The center stage has been in mainland china for last few years, and it is hard for westerner to know what is going on there. It is all in chinese. Take a look at this site www.movesky.net it does have a english version, but unfortunetly very limited, chinese versin have a lot more news and events there. This is the premier site for advanced chinese chess players, include many of the professional masters and grandmasters. My chinese chess program, mrsj, has been playing in that site for some time. It has set a few records there, and it won twice for its LeiSheng Tournament, and is the current defending LeiSheng. That tournament works like this. Only the top 32 players in the server can partispate in a 7 round two-games swiss tournament, the first place finisher then challenge the defending champion. The time control is 30 minutes free time, then 1 minutes per move. From the tournaments, and all other games my program played there, All experts agreed that mrsj have the proformance of China's group B level. In China, the natinal individual tournament has been divide to two groups, group A usually about 24 people, and was the strongest, group B, again from 24-48 people. Giving the dominence of China at Chinese chess, one can safely guess that my program, running on a standard pc, was at around world 100th, if not 50th, place. I don't think that chess program is much advance than that. Computer chinese chess is not behind than what computer chess has, not even a inch. Ren.
