Question: The last celebrity, what's the character of our party, Xiuji?

Born in 1874, 10th Celebrity Chess Institute, 21st Honebo. Originally a chess player of Fangyuan Society, he later joined Xiurong of Benyinfang. Good at chess, skillful in tactics and good at using fierce tactics to win. The "Celebrity Win or Lose Chess" with Wu Qingyuan is called the "Famous Game of the Century". 1934, two sons defeated the ever-victorious general Nozawa Chikucho, which shocked the chess world. Xiuzai's "unbeaten" is suspected to benefit from his celebrity status. Setsuko Kenzo and Suzuki Tamejirou both achieved good results, but unfortunately, they were never able to take part in the competition first. Xiuzai gave up (or sold) the title of "Honebo" in his later years, which was regarded as a great contribution to the progress of the competition system and also marked the historical pause of the old Go. Aside from chess, Xiuzai's character is not worthy of admiration.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi

1874 (Meiji 7)-1940 (Showa 15)

Born in Sakurada-CHO, Tokyo, whose real name is Tamura. His father's name is Bao Yong, and he is an old flag book. He joined Zhang Yi's team during the reform and became a junior official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after Huijin's fall. At the age of ten, he learned chess, and at the age of eleven, he showed his talent in chess. After being inspected by Xiufu, he became a student of Fangyuan Society. The following year, my mother died and officially moved into Fangyuan Society to become an inner disciple. During this period, he was guided by Wu Zixu's figures of speech.

In the society, together with Ishii Chiji and Yamaoka Hidjiro, they are called "three little monks of Fangyuan Society", and their future seems infinitely bright. However, at the beginning of Jin Dynasty, my father died, and after the political reform, I longed for the powerful and suddenly felt disgusted with Go. 189 1 year (Meiji twenty-four years) left Fangyuan Society. This move greatly hurt the feelings of Kobayashi Tetsujiro and Lin (Ishii) Chiji, and soon published a notice on Tamura's delisting in the newspaper.

After leaving Fangyuan Society, I stayed in Xiufu Yoko Village and started a business together. After his failure, he stayed in a temple in Chiba to teach chess and was introduced to Xiurong by Jin. He and Xiurong won three games, two games and two wins. 19 years old officially became the fourth stage. Then she attended Xiurong's Go Awards, and officially liquidated her relationship with Fangyuan Society.

1895 (in the twenty-eighth year of Meiji) In the era of the so-called Fangyuan Society, the chess game between Baoshou and Ishii began. At first, the game of longevity was first accepted. In the fifth ten times in the 40 years of Meiji, Qian Zhi became the priority. In the 30 th year of Meiji, Chihiro took the lead in playing chess, and at the age of 23, he was promoted to the fifth stage, first receiving Xiurong chess. In the thirty-third year of Meiji, he was promoted to the sixth section at the age of 27, and the year before Hideki was elected as a celebrity, he was promoted to the seventh section in the thirty-eighth year of Meiji.

The world's chess players and Xiurong chess players are both from the previous two to the first one, and DuDu Tamura can maintain the first resistance. Tamura also played white chess with other players, pretending to be Xiurong's heir in his own consciousness, but the tacit understanding with Xiurong did not advance but retreated, and the two gradually alienated. Since Xiurong introduced five-year-old Tamura Yanjin Zhunyi from Fangyuan Society in 1905 (the thirty-eighth year of Meiji), Tamura's excessive self-esteem has been greatly hurt.

Nozawa Chikucho thinks that Tamura is "born with strong self-esteem, carefulness and great patience", and points out that he still has the defect of "insufficient education". Originally, Xiurong stipulated that the game fee was one yuan, and Tamura should have been seven yuan, but he often got two yuan more. So although strong, it will inevitably be hated by Xiurong. But the decisive factor is that in Xiuzai's promotion celebration, Xiuzai begged Yanjin to play fake chess in order to save face. Xiurong became more and more disgusted with Xiuzai after finding out, so he decided to humiliate Xiuzai. A romantic novel has a vivid description of this:

"In August of the thirty-eighth year of Meiji, that is, one month after the seventh life-saving promotion, Xiurong actively planned the establishment of the Japanese Go Club, and Xiurong became the president, and invited celebrities such as Inukai Tsuyoshi as honorary members to prepare for a vigorous rally with him. Before the establishment of the conference, the current affairs newspaper, which is good at drilling the dead end, wanted President Xiurong and Yasushi Wada to play a game of commemorative chess at the conference. Unexpectedly, when this theory came out, Xiurong was silent for a long time. The organizer Akio Yano is very witty. He quickly said obliquely, "For such a grand event, playing chess is just for fun. How about the win-lose game? "Xiurong agreed, but Baoshou dared not object."

"The day before the press conference, the two of them tried to draw in Xiurong, and it was not a big headache for Black to win a goal. It turned out that it was easy to win the middle game in chess, but it was very troublesome to play draw chess, which was even more difficult than the next game. Besides, a draw at this time is not the same as at the beginning. Once upon a time, as long as the chess score was kept secret, it was difficult for outsiders to know. Now, if the chess score is to be published in the newspaper, any hand of unknown so's chess score will inevitably be doubted by experts. Not only that, as a show, the game should not only be done seamlessly, but also be played brilliantly, and there should be no sloppiness and no mistakes. Just because they are poor for a long time, they still can't. So Yano suggested changing it to the next two games, one win and one loss, and both sides lost face. Of course, Xiurong won the first game. I have no choice but to promise. "

"Xiurong easily won the first game, followed by the second game. At the beginning of his life, he was relieved to think that he had an appointment. Unexpectedly, Xiurong was merciless, freaky and relentless, pressing hard. Bao shou was surprised and angry. Although he tried his best to fight, it was too late. After white 160 hands, Bao Shou gave up. Although Bao Shou was dizzy with anger, Xiurong had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. Later, Yano consciously felt ashamed of his longevity, and finally revealed it in the article "The Secret Language of Chess". "

/kloc-in the autumn of 0/906 (the thirty-ninth year of Meiji), the antipathy between Xiurong and Hotan Village became increasingly explicit, and the two sides never met again. Tamura had a great sense of crisis in inheriting the Fang family. In the second year, he sent a challenge to Zhong Xiurong as a deep-water bomb of the Fang family. But ten days later, Xiurong died in shock.

After Xiurong's death, Xiu Yuan, Xiurong's sixteen brothers who had been living in seclusion, rescued Tamura who was isolated in Fangmen. 1907 On March 27th (the 40th year of Meiji), Xiu Yuan attacked the 20th Honebo again. On February 10 of the following year, one week after Xiurong's death, his family was assigned to Yutian Village, and the second1local voice beautiful and elegant Ai was born. According to Nozawa's proposal, let Xiu Yuan, who once held the position of Honebo, who should have been the first person to play chess, attack the imitation position again-that is to say, Xiu Yuan will definitely support Tamura, a powerful writer of Fangmen, because of his own experience. This result naturally hurt Yanjin. It was not until 1920 (the ninth year of Taisho) that he played two games with beautiful and elegant, one winning and one losing, under the mediation of the news correspondent Yoshijiro.

As a 2 1 century Honebo, Hideyoshi tried her best to maintain her position among the top players, winning ten games in a row in the competition of Bao, giving her second son a secret love for one-eyed, and retreating from the edge of Kenzo Seto. Finally, in February of 19 14 (the third year of Dazheng), he became famous at the age of 41 and climbed high in the exploration of unified chess.

Xiu Zi, who became a celebrity, became more and more domineering. 19 17 (the sixth year of taisho), Nozawa Chikucho used his power to force Weiqi Reference to stop publishing Qiping, because he praised or criticized his past Qiping column. Nozawa had to turn to Go Review to express his opinion. When he heard about it, he wrote a warning: "Mr. Nozawa Chikucho, the magazine Weiqi Review, which recently published Chess Review and Chess Moon, is your careless words and deeds as a disciple of our college. I hope you can correct it as soon as possible. I would like to warn you with this friendship. " Nozawa continued to go his own way, and Hidoko simply removed Nozawa from the Central Chess Academy, and at the same time fired Inoue Takashi Ping who published the chess manual at will. This is the shocking "breaking the door".

1922 (in the 11th year of Taisho), Fangyuan Society and Honibo's family merged to form the Central Chess Institute, but a few days later, because of a money dispute, a series of willing Fangyuan Societies headed by Shin Kato II decided that they had suffered losses, so they resumed their old views. Because the Central Chess Institute used the property of Fangyuan Society, Xiuzi's office moved to Ishimachi, Hashikawa, Japan. At that time, due to the gathering and separation of chess players, it was an era when the Central Chess Academy, Fangyuan Club and Pi were all under the so-called Fang family and the three factions fought endlessly, which destroyed the unity of the chess world. This situation lasted until 1923 (the twelfth year of Taisho), the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 1. On July 1 day of the following year, under the impetus of Baron Taicang, the Japanese Chess Institute was established. And published "Chess Road" magazine, trying to expand the influence of Go.

However, after the establishment of the Chess Institute, the chess points of the players and Xiuzi dropped by a grade out of thin air, so Yanjin Zhunyi, Suzuki Tamejirou, Gaobu Daoping, Shin Kato II and Onota Chiyotaro, who had feuds with Xiuzi, left the Japanese Chess Institute and set up another chess club. Baozhi News (now Yomiuri Shimbun) encourages players who leave Japanese chess houses to confront Japanese chess houses. In the battle of the main players, Xiuzai won the gold medal of the main player of the club and defended the chess house and its authority. Soon (1928), the "robbery in ten thousand years" happened. Gao Qiao, a disciple of beautiful and elegant, resumed the third stage in the second game of the seventh stage of Seto Yuexian, and the situation was already very bad. However, with a robbery of ten thousand years, he neither gave up nor nodded. Of course, Yue Se protested, but in order to prevent Yue Se's power from rising, beautiful and elegant used his position as the highest authority to force Vice President Okura to make the following judgment: White won and Black lost. Since then, Yue Se has suffered a heavy blow and has no chance to compete with beautiful and elegant.

In the same year, Wu Qingyuan, a talented boy, came to Japan and played a game of experimental chess with Xiuzi, thus gaining a firm foothold in the Japanese Go world. Soon, Minoru Kitani launched a "new layout revolution". Wu He Xiuzai, the winner of "Japanese Go Players' Rights Protection War", played a game of "Three Samsung Tianyuan". At that time, Japan launched the so-called "Manchuria Incident", Japanese nationalism was high, and Wu Qingyuan had not joined the Japanese army, so it was originally an ordinary commemorative match, which was virtually rendered into a Sino-Japanese Armageddon, which virtually increased the pressure on both sides. Especially Xiuzai celebrities, according to Wu Qingyuan, "Because I am in a position to challenge celebrities, I am carefree and go into battle lightly. To be honest, I don't feel so nervous about this game as I did when I participated in the promotion. Because every game in the competition is related to the promotion. In the eyes of everyone, it is no small matter to compete with celebrities. And I just think it's' taking time out in the next set of the qualifying round'. But there is no doubt that the defeat of the scholar Honebo will damage the authority of the Honebo family. So for defenders, this is a big game with a heavy burden. "

At the beginning of the game, Wu Qingyuan played against Tianyuan. Xing. Sansan's hand, even if it was slow, he caught it first, shocking four people. Under such circumstances, our Xiuzai shamelessly took advantage of the privilege of hanging up, and hung up 14 times under the condition that the two sides were limited to 24 hours. Every time, after the black side made a move, he went back to Guangzhong's mentoring study, of which in June 1934+ 10/5 only the black side was hit. It is said that the decisive160th hand was conceived by beautiful and elegant's apprentice Chen Er Maeda. According to Wu Qingyuan's autobiography "There are Days Behind", "There is a gossip about 160 hands, that is, Okura, the vice president of the Japanese chess house, knew the existence of this wonderful hand in advance. Mr. Okura is very concerned about the development of this chess game. I didn't know what the gust was. On the day before 160 hit, my husband hosted a banquet for Minoru Kitani and me at home ... On the way to send us to ask questions, Mr. Okura, who was particularly enthusiastic that day, suddenly said, What if White hits here next? Then point out the position of the 160 hand played the next day. As I was told when I was walking, I didn't immediately understand what Mr. Okura pointed out. At that time, I just faintly thought that Mr. Okura, as a Go lover, couldn't say a word. So, casually perfunctory should be two sentences and went away. In a word, "the coming events cast their shadows before them", but I didn't notice it. Besides, I was so busy in the promotion contest and other news chess games that I hardly tried to figure out the game with celebrities when I got home. How did Mr. Okura know about the 160 lot? I think it may be that after he heard that black was slightly better, he asked Honebo about the fate of white. About that time, he was told,' It doesn't matter whether you have this murderer or not. So, I learned the secret of 160. "It can be seen that people close to Fang Jia knew the existence of this chess game long before it was reopened. And this kind of collective research has reached a quite explicit level, from "Legend": "The last day of this game was held in several hotels in Wuqiao. "At that time, my failure was almost decisive. But there are still some complicated officials on the disk. I closed the book in despair. When I took time to go to the toilet, I accidentally saw a group of disciples of Xiuzi celebrities gathered in the game lounge. They have many chess manuals in their hands, which have been thoroughly studied from beginning to end. Seeing such an unusually tense atmosphere startled me, so I quickly asked Mr. Yue Se for help. Mr. Saiyue immediately invited Mr. Yoshida Duan Liyang, the giant of Kyoto Weiqi and the organizer of Yoshida Private School, as a notary. Later, even Mr. Yoshida, an emergency notary, was surprised to see the heavily guarded fighting and felt that the situation was serious. " Finally, it's beautiful and white. This chess game also turned the Yomiuri Shimbun from a third-rate tabloid into a national newspaper, and the Japan Broadcasting Association also took this opportunity to open a Go column, from which many plans were made.

Contrary to Xiuzai's idea, although Wu lost the game, the new layout was not affected, and the unfair treatment of Wu during the game greatly stimulated most players. So the innovation of personnel took the opportunity to set off a frenzy of fair competition, the concept of closed game was established and the system of closed hands was implemented. This makes this chess game known as "the first chess game in the 20th century", and it also marks the dividing line between modern Weiqi and modern Weiqi. I've racked my brains and tried my best, but I'm afraid I didn't expect this.

Now it is understandable that someone defends Xiuzai's authority of "celebrity unbeaten", but careful analysis will show Xiuzai's meanness. In the edo period, you enjoyed the privilege of hanging up at any time, but because there was no time limit at that time, this privilege was more about respect for you. The collective research, though contrary to the essence of Go, at that time, both sides of the game had a large number of staff officers, thus ensuring a certain degree of fairness. However, the chess game between Xiuzai and Wu is obviously bullying the small with big violence, and it is really the first master's demeanor with small violence, which defiles Go.

1936 (the eleventh year of Showa), the selection method of track events in Honebo was determined as the strength system of powerful athletes. 1939, the title of Honebo was transferred to the daily news agency, which contributed to the birth of Honebo War. Since the death of Zhao Erzhao, the favorite heir of celebrities, celebrities all think that the heir of Fangmen should choose the one with the highest chess skill according to the actual situation. This is the beginning of the birth of modern chess, and beautiful and elegant also received millions of transfer fees from it, so after granting the Central Chess Academy the right to issue the exemption certificate in January of 1923 (the twelfth year of Dazheng), it entrusted the decision of the track to the Honebo War, ending Fang Jia's historical mission.

1938 (13th year of Showa) and Minoru Kitani's withdrawal from chess. Gu Mu learned the lesson from Wu Qingyuan and asked to close the game and introduce the title system, so Xiuzai could not cheat. Under such circumstances, Xiuzai could not use the privilege, which made him angry and sad, and his mood fluctuated. In addition, I didn't adapt to the new system, so I lost the game early and lost the game by five eyes.

1940 (15th year of Showa) 1 month18th, witnessed the birth of the first Xiuzi of Honebo, and died in the Scale House Hotel in Rehai on the second day of the Red Leaf Festival at the age of 67. After Xiuzai's death, Yasunari Kawabata wrote a book "Celebrity", which added the concept of celebrity quitting chess. The tone of this book is extremely sad. By denouncing the celebrity's opponent Dazhu Qiduan (prototype is Minoru Kitani), the tall image of the celebrity is highlighted. The beauty in the book is like Kawabata Yasunari himself, and Kawabata Yasunari's suicide can also be seen.

Xiuzi grew up in the dying and troubled times of chess, but did not make any contribution to the revival of chess. When Xiufu "paved the way" and Xiurong tried to revitalize Fang Jia, Xiuzai fled the seemingly hopeless Go. When he was down and out, it was Wei Qi who saved him, and finally enjoyed the success and ascended the throne of a celebrity, which made people doubt the truth of Sima Qian's saying that "Heaven has no relatives and always cooperates with good people".

But that's not what soo-jae is disgusting about. Xiuzai is hateful because he, as a celebrity in the old system, has full feudal authority and enjoys enough money in the capitalist era. That is to say, beautiful and elegant has the power, but he doesn't undertake the obligation, which is the main reason why he attracts people to hold grudges. Take the title transfer of Honebo as an example. This title is the public property of chess players all over the world, but Xiuzi sold the title of Honebo to the news agency. He bought himself a piece of land with the money he got, and gave nothing to the Japanese chess house and Weiqi world. Therefore, Master Wu Qingyuan commented that "Xiuzai is a bad guy". After the death of beautiful and elegant's disciple, the Japanese Chess Institute, which keeps pace with the times, finally sent his bronze statue to the warehouse to eat ashes. Did he ever think that this day, he acted recklessly and suppressed backwardness?

Serves you right.
