The 6th "Haixin Cup" Chess Open of Ningbo was held at the Cultural Center of Gulin Town of Yinzhou District on May 6, attracting about 70 players of Chinese chess from the chess clubs of the districts or counties and some chess teams from Gulin Town and Baiyun Street. After a day's competition, Qiu Dong, a national chess master, won the first place with an all-win result, and the second and third places went to Yu Weilong and Li Ding respectively.

"I'm quite fond of playing chess, the chess playing online is not my cup of tea. I just like playing face to face." said Wang Haichao, who have founded and financed the competition for the past six years. He hopes to provide a platform for the chess players to communicate with each other.  "I take part in the competition each year, and I even entered the top eight last year. It is now part of my life, and I'm quite content with my state." he added
