in Computer: I am a veteran in IT. I have graduated from university in China
and get bachelor degree computer science for more than 20 years. Also I finished
the master courses of System Science in University of Ottawa in 2005.
Such as HTML,XML,JAVA, DOT NET and other web technology all are very easy to me.
I used JavaScript technology to benefit the website of 2003 Canada Open in
Kapuskasing. I also help the Nadeau
family to make the live games over the Internet which is the 1st time Canada
Open has the live games online. That time it definitely does have Monroi
technology in Canada.
My Chess background: I was a NM of China and love to train kids chess. I
established Ottawa Youth Chess Club in 2002 and many Ottawa kids got the
benefits from there. Some of them already reached the CFC rating around 2200.
Those kids like Glen Barber(20 years old boy), Sammy Yao(18 years old boy),
Karoly Szalay(15 years old boy), my daughter, Yuanling Yuan (13 years old girl)
and Ziyi Qin (Joey）(11 years old boy) frequently play CFC and FQE tournament and
many others kids play CMA chess. A
couple of kids, such as Derek Jia, Yuanling Yuan, Karoly Szalay, Glen Barber and
Gabriel Brown have represented Canada to play the WYCC since the year 2003."
