What are the chances of getting a purely Asian game selected as an official Olympic event? It would not be unprecedented. Japan successfully promoted judo at the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and Korea's taekwondo will soon become an official Olympic event as well. Says Wu, "There is no reason why Chinese chess can't become an Olympic event."
至於純粹的東方運動發展成奧運競賽項目的可能性有多大，吳經國舉一九六四年日本將柔道成功推向奧委會、韓國推動的跆拳道也即將成為正式比賽為例，認為「象棋當然有機會成為奧運項目。」
