Veteran chess fans all know that the chess world looks very calm and harmonious on the surface, but behind it is often a dark tide of turbulence and strife, a group of top chess players in order to divide the small cake of chess at all costs to pull gangs and factions to fight openly and secretly, of course, this is also a more normal thing, under the temptation of fame and fortune, who does not salivate? Although the chess world is not big, it is also a literal jianghu, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be disputes, and these disputes include both the fights between the teams and the fights between individuals! Overall, the strife in the chess world for more than half a century has been extremely fierce, but it has to be admitted that it is these fierce disputes that have made the sport of chess forever young and popular to this day! In the battle between dragons and tigers in the chess world, some chess players are lucky to stand out and gain fame and fortune, while some chess players have no name for half their lives, which makes people sigh!
Even before 1956, that is, before chess was included in the regular sports competitions, the competition in the chess world was uninterrupted and extremely fierce, and the competition in the chess world at that time was mainly the competition between the southern chess world and the northern chess world, the main representative figures were naturally Yang Guanxuan, Chen Songshun, Wang Jialiang, He Shun'an and Xu Tianli, etc. The self-taught Yang Guanxuan was one of the best! Around 1952, Yang Guanxuan's chess skills gradually reached its peak, looking at the chess world has been difficult to find a matching opponent, in 1953, Yang Guanxuan defeated the fierce enemy Chen Songshun with a slight advantage in the Juban Chess Battle with a net victory, thus becoming the undisputed first person in the Guangzhou chess world. The belligerent Yang Guanxuan immediately rushed to Shanghai, just arrived in Shanghai, According to the heart of the desire to fight, Yang Guanxuan immediately and Shanghai's first master He Shun'an came to a ten-legged chess battle, and finally Yang Guanxuan achieved an undefeated record of five victories and five sums, thus Yang Guanxuan, who conquered the Shanghai chess world, naturally became the first master of the southern chess world!
Would the ambitious Yang Guanxuan be willing to be only the first master of the southern chess world? In order to unify the rivers and lakes, in the spring of 1954, Yang Guanxuan burned the war to Beijing, when the top chess players in beijing, Xie Xiaoran and Hou Yushan, because they cherished feathers, did not dare to face Yang Guanxuan, but sent Yang Changsheng, Song Jingdai and Zhang Xiongfei, who had poor chess skills, to "send people's heads". The news that Yang Guanxuan had killed four parties in the Beijing chess world was soon shocked by Wang Jialiang, who had returned to Shandong from Harbin to visit his relatives, and in order to vent his anger for the northern chess world, Wang Jialiang immediately turned around and went to Beijing, but who knows, Wang Jialiang who arrived in Beijing was eventually killed by Yang Guanlu for five consecutive defeats! However, Wang Jialiang, who lost chess, also learned a lot of lessons, which laid the foundation for him to be able to call himself "King of Southern Yang and Northern Yang" in the future! There is no doubt that Yang Guanxuan, who won a great victory in the northern chess world, officially became the first person in the Chinese chess world at that time!
In 1956, the National Sports Commission included chess in the official sports program and held the first national chess individual competition in Beijing. After a fierce battle, Yang Guanxuan, He Shun'an, Li Yiting, Liu Yici, Hou Yushan and Wang Jialiang entered the final, and they will compete in five rounds of double round robin to compete for the first national championship in the new Chinese chess industry, and the significance of this championship is self-evident. The biggest probability of winning the championship is naturally Yang Guanxuan, especially after defeating the fierce enemy He Shun'an in the first round, people in the chess industry believe that the champion is no longer Yang Guanxuan! However, there was an unexpected storm in the sky, and in the fourth round, Yang Guanxuan unexpectedly lost to Wang Jialiang, and the house leaked in the overnight rain, and in the first round of the last round, Yang Guanxuan was captured by Li Yiting. Yang Guanxuan's successive failures made Wang Jialiang lead the crowd with a one-point advantage, and the championship was in sight!
In the last game of chess, as long as Wang Jialiang can make peace with his opponents, the champion is naturally his! Wang Jialiang also believes that his opponent He Shun'an is in poor health and has no hope of achieving a good ranking, so he will not fight with him, so Wang Jialiang is quite confident in the final battle! However, Wang Jialiang ignored the horror of human nature, before the decisive battle, Yang Guanxuan found He Shun'an, hoping that He Shun'an could do his best to block Wang Jialiang, He Shun'an agreed without saying a word, after all, he owed Yang Guanxuan a favor (He Shun'an had a bad development and financial theft when he went to Hong Kong in 1950 to make a living, and Yang Guanxuan helped him get out of the predicament when his life was difficult). In the final battle with Wang Jialiang, He Shun'an, who was not in good health, fought with twelve points of spirit and held the illness for 7 hours, and in the end, Wang Jialiang, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was suddenly defeated by He Shun'an, and Yang Guanxuan defeated Li Yiting, thus Yang Guanxuan won the championship and Wang Jialiang was the runner-up.
It is precisely because of the loss of the championship in this individual competition that Wang Jialiang has an aversion to He Shun'an, and also scorns the behavior of "hugging the group for warmth" and "mutually related photos" between southern chess players! Hating Wu and Wu, Wang Jialiang also imposed his dislike for He Shun'an on He Shun'an's apprentice Hu Ronghua, in the individual competitions of the sixties, Hu Ronghua lost to Wang Jialiang several times, it was precisely because Wang Jialiang used the secret weapons he studied on Hu Ronghua's body, in the 1965 individual competition, Hu Ronghua won Wang Jialiang's set, but was accused by Wang Jialiang of using the game, Wang Jialiang finally chose to appeal to the referee! From 1966 to 1973, due to the interruption of the chess game, the feud between Wang Jialiang and the southern chess players was temporarily shelved!
However, in the 1980 individual competition, when Hu Ronghua, who was unfavorable, was facing the risk of falling into the second group, Wang Jialiang sprinkled salt on Hu Ronghua's wounds, changed the previous bold chess style, and held the position for more than 7 hours to prevent Hu Ronghua from taking advantage of the opportunity, and in the end, Hu Ronghua, who did not win, was tragically demoted to the group! Wang Jialiang naturally smiled and blossomed, after all, "revenge with an arrow", in 1981, Hu Ronghua unexpectedly failed to play in the first group, and Zhao Guorong was promoted to the first group, which made Wang Jialiang feel that his thousand-year opportunity to win the championship finally came, however, in 1982, the chess department suddenly decided to cancel the first and second group, which made Wang Jialiang very sad, and after many unsuccessful appeals, he was ready to retire! It was also in this year that the State Sports Commission officially awarded the title, Hu Ronghua and Yang Guanxuan were awarded the title of Chess Grandmaster, and 25 chess players, including Wang Jialiang, were awarded the title of Chess Master.
Wang Jialiang, who has lofty ambitions, is naturally dissatisfied with his only winning the title of master, Hu Ronghua and Yang Guanxuan and other southern chess players believe that they must win the championship more than three times to award the extraordinarily large, while the northern chess players represented by Wang Jialiang believe that winning three runners-up should also be selected, and finally the chess department adopted the opinions of the southern chess players, and Wang Jialiang, who was light-hearted, once again lost to the southern chess players, which also made Wang Jialiang quite dissatisfied! Anyway, all the grudges will pass, just like in the 1988 individual competition, Li Laiqun missed the killing machine many times in the dayou situation and was killed by Lü Qin, which led to Hu Ronghua losing this championship, but Hu Ronghua finally chose to forgive, just like Zhao Xinxin and Jiang Chuan once broke down their relationship due to the chess purchase incident, and now they have become friends!
To this day, the past disputes and grudges in the chess world have also been diluted, and today's chess world, the relationship between Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong and Wang Yang and others is still in a more awkward situation, but please believe that with the passage of time, these disputes and grievances will always disappear! After Yang Guanxuan's death, Wang Jialiang was interviewed and said, "Although Old Yang and I have been fighting on the chessboard for a lifetime, our private relationship is also OK, and the chess players of our generation have passed away one after another, alas..." As Wang Jialiang lamented, even if an opponent always suppresses you, it always annoys you, but after the passage of time, you will always unconsciously think that this opponent will always be able to zero out all the disputes and grievances between yourself and this opponent!
