Self introduction

My name is Victor Liu, and I'm 15 years old. I immigrated to Toronto with my parents in 2001. I started learning Chinese chess when I was 5. At 6, I participated in Harbin抯 Chinese Chess Competition, and I was seventh in the junior group. At 7, I placed first in the same competition.

In 2003, I read about the Chinese Chess Association on the newspaper, and it revived my interest in Chinese chess. I participated in many more events organized by the association thereafter, and was first in the junior division several times.

Chinese chess not only enhanced my logical thinking skills, it also helped with my school work. It has also influenced my achievements in math, science, and computing.

Chinese chess has become an important hobby of mine, and I have made many friends from it. Chinese chess has already become a part of my life.
