As we all know, the act of digging the foot of the wall is not uncommon in today's society, it can be said that this situation will occur in all walks of life, and the chess world seems to be more obvious! There are two sides to everything, and the same is true of digging the foot of the wall! Although digging up other people's walls and feet is somewhat beneficial to themselves, this behavior also directly harms the interests of others, so it can be said that digging up walls and feet is essentially an act of harming others and self-interest. In today's chess world, many teams do not talk about chess ethics, bent on digging the walls of other teams to strengthen themselves, although this behavior is despised, but people are always very powerless against this common misconduct, why is this? The reason is naturally not so complicated, it is nothing more than a matter of money! In the context of the market economy, many chess players are all about money, where to give more money, they abandon their own team to go, although the behavior of these chess players is understandable, but these chess players because of the problem of money and do not hesitate to abandon the behavior of the old owner is still very desperate and indifferent!
In the chess world, provinces that are not economically developed enough, or are unwilling to pay chess players high wages, often fall into a desperate situation because of the behavior of others digging up walls and feet, Hubei is the most obvious example. In the 2004 Xiangjia League, the Hubei Xiangqi team led by Liu Dahua finally won the second place after fierce competition, achieving a historic breakthrough! In the 2005 Xiangjia League, the Hubei Chess Team went one step further, and finally won the championship with the performance of the four sides, and the Hubei Chess Team was immediately noticed by a large number of people in the chess world, and the Hubei Chess Community was also cheered! But Liu Dahua did not expect that the strong performance of the Hubei team members was to impress a large number of chess players at the same time, but also to other teams to see, since they looked up, it must be appropriated for themselves! Therefore, before the start of the Xiangjia League in 2006, the main players of the Hubei team, Wang Yang and Li Xuesong, were poached by the Xiamen team and the Sichuan team at a high price, respectively, and the coach Liu Dahua, who had no money to keep the players, had to "take a long breath to cover his nose", and in this year's Xiangjia League, he was forced to act as the main player of the Hubei Chess Team and was immediately relegated to the second group directly from the defending champion, which is a sad and regrettable result! It is also enough to see how much damage the dug wall foot has done to the team!
Why is the Hubei chess team dug into the wall and foot more than this time? Before the start of the Xiangjia in 2014, Hubei main hongzhi was poached by the Inner Mongolia team with heavy gold, which greatly weakened the strength of the Hubei team, and what is worse, before the start of the Xiangjia in 2015, another main player Wang Yang was also poached by the Hangzhou team at a price of about ten times higher, and the Hubei team instantly became a team that was even difficult to relegate! Although the heart of coach Liu Dahua was painful, he also knew that just looking at the relationship between master and apprentice could not keep the apprentice. In the 2017 Xiangjia League, hubei teams that have been dug into the wall one after another have been relegated again after a gap of 11 years and have since been devastated. In my opinion, it is understandable that provinces with rich but weak teams dig the walls of other teams to strengthen themselves, but provinces with rich teams and strong strength dig the walls of other teams, which are somewhat unsure, such as the traditional strong team Shanghai team, which has twice dug up the Heavenly King Hongzhi for its own use!
In fact, not only the Shanghai team, but also the traditional strong teams such as the Beijing team and the Guangdong team have also dug the walls of other teams. The majority of chess fans know that the Guangdong chess team, which has always been known as the "dream team" of the chess world, has dug Zheng Weitong, the second person in the rank and the main force of Sichuan, to Guangdong since 2016, although it is clearly said that Zheng Weitong went to the Guangdong team for "learning and exchange", but in fact, it is not much different from digging the foot of the wall. The behavior of Guangdong people to dig people is indeed out of helplessness, after all, in those years, Lü Qin was bent on fading out and no longer playing, Xu Guoyi and Zhang Xuechao and others were difficult to be a big task, and Xu Yinchuan was also difficult to support, so it was indeed a wonderful idea to dig up Zheng Weitong and Join Forces with Xu Yinchuan to maintain the status of the Guangdong chess world. Before the start of the Xiangjia in 2013, the Beijing team also spent a lot of money to dig Zhang Shenhong, the bearer of the Shandong team, to Beijing, after all, Zhang Shenhong played too brave in the 2012 Xiangjia League and won the 8th place in the personal score, beijing team coach Zhang Qiang saw the natural salivation, perhaps it was its own "retribution" in the dark, the Beijing team was dragged down by Zhang Shenhong, who only opened a set of Hu that year.
When the Beijing team "black hand" to other teams, it is estimated that they did not expect that they would also "encounter poisonous hands", in 2014, the main force of the Beijing team, Wang Tianyi, was poached by the Inner Mongolia team with huge funds, Zhang Qiang knew that his heart was quite injured, but he was still generous in his understanding and blessing Wang Tianyi when he was interviewed. In physics, energy is conserved, in the chess world, chess power can also be said to be conserved, so many team coaches sit and watch other teams "dig people" and "be dug" phenomenon but will not worry much, just like in 2014, when the Inner Mongolia team poached Wang Tianyi and Hong Zhi from Beijing and Hubei teams with heavy gold, Guangdong coach Lü Qin said without worry: "Although the behavior of the Inner Mongolia team digging the walls and feet of other teams with heavy gold is strong, it will also make the strength of the Beijing team and the Hubei team weaker. Therefore, the competitive environment of the Guangdong team has not changed much, there is really no need to worry", it can be seen that Lu Qin has become accustomed to the phenomenon of digging the wall between the teams in the chess world and does not pay attention to it!
Think about how pure the chess world was in the 67s or 80s and 90s, there is no mutual digging between the teams, no matter which team, if you want to get good results in the team competition, you can only rely on the strength of your own team, which is the fairest competition! And in today's chess world, under the temptation of fame and fortune, many teams want to get good results only need to spend money to dig the wall, even if a team without any strength, as long as they are willing to spend money to dig up two or three top chess players, then this team can be invincible and win the team championship! But it's puzzling, is it really fun to get good grades through tireless poaching? I don't think so! Just like the dug-up Hong Zhi helped Shanghai team win the second Xiangjia League championship in 2007, but Shanghai coach Hu Ronghua was not very happy when talking about this championship, more or worried, after all, it was not a championship won by local chess players; just like Zheng Weitong, who was dug up in 2016, helped Guangdong team win the Xiangjia League championship, Guangdong coach Lu Qin also did not show a happy look when he was interviewed, on the contrary, he said the most and worried about the fact that Guangdong chess was broken. It can be seen that although digging the foot of the wall can get some vanity, it is only that...
