Guo Tisheng is a veteran of modern Chinese Go and a descendant of Guo Bailing, a national player in the Ming Dynasty.
He and Liu Dihuai and General Liu are called "South Liu Beiguo".
Guo Tisheng has a famous disciple, that is, Nie Weiping, who later shined in the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament.
When Guo Tisheng was young, in order to make a living, he went to Beijing to find Anhui villagers to eat.
This person is Duan Qirui, who is 42 years older than him.
Duan Qirui
Duan Qirui's name Zhiquan, was the leader of the Anhui warlords during the Republic of China, known as the "Tiger of the Beiyang", he was Yuan Shikai's right-hand man, and because of this, he became the main target of Sun Yat-sen's "Dharma Protection Movement".
To say that Duan Qirui has a true love for Go, he not only plays chess by himself, but also trains his son to become a Go master.
He also supported a group of chess players, Wang Yunfeng and Gu Shuiru were all favored by him.
He also sponsored Wu Qingyuan to study in Japan. Later, Hideya Beninbo also had his credit for visiting China.
Mr. Guo Tisheng's "Vicissitudes of Life" also recorded Duan Qirui's chess score, let's take a look.
Actual combat picture 1: Guo Tisheng was given birth to three sons, Duan Qirui was in charge, and he was too old to beg for a life under the other party's door, so he had to be given up to his son, and he couldn't do his best when he was let go, which can be described as a dilemma.
The white chess above obviously owed a hand, but Guo Tisheng did not dare to rush into it, otherwise Lord Duan might be unhappy.
Refer to Figure 1: This hand rest should definitely be connected to the top. Duan Qirui has no fear.
Refer to Diagram 2: Black can even go straight to the top of the game, and since white is divided, it will be a hard fight.
Duan Qirui
Duan Qirui has the highlight moments of the second and third republics, and also the suppression of the revolution, and the death of Liu and Zhenjun in Mr. Lu Xun's pen has nothing to do with him.
Actual Combat Diagram 2: Back to chess, black 24 slow, 25 hard support.
Guo Tisheng and Nie Weiping, Chang Hao
.
Actual Combat Diagram 3: Guo Tisheng carefully maintains the balance of the situation. Black first puts white around the five lanes.
Then, the black 36 with 40,42 was inefficient. This is clearly deliberate. Guo Tisheng released the water.
Refer to Diagram 3: Black should take the lead, and then black 6 and 8 will go to the showdown.
Diagram 4: Even with a few concessions, black still has a slight advantage. It seems that the advantage of the third son is indeed great.
Duan Qirui
Diagram 5: White holds up very well, and black does not pursue the shape of white. White is catching up in stride, and the board is no longer optimistic.
The black chess pieces that passed Tisheng were too painful, they did not dare to exert their strength, did not dare to counterattack, followed the steps, trembled, walked on thin ice, and finally lost the game.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Tisheng played against Marshal Chen Yi, and not only recovered his chess strength, but also dared to win chess.
This reflects the change in the mentality of Guo Tisheng from one side.
