Xiangqi (or Chinese Chess)

Mr. Ho also likes to play Xiangqi (commonly known as Chinese chess or elephant chess) in his leisure time.  His wife bought him a very beautiful, high-class, and expensive chess set for his birthday gift.  This chess set arrived at Mr. Ho's home about one week before his birthday in the year of 2023.  He then played two games of Xiangqi with his father-in-law after dinner until his father-in-law passed away in the year of 2025.  After that, his wife always sits next to him in front of the computer watching him play online Xiangqi games after every dinner.

Every once in a while, Mr. Ho likes to spend his leisure time participating in Xiangqi events.  On Saturday, February 15th, 2025 and Sunday, February 16th, 2025, Mr. Ho was a contestant of the 2025 First Markham Cup, which was the Xiangqi International Invitation Championship.  Here are the  photos from when he was competing against his opponents in the 2025 First Markham Cup:
