We will be participating in two competitions, one competition being held by Catholic Junior College, another one is Char Yong Cup. The CJC cup is held on 23 February 2013 and the Char Yong Cup is during the march holidays ( Some days are for preliminary rounds ). Hope to get strong players to join  as well.

A very Happy New Year to everyone who is reading this blog :D. Just to notify any juniors out there who are seeking for a CCA, do join us on 9th 11th January 2013 at Jurong JC CCA Open House.

On 18th November 2012, JJC club members participated in the Zong Xiang Cup 2012. It is a national individual competition and we are pleased to announce that Yi Hong managed to clinch the 14th position with a remarkable of 4.5 points out of the many 60 participants. Congratulations to him and well done in doing our school proud. Through this competition, we have exchanged pointers with good players from polytechnics and this is a precious chance for us to improve our chess skills.

Stay tuned to more news for JJC Open House and JJ Cup hosted by our own JJC club. Signing off now...

On 26th May 2012, we sent a total of 2 teams to NYP Cup and NTU cup. Competitions were fierce and we put up a strong front against our rivals. Although we didnt manage to win, I'm sure it had been a pleasant experience for all of us.

On 4th and 5th June 2012, a team of 4 plus a reserve participated in RI cup. We are pleased to announce that we are very close to clinching a place in top 3. In fact we can be considered as first runner-up! But no prize though. The top three winners are as follow:

1) Anderson Junior College
2) Hwa Chong Institution
3) Raffles Institution

Nevertheless, I am still glad that we can perform even though we faced strong opponents. :)

The results of PJC Cup 2012 are as follows:

Hi, this is Siang Meng from the '06 batch.

It seems that it has been quite some time since there is anyone updating the blog, so I might as well post a random question here.

As most people know, single 車 will draw with double 仕 and double 相.
But does anyone (expect Jun Yang) know that there is a special scenario in which single 車 can win?

(i try to type out the scenario in words)
from opponent's view, 將row1 col5, 仕row1 col6 and row2 col5, 相row1 col7 and row3 col9
from your view, 帅 仕相 default position, 車row9 col8 (in opponent's 象眼).
now it is red's turn.

This scenario may be a rare case but you never know when you might need it...
So might as well take sometime think about how to win. :)
