucianism is affecting the art and theory of Chinese Chess, while for chess, it incarnates the spirit of western national culture surrounded by religion.
象棋产生于封建时期，它全息地映射着封建的社会秩序和等级伦理。由于各自植根的沃壤不同，中国象棋的艺术和棋理折射着以儒家思想为正统的东方民族文化精神；国际象棋的内蕴则、体现着宗教笼罩下的西方民族文化精神。
 
Chinese Chess was confirmed to appear in China in 569 AD firstly according to Yugoslavia historian Bilijv's book, "Chinese Chess----the symbol of the universe", and after that the Chinese Chess is spread gradually.
1972年南斯拉夫历史学家比吉夫的专著《象棋－宇宙的象征》断定象棋首先出现在公元569年的中国，然后才逐渐传播开来。
 
Chinese Chess contains the spirit of eastern national culture, it is a game filled with strategy and wisdom, and it is also considered as an entertaining match among modern Chinese people. If you get the chance to walk deep into the local community in China, you may see many old people gathering to play Chinese Chess together with joy and they "fight" with each other “morosely”.
在象棋中包含着东方民族文化精神，是饱含着谋略与智慧的游戏，也是现代国人休闲娱乐的一种游戏。如果你深入中国的大街小巷，也许会看见几个老爷爷乐哈哈地围着象棋的棋盘，看着对弈的两个人苦哈哈
地“作战”。
 
World Chess
1.What does World Chess look like?

The picture above exactly shows the look of World Chess. The rules of this chess are just the same with those of Chinese Chess, but the size and the shape of the pieces are different. Three-Dimensional senses are helpful in developing teenagers' interests of playing it, while the new coordinates and the introduction book of Chess in English has the benefit of helping teenagers understand it, which make the World Chess spread abroad. This aims to promote Chinese Chess and make this treasure, which helps people develop intelligence, contribute to the world.
以上为实物图，除了形状和大小与中国象棋不同，走法与规则均一模一样。世界象棋的"立体观"利于培养海外青少年兴趣，"新坐标"利于海外青少年理解和记忆，"英译入门棋谱"利于在海外青少年中传播(汉字难学)，此举意在将象棋海外推广落到实处，将修身益智的瑰宝"象棋"造福全球。

 
2.How does the World Chess work?


32 pieces from Black camp and White camp can be found in a World Chess. Each camp has 16 pieces with 7 kinds.

3.The advantages and meanings of learning World Chess.
Chinese culture is broad and profound. Thanks to President Xi's Belt and Road initiative, Chinese culture is going abroad. In the future, there will be lots of chances and challenges and we believe that the birth of World Chess is a milestone in history.
中华文化博大精深，在习近平主席一带一路理念的倡导下，中华文化正在逐步走出国门，未来也将有众多的机遇与挑战，相信世界象棋的诞生将是历史性的一刻。
