"Chu Ci Evocation" records:
Shuo Yuan records:
In other words, during the Warring States period, chess was popular among the nobles.
It's just that the chess at that time was very different from our present chess.
It is said that our current chess game was formulated by Niu Sengru, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rules of chess were mature, and the chess at that time was exactly the same as it is now. There are 1 black and red generals, 2 chariots, 2 horses, 2 cannons, 2 elephants and 5 soldiers.
The basic rules are much the same, such as "when the horse arrives at the sun, it seems to fly to the field, the car goes straight, the gun goes over the mountain, and the taxi takes the inclined road to protect the general, and the pawn does not look back."
Chess aims to destroy the opponent's old hands. The rules are simple and changeable.
Therefore, it is deeply loved by the people of China.
Among the senior leaders of our Party, there are also many people who like playing chess, such as Zhu De, Peng, Lin Biao, Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi and Chen Geng. They all like playing chess, among which Peng is the biggest chess fan.
Peng's greatest hobby in his life is playing chess. No matter during the Red Army or the Anti-Japanese War, whether in the People's Liberation Army or the Volunteers, in his spare time, he would set up a chessboard to play with his comrades.
After the founding of New China, Peng's interest in it continued unabated, and he always looked for Zhu De, Chen Geng and even the guards around him to play chess for fun.
Of course, although Peng loves playing chess, his chess skills are really average and he loves to regret it. "He won't regret it if he moves" doesn't exist here. He always has many different reasons to regret.
Once, Peng played chess with the new guard. At the critical moment, Peng accidentally fell into the guard's flying knife (in chess terms, he was trapped, lost his horses and chariots, and even lost his chess).
At this time, I wanted to regret playing chess with Peng, but the guards wouldn't let me.
Peng saw that he was a little comrade across the street. Since he didn't want to, he didn't force himself, just found an opportunity to pull it back.
Who would have thought that although the guards were young, their chess skills were not low. Peng wanted to eat his son, but he didn't know it was time to kill chess. He doesn't know about it either. By accident, the guard played a series of tricks, which Peng couldn't cope with.
At this time, Peng used the killer-regret chess!
The guards are young and energetic, of course not. Peng was in a hurry and became angry on the spot.
The guards cried, and finally Pu Anxiu came forward to comfort him.
Peng regretted afterwards, personally apologized to the guards, and made the meritorious military service:
Old boy, old boy, you must be talking about Peng.
Among many comrades-in-arms, Peng's favorite opponent to challenge is his old partner Zhu De.
Peng and Zhu De are old comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe with * * *, and regard them as brothers' good brothers and close old chess friends.
When they were in the army, they always sat at the chessboard and fought.
However, when they play chess, their styles are completely different.
Zhu De is good at decision-making, good at making moves, stable as a rock, and turning passivity into initiative;
Peng combative, pre-emptive, attack like thunder, from the front.
The best way to reflect the character of both sides is to eat children:
When Zhu De eats, he first sweeps the opponent's chess pieces with his own chess pieces, then slowly picks up the opponent's chess pieces on the chessboard, and finally arranges all the children who eat in a row, just like showing trophies, just like a flood plain, tepid.
When Peng ate the child, he was full of heroism. With a bang, he smashed his own chess piece on the opponent's chess piece, then pulled it out from below and threw the child aside. It was a mess.
This is very similar to their personalities. Zhu De has a gentle personality. No matter what mistakes the staff around him make, he seldom scolds others.
Nevertheless, everyone was persuaded by him, saying that he "didn't need a heavy hammer to play drums", which was also shocking.
Marshal Peng, on the other hand, has a hot temper and often scolds others sharply, making them lift their heads, just like beating drums and hammers.
In chess, Peng is much lower than Zhu De. Every time Peng attacked fiercely and was about to win, Zhu De suddenly hit him with a hard stick with such tricks as "Monday morning quarterback", "fishing for the moon in the sea", "blink of an eye" and "returning the horse with a golden gun", and turned the defeat into victory.
Therefore, Peng was unwilling to admit defeat and tried his best to play regret chess.
Zhu Deze load, grabbed his wrist, loudly say:
Peng their heels, retorted:
Zhu De sneered with a smile:
Nevertheless, Zhu De often failed to beat the stubborn Peng and made him regret playing chess.
As a result, in their special battlefield, the two often fight from morning till night before they close up and go home.
Zhu De farewell, always smiles to say:
1One day in the autumn of 953, Peng Gang, then commander of the Volunteers, returned from the Korean battlefield.
In his spare time, Zhu De invited him, Deng Xiaoping and other Sichuan villagers to have an outing in the Ming Tombs.
Along the way, the two walked on the last edge. After talking about something, Zhu De suddenly stopped, looked at Peng meaningfully and said, "What?"
Peng is addicted to chess, and has long wanted to learn from Commander-in-Chief Zhu De. He immediately agreed and rubbed his hands and said:
Zhu De smiles to say:
The two immediately launched a fierce fight.
Deng Xiaoping in the distance came and stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back.
So he left a classic photo-"Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng are deadlocked, and Comrade Xiaoping is silent."
This photo witnessed the friendship between Zhu De and Peng, and left a much-told story for later generations.
Among the founding fathers, Zhu De, who is good at chess, must be on the list.
I'm afraid Zhou Enlai is the best chess player.
1in September, 945, Zhou Enlai, Wang Ruofei and others held a famous Chongqing negotiation in Chongqing.
Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai are old friends. At the beginning of the cooperation between the two countries, Chiang Kai-shek was the president of Huangpu Military Academy and Zhou Enlai was the director of the political department. Chiang Kai-shek knew Zhou Enlai's talent and admired him very much.
At noon one day, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked Zhou Enlai to play a game of chess.
It turns out that Chiang Kai-shek has always liked playing chess, and his chess skills are quite good. He wants to ease the tension in the negotiation by playing chess.
Soon, Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei and others came to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence to fight.
Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised and asked, "You promised?"
Zhou Enlai wittily replied:
Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "That's that."
In Chiang Kai-shek's reception room, two people lined up to cross the "Chu-Jianghan boundary".
In chess, red comes first, and opponents with equal chess power have a greater chance of winning.
Chiang Kai-shek is the master, Zhou Enlai is the guest, and China always attaches importance to the guest.
Chiang Kai-shek to show generosity, politely asked:
Zhou Enlai came out, grabbed a red "handsome boy" and said:
The two men immediately went to war.
Chiang Kai-shek played a big game of chess. At this time, he was eager for success. He came up with an anti-aircraft gun on the spot. After several rounds, he then fired a heaven and earth gun (that is, the middle gun and the bottom gun cooperated), and the offensive was rapid. Zhou Enlai even lost two cars.
Chiang Kai-shek eyebrows a pick, proudly said to Zhou Enlai:
So, Zhou Enlai has answers, to recruit a dab hand. Soldiers occupy the flower heart, and the carbine is the general. He killed and killed, turned defeat into victory and won the first game.
Chiang Kai-shek asked curiously:
Zhou Enlai smiled and said:
In the second set, Zhou Enlai was not at all polite, and he also got the top gun. Not to be outdone, Chiang Kai-shek fired.
This time, Chiang Kai-shek was even more embarrassed. By the middle game, Chiang Kai-shek was overwhelmed. He was entangled in Zhou Enlai's flying knife and lost a car.
At the last stage, he was brilliantly drawn a car by Zhou Enlai.
There is a saying in chess that "one car and ten children are cold". Chiang Kai-shek doesn't have two cars, and the defeat is set.
Zhou Enlai asked:
Zhou Enlai means to let Chiang Kai-shek take the initiative to take responsibility, otherwise Zhou Enlai can kill Chiang Kai-shek.
As a result, Chiang Kai-shek said unhappily:
Looking at Wang Ruofei the chance to get in a word:
Chiang Kai-shek have nothing to say, so we have to sigh:
And Zhou Enlai pun intended to say with smile:
After two games, Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was no match for Zhou Enlai, so the battle was over.
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek was wronged. Zhou Enlai started playing chess at the age of five. By the age of nine, he was already a chess master.
1939, Xie Xiaxun, the first chess player in China at that time, raised anti-Japanese donations in Myanmar and returned to Chongqing.
Zhou Enlai was in Chongqing at that time, so he invited Xie Xiaxun to play chess. They even played three games, all of which were draws. Xie Xiaxun was very surprised.
Xie Xiaxun learned chess at the age of 6, 19 18, and Xie Xiaxun, the 30-year-old China chess individual champion; 1926, 38-year-old Xie Xiaxun was promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the national chess world, and was known as the "Chess King of China".
Since then, he has won the chess championship four times.
1937 1 1 to 1939, Xie Xiaxun went to southeast Asian countries twice to promote resistance to Japan and save the nation among overseas Chinese and raise donations for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. * * Received donations of more than 50 million yuan and many gold bank jewelry. Therefore, he is also known as "the man who served the country with chess since ancient times".
Without Xie Xiaxun's compromise, Zhou Enlai was able to draw with the chess king of China, which was really impressive.
Among the founding fathers, Chen Yi has a wide range of hobbies and styles, and chess is his favorite sport.
I don't know how good Chen Yi's chess skills are at present, but Chen Yi witnessed the arrival of a prosperous chess game.
From 65438 to 0956, chess officially became a national sport, and the first national chess individual competition was held.
Since then, the national chess individual competition has been held almost every year.
1956, (nicknamed Uncle Mo in chess) successfully won the first national chess individual championship with a total record of16,6,2 losses.
From 65438 to 0957, Yang Guanlin won the second individual championship with a total record of 7 wins and 9 draws, and successfully defended his title.
1958, Li Yiting (nicknamed chess prodigy) won the third national individual championship with a total record of 10 and 6 losses.
From 65438 to 0959, King Yang Guanlin came back and won the fourth national individual championship again with a total record of 5 wins and 2 draws.
Finally, in 1960, Hu Ronghua (nicknamed Commander Hu in chess), who was only 15 years old, was the representative of the Shanghai team, and successively defeated Meng (nicknamed Elephant Killer in chess), Liu (nicknamed Liu in chess) and became the youngest national champion.
Chen Yi, then vice premier, personally presented the award to Hu Ronghua. Chen Yi smiled and said to Hu Ronghua:
Since then, China chess has entered the era of Hu Ronghua.
Since then, Hu Ronghua has won 13 national individual championships, among which Hu Ronghua has won ten consecutive championships from 1960 to 1979.
In 2000, 55-year-old Hu Ronghua won the national individual championship, becoming the oldest player to win the championship.
During his career, Hu Ronghua dominated the world of chess for more than 40 years.
1982, China implemented the chess grading system, and Hu Ronghua occupied the first place for eight consecutive years, and kept the highest score record for 28 years (in the first half of 20 10, Jade Face Buddha Jiangchuan broke the Hu Ronghua record with 2685 points).
In addition, Hu Ronghua has set a series of records.
And this legend began at 1960, when Chen Yi presented Hu Ronghua with an award.
At present, there are many chess masters in China, such as alien Wang Tianyi, Shaoxia Zheng Weitong of Shushan, Jade-faced Buddha Jiangchuan and Six-pulse Excalibur Zhao Xinxin. Especially the match between Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong, let the chess fans feast their eyes.
We expect them to bring more exciting games and make China chess develop continuously.
If only Zhu De, Peng and others could see the flourishing age of chess in China today.
