Talk:C. C. Wei

Latest comment: 9 years ago by P64 in topic WBF identity

Identity edit

Wei is not identified by the Library of Congress (no LCCN), hence not at WorldCat (no auto-generated homepage, as we link in the footer of most English-language writer biographies).

Direct LC search (now 3 hits)

Section C. C. Wei#Books (7 works) is compiled from direct searches at LCCat and WorldCat and from internet search for Wei and Andersen in various fashions (because I know the 4-book series vaguely).

WBF identity edit

C. C. Wei is not adequately identified by the World Bridge Federation.

  • "International record for Chuo WEI-CHI". World Bridge Federation. (one External link in the article).

This gives a Playing Record, teams only, comprising 1972 Olympiad ("China"), 1982 Rosenblum ("Chang", below), 1999 World Youth and 2000 World University (both "Chinese Taipei"). Presumably 1972 is npc or playing captain. Certainly 1999/2000 is someone else.

Other Team Events Positions shows him

  1. "China" npc in the 1964 Olympiad seems likely; if true it belongs in this article (with info whether the team used "China bidding system" wholly or partly). I doubt that "C.s. SHEN" is the only 1964 player who returned in 1969 or later. Perhaps "K.H. HWANG" or "K.m.HWANG" (1964 China) is "Patrick K.H. Huang" or "Frank Huang" (1969 Taiwan; 1971 Taiwan; 1972 China). See also Patrick Huang in OEB.
  2. Taiwan npc 1969, famously, and 1971. Presumably true.
  3. not the Taiwan captain in 1970, with a 5-man team led by npc David Yp MAO (1970 Taiwan), who had been 1964 coach, below. (We now list Mao a Taiwan player in the 1970 Bermuda Bowl.)
  4. 1981 Venice npc with Ron Andersen coach is probably true. Wei-Andersen were a partnership then. Note this shows his wife Kathie Wei playing with Judi Radin, teammates of Kennedy-Sanders. 1981 USA women

His sole record is playing with Michael Radin and Kennedy-Sanders on 1982 Rosenblum team WEI, same tournament Chuo WEI-CHI played on team CHANG. Offhand it seems plausible to me if he is the brother of C.C. or the son of C.C. and Kathie Wei.
