Singapore Weiqi Association
- Singapore Weiqi Association
The Singapore Weiqi Association (Chinese: 新加坡围棋协会 Pinyin:Xīnjiāpō Wéiqí Xiéhuì) is a Go association in Singapore, with the aim to improve the skills of the Go players in Singapore. To achieve its objective, professional players from China are hired to conduct lessons, and tournaments are regularly organized. Amateur players in Singapore can have their rank assessed by the association; it awards rank diplomas up to 6 "dan". For international exposure and networking, the association sends players to participate in international competitions such as World Amateur Go Championship and World Youth Goe Championship. Currently, the association has two clubhouses: the main clubhouse in Bishan and the city clubhouse in Bugis. Both clubhouses are air-conditioned.
The current chairman is Tan Teng Chuan (Chinese:陈丁川 Pinyin:Chén Dīng Chuān). The association was founded in 1981, then activities took place at the Ulu Pandan Community Center. For a number of years, the Singapore Weiqi Association received support from the Ing Foundation.
The Singapore Weiqi Association has successfully hosted several inter-country tournaments. Currently, it is hosting the Asian qualifying tournament for the Toyota/Denso Oza Championship. It also organized the Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand Weiqi Friendship Tournament in 2006. In 1999, the 16th World Youth Goe Championship was also hosted in Singapore, which was notable at that period of time.
