The Genesis of Agess Chess

The Seed in my heart.


Long ago, back in my childhood, I was introduced to the world of Chinese Chess(華文棋). As time passed, starting around 1965, I developed a strong aversion to gambling, especially when I witnessed Chinese Chess being used for gambling purposes such 
as "Pai Gow (牌九)" or "Dark Chess (暗棋)".

I found that “Western Chess” and “Eastern/Chinese Chess” corresponded to each other in many ways. However, in the early 1970s, a new chapter unfolded in my life when I stumbled upon Western Chess. Surprisingly, This discovery sparked an idea in my mind - why not merge the worlds of Eastern and Western chess together?
With this idea in mind, I delved into the origins of various forms of all kind chess, scouring through numerous books and documents in search of answers.

However, to my considerable disappointment, the more I searched, the more perplexed I became; various claims and viewpoints conflicted with each other, leaving me stranded at a crossroads in a fog of confusion, unable to distinguish
between East and West.

It left me disheartened, and I reluctantly abandoned my quest for answers.
It wasn't until the tranquil night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2015 that everything changed.
In a dreamlike state, the seed that had been dormant in my heart for over 40 years suddenly sprouted; Agess Chess was born.
