Your correspondence games →Sixty-one games from the Division A qualifier.
China's top xiangqi league runs its qualifier in Hangzhou every August, and this year's three rounds are now here to replay in English, with the club names and the players romanized. Ten clubs, four boards a match, and an engine a click away on any position. The league itself starts in September.

Nineteen editions since 1990, eleven winners, and a title that stayed in China until last September. Every champion, an annotated game for ten of them, and the reason the Chinese national championship is the harder one to win.
