Friendship is No.1 and game is No.2. More and more people around the world like to play Chinese Chess (Xiangqi), such happy movement, this also has been accelerated by the First World Mind Sports Game Beijing 2008. Chinese Chess not only has made the international players happy, but also grown the friendships between them and Chinese people, and between their countries and China.

At the end of 2008, Michael Chung had found that many other countries and regions had got many good Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) websites, but there was no Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) website in Australia. Australia is a prosperous and developed country but no one Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) website, "how did the people of other countries and regions think of us?" Michael Chung could not accept this and he was not feeling nice as he is Xiangqi lover in Australia. So Michael Chung talked with the Managing President of Australian Chinese Chess Association George Lu (Xiangqi Grand Master) about this and was happy to work together for the First Australian Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) website for Australian Chinese Chess Association. Hence they had decided to open the First Australian Chinese Chess website "http://www.australianchinesechess.org" on 1 January 2009 to help more and more Aussies to play Chinese Chess, and of course, to make them happy, to grow the friendships between them and Chinese people, and between Australia and China.

And Michael Chung hopes that there are many better and better Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) websites in Australia in the future.

Originally, Australian Chinese Chess Website was originally formed for a non-profit organisation "Australian Chinese Chess Association" to fill a community need for healthy activity and grow friendships between people.

From 1 January 2009 to 1 May 2011, Grand Master George Lu has supported the website annual fees, Michael Chung has supported the works mostly as volunteer, and Wu Qingkai also has done some works as well.

Grand Master George Lu had been the Managing President of Australian Chinese Chess Association for three terms from 2006 to 1 May 2011, and so he decided to stop running for any more election for the next term. On 1 May 2011, the new management and executive committee of Australian Chinese Chess Association was elected and decided to give up "Australian Chinese Chess Association Website" by its meeting, Grand Master George Lu received this notice from Australian Chinese Chess Association by its new elected Executive Vice President Mr Paul Xu as representative. From 1 May 2011, "Australian Chinese Chess Association Website" has been changed to "Australian Chinese Chess Website", it is independent of Australian Chinese Chess Association, and it does not belong to any Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) organisation. "Australian Chinese Chess Website" is now running as a Blog to report all news and activities of Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) in Australia, the famous Xiangqi Grand Master Cai Furu will be the Honorary Adviser, Grand Master George Lu will continue to support the website annual fees, and Michael Chung will continue to be the volunteer to support the website construction to serve the Xiangqi community for healthy activity and grow friendships between people.

"Australian Chinese Chess Website" is a non-profit, non-religious, non-political platform of Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) Community in Australia. "Australian Chinese Chess Website" focuses on reporting Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) activities for public welfare, developing relationship with other Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) communities nationally and internationally, promoting Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) culture and activities, and building friendship between Australia and China.
