Lin Yi-shih, secretary-general of the ROC Chinese Chess Association, hopes to see the Council for Cultural Affairs revive the Chungshan Cup. Says Lin, "Every time I travel abroad, people ask me when there'll be another Chungshan Cup." In Lin's opinion, it would be much easier for Chinese chess to become an Olympic event if both the government and private sector each organized a major international tournament.
