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.
