I found interesting statement by WMM CEO Don Morris is included in the news release WMM made on January 13, 2009.
World Mind Masters Introduces New Monthly Online Tournaments (pdf file)
"We also have plans to develop the world's first free online learning environment for intellectual mind sports - the World Mind Masters Academy - offering online players the opportunity to participate in interactive master classes, and eventually the chance for the best players to compete for university scholarships,"
Although this statement is included in the release of their monthly Xiangqi tournament for 2009, the stated online learning environment does not seem to be limited to Xiangqi only since "intellectual mind sports" are in the plural and their mission is not limited to Xiangqi only.
