There is an old Chinese saying: Peers are wrongdoers. Guo Degang also once ridiculed: only peers are naked hatred. In fact, not only China, but all peers in the world will have such problems.
We know that in literature, judging the work of an author takes a lot of risk. According to reports, a few years ago, several college teachers jointly published a set of review editions of Jin Yong's complete collection of martial arts novels, similar to Mao Zonggang's review version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". A review of Jin Yong's martial arts novels was made. Although the comments were full of admiration and praise for Master Jin Yong, it still made Jin Yong angry. Master Jin Yong took the college teachers to court and asked them to compensate for business losses and reputational losses. These teachers probably never dreamed of going to court.
Zhao Zhongxiang, a former famous anchor of China Central Television, published a book in 1995 entitled "Thoughts of Years", which recorded his growth experience and expressed his feelings, feelings and feelings about the world. A college teacher pointed out in a newspaper that the book had some errors in wording and punctuation. The teacher very euphemistically said that he loved and respected Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang very much, so he would not publicize these mistakes. But even so, after the news came out, it also caused Zhao Zhongxiang to be furious and directly exploded at the teacher in the media.
Since the ancient literati were light, if we say that literary things are the affairs of the literati. So is there such a thing in Go? In fact, it also exists. Regardless of the industry, it is a very cautious thing to evaluate peers. For example, in the insurance industry, it should be a normal thing to compare different insurance products of different insurance companies. But the reality is, if you dare to dissect and evaluate the insurance products of insurance companies and point out the advantages and disadvantages of the products of these insurance companies. Then you will most likely receive a letter from a lawyer suing you for defamation and making you compensate for tens of millions of business losses. Therefore, we will often see that when the insurance self-media compares the products of insurance companies, they are replaced by the words of a certain security, a certain life, a certain fu, a certain Hua and so on. Although everyone knows who it refers to, it is not clear. Because it's so safe, no one wants to get themselves into trouble.
Commenting on peers on the Go field is also a very taboo thing. If it is commercial blowing, naturally there is no problem. But if the commercial blowing is blind, then the audience does not like to watch. And it also seems to be the level of the chess person and the low character. This kind of chess method is something that no chess speaker will adopt. Therefore, it is a very tricky and artistic thing to maintain their own high level and high style, as well as an independent personality, but also to preserve the feelings of the chess players, or to make the chess players who play against the game feel satisfied afterwards, and to make the audience willing to listen and like to listen.
The top masters avoid talking about the chess of their peers, or that the people who talk about chess have a good relationship with the chess players who play against each other, or even very good friends. Talking about chess in this way, you can let go a little. Even if it is a few jokes, the chess player will not feel anything. The audience knows that the relationship between the speaker and the player who plays the game has always been very good, and will not think that the chess player who talks about chess deliberately scandalizes the blackened dwarf chess player. The audience certainly does not like to hear commercial blows blowing each other, and what the audience likes to see is the sharp competition of words and swords and equal strength, humorous and hilarious and full of suspense.
Looking at the Chinese chess world, the only person who can achieve this effect may be Nie Weiping Chess Saint. Nie Qisheng's expression was exaggerated when he talked about chess, his speech was sharp, and the smooth process could also be said to be undulating and climactic. In Nie Qisheng's exaggerated expression, our chess players are dizzy and frequent, completely in an unfavorable desperate situation, Nie Qisheng angrily rebuked our chess players' faint moves, so that the audience's heart has mentioned the throat eyes, and the anxiety is extreme. And in the end, suddenly the peak turned around, the willows were dark and the flowers were bright, and there was actually a victory with divine help. Spectators watching chess listened like they were mesmerized, like a roller coaster ride.
In 1995, Ma Xiaochun defeated Japan's Kobayashi Koichi and won the Fujitsu Cup world championship and returned to Beijing, and when he heard that Nie Qisheng was talking about chess on CCTV, he was very angry and expressed his dissatisfaction.
I play chess as a world champion, can he understand it?
If you were just intimidated by the chess players playing against each other, although the two sides were a little awkward at the time, most of them passed afterwards. But on the other hand, even the Chinese Go giant Nie Qisheng has been publicly intimidated, who dares to criticize or even comment on the world champion's chess?
However, it is relatively rare in China to criticize a chess player for not going well in a certain chess hand. In China, I have not heard of any stories and reports of chess players being beaten up for criticizing a bad hand. But in Japan, it does happen. And both sides of the story are well-known Go giants: one is Takeo Kajihara, and the other is the famous honorary chess player Hideyuki Fujisawa.
Takeo Kajihara was born in 1923 and Hideyuki Fujisawa was born in 1925 and belonged to his peers. Takeo Kajihara, Hideyuki Fujisawa, and Toshiro Yamabe are also known as the "Three Great Giants after the War" (Chinese translation "Three Feathers After the War" and have an important position in the Japanese chess world.
In one of the games, Takeo Kajihara explains Hideyuki Fujisawa's matchup. Takeo Kajiwara thought that Hideyuki Fujisawa was not doing a good job of chess and criticized it. Unexpectedly, after the game, Hideyuki Fujisawa stopped Takeo Kajiwara and kept asking: You say that I don't play chess well, where is the bad? If you say it's not good, it's not good. The two sides argued and then moved. Although we now see that Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa is very dry and thin. But that was only because Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa had had three cancer surgeries and his body had become lean and lean. In fact, In his prime, Hideyuki Fujisawa was very strong, weighing more than 150 pounds at that time. So the result of the fight between the two was that Hideyuki Fujisawa beat Takeo Kajiwara.
We in China have always said: Watching chess is not a true gentleman. In the past, the chess roadside stalls in the streets and alleys were often watched and pointed. If people who watch chess express too many opinions, it is easy to cause the disgust of chess players. The person who wins the chess game is better to say, but the person who loses the chess game himself holds a fire in his stomach. People who watch chess have a stinky chess basket on the left and a stinky chess basket on the right. Such provocation and irony are strange not to fight.
Hua Yigang and Xu Ying, who are known as the golden partners of Chinese chess, have eight dan and Xu Ying's four dan. They talk about chess very artistically. First of all, they will never say which of the two sides of the game is not good. At the same time, there is absolutely no sense of substitution, that is, talking about unconsciously thinking of yourself as a chess player. Constantly put forward their own ideas and ideas for the game. Nie Qisheng often talked about chess, and regarded himself as a chess player in the game, integrating his views into the chess game of both sides of the game. This is easy to differ from the thinking of the opponent, and the other party does not agree with it, which will produce disputes and even contradictions.
Fortunately, now that there is an alpha dog, the advice given by the alpha dog is unified and authoritative. No one dares to accuse alpha dogs of having problems with their chess ideas, nor will they accuse alpha dogs of not being able to understand the world champion's chess. Therefore, the explanation of chess now follows the opinion of the alpha dog, and under the guidance of the supreme opinion of the alpha dog, some personal interpretations that are convenient for the audience to understand are proposed. This is almost an inevitable practice in explaining the game of Go at present.
If there is a chess player who says: I do not agree with the opinion of the alpha dog, the alpha dog's play is too smelly. That will surely attract crowd ridicule and boos. Professional chess players are no longer condescending and mysterious.
