Happy new year of Tiger to all our Chinese friends and players. The 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger. Great interpersonal relationships, family oriented, courage, assertiveness and natural leadership. Tigers are hungry for thrill and crave for attention. Let's review the Tiger Grandmasters.

The last Water Tiger year was 1962. Other recent years include 1950 and 2010's Metal Tiger, 1974 and 2034's Wood Tiger, 1926 and 1986's Fire Tiger and 1938 and 1998's Earth Tiger.

Those born during a Tiger Year are said to possess some of the qualities of the animal itself, including courageous, assertive and natural leaders. Tiger signs are said to be hungry for thrill and crave for attention, not to mention short tempered but capable generosity. 

Chinese zodiacs are based on the Heavenly Stems and Branches system, which coordinates one of five elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) to each Tiger Year on a rotating basis. That means every 60 years, one element will apply to the  Zodiac sign and have certain personality traits associated with it.
