WORLD MIND MASTERS DECLARES CHINESE NEW YEAR ONLINE XIANGQI TOURNAMENT NULL AND VOID 世界智力大师宣布新春象棋赛比赛成绩无效 World Mind Masters (WMM) today announced that the results of the New Year Online Xiangqi Tournament, which ended on February 15th , would be treated as invalid and the tournament declared null and void. World Mind Masters (WMM) today announced that the results of the New Year Online Xiangqi Tournament, which ended on February 15th , would be treated as invalid and the tournament declared null and void. 世界智力大师（以下简称“WMM”）今天宣布于2009年2月15日结束的新春象棋赛比赛成绩无效。 “As a result of complaints from a number of loyal and concerned players, a large number of games played during the tournament were referred to the WMM games committee and judges for review,” commented WMM CEO Don Morris. “We are disappointed that the judges’ review clearly showed that some players have employed dishonest tactics and given themselves an unfair advantage by choosing to behave in a manner that is not consistent with the traditions of the great game of Xiangqi. These tactics include creation of false online identities, individual players using two computers to play multiple games against themselves, and the intentional cutting of Internet connections. This group of dishonest players have spoiled the single-level points-based tournament for those who entered with a genuine desire to compete against each other on a level playing field. For this reason we are unable to award prizes in a fair way to genuine players. As a consequence, and in consultation with our judges, we have decided to roll over the US$1,000 prize fund and sponsored Argenti watches into our next tournament in March,” Morris added. “As a result of complaints from a number of loyal and concerned players, a large number of games played during the tournament were referred to the WMM games committee and judges for review,” commented WMM CEO Don Morris. “We are disappointed that the judges’ review clearly showed that some players have employed dishonest tactics and given themselves an unfair advantage by choosing to behave in a manner that is not consistent with the traditions of the great game of Xiangqi.

WMM will be sending an email to all its registered players alerting them to the presence of dishonest players and asking them to leave their comments on any suspect games they have played or observed during the tournament in the blog section of WMM’s website. All games played on the WMM website www.worldmindmasters.com since 2005 up to midnight on February 15th are available for review in the games hall area of the website. 731 players registered for the tournament and played a total of 4,512 games over four weeks.

Players have to battle their way through levels to attain ranking and points ratings, with opponents randomly selected by the system and games won or lost on the basis of speed and skill,” added Morris. “We will shortly be announcing details of our Online Spring Tournament which will be played on the same software system used for WMM’s annual World Xiangqi Masters Tournament, which we have run successfully online since 2005,” said Morris. “Our Masters Tournament software is designed to reward sophisticated play and talented players.
