Last night, the Singapore Xiangqi General Association celebrated its 92nd Anniversary, the Inauguration Ceremony of its 40th Executive Committee, and the Prize Presentation Ceremony for the 4th “擎天杯” King of Xiangqi Championship. Past and present leaders, players and guests gathered to mark another milestone in SIXGA’s history.
Ninety-two years represents both a long history and a legacy passed from one generation to the next.
The evening began with an address by Permanent Honorary President Mr Sng Cheng Beng. This was followed by the inauguration of the 40th Executive Committee, with Dr Kong Jing Wen formally assuming office as the 40th President of the Singapore Xiangqi General Association and, together with the new Executive Committee, taking up the responsibility of leading SIXGA into its next chapter.
The 40th Executive Committee will continue to work towards three key goals: bringing Singapore Xiangqi onto the international stage, developing the next generation, and elevating the status of Xiangqi in society.
We hope to see more Singapore players competing on the international stage; more young people growing through Xiangqi, not only as stronger players but also as better individuals; and Xiangqi moving beyond community chess tables into schools, professional platforms and wider society.
On this special evening, we also paid tribute to the many seniors and friends who have supported SIXGA over the years.
Our special appreciation goes to former President Mr Lim Kwan How, who, together with generations of predecessors, helped build a strong foundation for Singapore Xiangqi. During the evening, Mr Lim was conferred the title of “Permanent Honorary President” in recognition of his longstanding contributions to Singapore Xiangqi.
Mr Boo Han Ting, Secretary-General of the 39th Executive Committee, and Mr Yi Hui Liew, Treasurer of the 39th Executive Committee, were each presented with the “Outstanding Contribution Award” in appreciation of their contributions during their term of office.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to Permanent Honorary Presidents Mr Sng Cheng Beng, Mr Lee Sit Seng and Mr Charles Oon; Honorary Presidents Ms Liang Peiling, Mr Leung Kai Wan, Mr Goh Test Soon, Mr Kho Long Huat and Mr Loh Chin Hwee Philip; our Master of Ceremonies and Honorary President Mr Chen Xunguang; and Honorary Adviser Ms Jennifer Lim, for their longstanding support and contributions to SIXGA.
We would also like to thank the Chairman of the Organising Committee for the evening, Mr Jacky See Yew Peng, as well as all members of the 40th Executive Committee, our players, parents, sponsors, partners, and everyone who has continued to support the Singapore Xiangqi General Association.
The Prize Presentation Ceremony for the 4th “擎天杯” King of Xiangqi Championship was also held during the evening. Congratulations to Mr Alvin Woo Tsung Han for emerging from a strong field to claim this year’s “擎天杯” title!
The celebrations continued with a charity fundraising segment and cultural performances, bringing a memorable evening for the Singapore Xiangqi community to a fitting close.
Our predecessors paved the way for us. The 40th Executive Committee will continue to extend that path for the next generation.
Through this Xiangqi board, let the world see Singapore Xiangqi.
Thank you to Lianhe Zaobao for shining a spotlight on Xiangqi in Singapore and on the next generation of young players.
AI can calculate faster and further, but Xiangqi has never been just about finding the “best move”. It teaches our young players to think independently, face both victory and defeat, respect their opponents, and have the courage to make decisions amid uncertainty.
This is why the Singapore Xiangqi General Association remains committed to youth development. We hope to introduce Xiangqi to more young people, provide pathways from schools to competitions and from the local to the international stage, and pass on the culture and wisdom of Xiangqi from one generation to the next.
This November, we look forward to seeing our young players compete and learn alongside players from around the world at the 2026 World Xiangqi Tournament Series in Singapore!
Read the Lianhe Zaobao feature: “When AI Can Calculate Further, Why Do Young Xiangqi Players Still Make Their Move?”
