Go is a long-standing entertainment in our country, and there are some amazing stories about playing chess in the past. There are such unusual six games in history, which is thrilling to read.

In 383 AD, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a famous war broke out that won more with less – the Battle of Feishui. The Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the 800,000-strong army of the former Qin Dynasty, which was known as a million-strong army, with 80,000 troops. When the good news came back to Jiankang, Xie An was playing chess with a friend. After reading it casually, he put it aside and continued to play chess, as if everything was expected. When friends asked each other, he only said that it was nothing, but the children had already defeated the enemy. The "Shishuo Xinyu" records this matter: "Xie Gong and the person went to chess, and Xie Xuanhuai wrote to him, but he read a book, but he was silent, Xu Xiangju. When the guest asked Huai Shang about the interests, he replied: 'The children's generation is a big thief.' The behavior is not unusual."

Kong Rong, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the first of the seven sons of Jian'an, was a famous civil servant at that time. In the Three Character Classic, Rong said that he was "Rong is four years old, and he can give pears." He was a man who did not donate money, and was always hated by Cao Cao, who controlled the government. Once Cao Cao found an "unwarranted" crime and arrested him. At this time, Kong Rong's 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter were playing chess. Someone urged them to run for their lives. The brother and sister replied, "Where can you destroy the bird's nest, and the bird's eggs can still be safe (under the cover of the nest, there are eggs)?" After a game of chess in peace, the two were also captured and killed together with their father. The calming account of this in "Shishuo Xinyu" is very shocking to read.

Gu Yong, the prime minister of the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms, was a famous chess fan. Wu Crown Prince Sun He opposed playing chess and said that playing chess was useless. Gu Yong was the prime minister, and he was very powerful. He pretended not to hear what the crown prince said, and he still played chess with the guests in the palace. Once, while the chess battle was in progress, his son Gu Shao, who was an official in other places, died of a serious illness. Gu Yong didn't change his face when he heard the news, and the game was the same as before. But under the chess table, he pinched the flesh on his palm with his fingernails so hard that he bled to vent the pain in his heart.

Ruan Ji, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, was a famous writer and thinker. One day, while he was playing chess with a friend, his family came to report: "The old lady has passed away!" The friend got up hurriedly and urged him to go back to take care of his mother's funeral. Ruan Ji insisted on finishing the game. Both sides played for more than two hours before the final game. The Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin records this: "When the sex is filial, the mother ends, and she plays Go with someone. If you are right, you will stop, and you will stay and decide to gamble."

If you think that Ruan Ji is unfilial, then you have wronged him. "The Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin" says that after he finished playing the chess game: "After drinking two buckets, he raised the number one, and vomited blood for several liters. And when he was about to be buried, he ate a steamed gizzard, drank two buckets of wine, and then came to the table. He bluntly said that he was poor, and raised the number one, because he vomited blood for several liters, he destroyed the barren bone and stood, and almost destroyed his nature."

When Emperor Song Ming of the Southern Dynasty was an official named Wang Jingwen, he was a very capable person. Emperor Song Wen valued Wang Jingwen very much, not only marrying Jingwen's sister to Emperor Song Ming, but also naming Emperor Ming after Jingwen. But when Emperor Song Ming died, he was very worried about Wang Jingwen, worried that after his death, the empress was in the dynasty, and Wang Jingwen would not be willing to serve as a minister. When Emperor Song Ming was seriously ill, he sent an envoy to deliver medicine to Wang Jingwen to die. When the imperial edict was delivered to the Wang family, he was playing chess with his friends. After reading the imperial edict, Wang Jingwen pressed it under the chessboard and continued to play chess with his friends with a relaxed expression. At the end of the game, Wang Jingwen calmly packed up the chess pieces, took out the imperial edict, and then picked up the poisoned wine, raised a glass and said to his friend, "I'm leaving, I can't persuade you to drink this glass of wine." After saying that, he drank it, and he was sixty years old.

When he played the middle game, he was obviously at a disadvantage, so he didn't dare to play again. He lied about his stomach pain and closed the game. Hu Zhaolin asked Shi Dingan, the master at that time, for advice, and then rushed back to continue playing with Fan Xiping. Shi Dingan lived far from Yangzhou, and Hu Zhaolin spent two days and a night back and forth. In order to win a game of chess, such a top chess nerd can be said to be unprecedented.
