Chess will be included in the 16th Asian Games to be held in Guangzhou, China next month. The tournament will start on 13th November to 26th November. There will be individual as well as team events with four gold medals at stake. I suppose that means there will be men and women sections for each event.

As usual, our Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF) is silent on this. I think both Mas and Mok are the only sure bets for the individual event. Maybe they will send the 2010 Olympiad team?

China is very strong in WeiQi (Go) and Xiangxi (Chinese Chess) so there is no surprise to see that both these games also feature in the Games.
