1. Last time, I said that I didn't play ten games of chess with Xie Xiaoran, and you went back to Harbin to arrange work, right?
Yes, and that time I felt that there was still a gap with the first-class chess players, so I wanted to calm down and study chess well.
2. What about assigning work?
The unit I was assigned to at that time was the word mold factory of Longjiang Daily, which was actually Qiqihar Daily. The northeast was originally three provinces, but was later divided into nine provinces, and Heilongjiang alone was divided into three provinces. My Longjiang Daily newspaper was located in Qiqihar, and I had to follow the past, when I was already married, my family was in Harbin, I couldn't be as carefree as before, and I was sick at that time, so I didn't go and stayed in Harbin.
At home, I concentrated on studying chess, for more than two years, during which I often went to Changchun and Shenyang to play chess, and my chess strength improved rapidly, becoming a chess master in the northeast, at this time I wanted to go to Tianjin to take revenge.
3. When did this happen?
It was 1953. I worked in the Nangang District Character Model Factory, and after much deliberation, I took the time to enter the customs again. This time, Tianjin, which was first entered, is catching up with the great wind of chess in Guannei. There is a Lixing Chess Club in Tianjin, which is holding a public ring performance, and invited Chen Tiancai, the king of Shandong chess, to be the master of the ring. He is a famous fast chess king in Shandong, so he paid him to come and fight with Tianjin's chess friends in this round. I went to Tianjin for the first time to play with him, but the results were very unsatisfactory, usually the performance was to play two games of chess, but with him was fast chess, two hours to play four games, twice as fast as the normal game. Chen Tiancai successively took the screen horse in his hands, played fast, I was not very adaptable, the result was four games of chess, two losses and two sums, and failed to win him a set, which was really unexpected. After playing chess, I summed it up, felt that his chess was not very strong, and privately pondered how to win him.
4. How long have you been playing chess in Tianjin?
More than a week. I not only interacted with Chen Tiancai, but also with other chess players, and Chen Tiancai's performance in other chess players in Tianjin was quite good.
5. How many games did you play during this period?
I can't remember the specific number, at that time, Ma Guoliang and Ma Kuan in Tianjin were not there, and went to the "big world" in Shanghai to do public performances, Wang Jiayuan's business was too busy, and I only played two games of chess, I won one and one. The rest who were weaker than Wang Jiayuan basically did not lose. The most was the chess game with Chen Tiancai, and a total of twenty games were played. He always walked the screen horse, no matter the first hand and the back hand, there was no other change. Slowly I figured out the rules, the chess went down more and more smoothly, and more and more wins. I remember that later Chen Tiancai returned to Shandong, and I also worked as a champion there for a few days.
In this way, except for Ma Guoliang and Ma Kuan, the masters of Tianjin have won, and then I want to go to Beijing.
6. This time to Beijing will be a first-class master, right?
Let's talk about Xie Xiaoran in Beijing. At that time, Xie Xiaoran went to Shanghai to compete with Yang Guanxuan, Dong Wenyuan, He Shun'an and other southern masters, and yang Guanxuan and Dong Wenyuan, only to lose to He Shun'an. Generally northern chess players and Yang Guanxuan can be said to be difficult to win, Xie Xiaoran and Yang Guanxuan played six games of chess, mutual victory and defeat, it can be said that it is not easy, like Ma Guoliang lost to Yang Guanxuan in Shanghai lost very badly, Ma Kuan although there are many chess, but three years failed to win Yang Guanxuan a game of chess, the same northern chess player Hou Yushan and other results are not ideal, so privately chess friends all agree with the "Southern Yang Bei Xie" this statement, but this is only a private word, and did not spread. After Xie Xiaoran returned to Beijing, he opened a natural Xuan tea house, and since then he has sealed his knife and stopped playing chess.
Xie Xiaoran's Natural Xuan can be said to be full of famous hands, I went to Beijing to go straight to the Natural Xuan, I and Xie Xiaoran are already very familiar with him, also respect him, Xie Lao is also very good to me, and I often talk about chess and other things with me.
Beijing's five masters are Xie Xiaoran, Hou Yushan, Zhang Dekui, Quan Hailong and Cao Dechun. Hou Yushan was not in Beijing at that time and went to Shanghai to perform. I'll go down with the whole sea dragon first. Xie Xiaoran said to Quan Hailong: "Jialiang has a long chess game, and if he has achieved very good results in Tianjin, don't let him be the first two." "Quan Hailong is more arrogant and reluctant. Elder Xie reconciled from the middle and said, "Well, you first let him play a few sets first, and then say how to play." "As a result, I won two consecutive sets, so that the whole sea dragon had no choice, so he had to divide first, and I won four sets of points first, and the next day I played seven or eight games of chess, and he still didn't get it back."
My victory over Quan Hailong caused quite a stir in Beijing, and Yang Changsheng drew in the middle of it and set up a ten-game match with Zhang Dekui. The tournament was held in the Sanyouxuan Chess Club, with public performances, tickets sold, and a signboard was hung to advertise, "Zhang Dekui, one of the five masters, against Wang Jia of Heilongjiang". Ten games of chess played for five days, and the field was full. I beat Zhang Dekui with a score of four wins and one loss and five draws, and my fame was even greater. So he began to plan ten games of chess with Cao Dechun.
Cao Dechun originally did not go down with me, and when I won Quan Hailong and Zhang Dekui, he changed his mind again. Because no one between the five masters obeys anyone, if he wins me, he can establish the first position. Originally, Yang Changsheng said that he would play a game of chess for me, at this time, Cao Dechun's intention to be drunk was not in the wine, and he didn't even hang up the lottery, he just wanted to win me.
The game was still in Natural Xuan, two games a day, only played for two days, and ended halfway through with my three consecutive wins. Cao Dechun did not expect to lose three sets in a row, without a chance. What made me most uncomfortable was that after he lost these three games of chess, he couldn't play anymore, and since then he has abandoned his career as a chariot and horse, never playing chess, and playing Go instead. A chess player in his 30s, the youngest master in Beijing, left chess like this, which cannot be said to be a pity.
After the three wars, North China became famous, and I embarked on the road home with pride, along the way there will be masters from all over the world, pass the barrier, and kill all the way back to Harbin, establishing the status of the first master in the northeast.
