Features: In the long scroll of history after the formation of chess, it has been colored with strong strokes, yet also left blank with faint smoke. This is not surprising. The rise and fall of nations, changes in people's understanding, and fluctuations in the economy, politics, and culture all influence its development. Moreover, we believe that if any thing only has perpetual development without intervals or stagnation, it may not be an absolute truth: "The moon has its bright and dark phases, this has been true since ancient times." In recent years, the number of chess enthusiasts nationwide has not seen a significant decrease, but in cities with the most influence, it has indeed declined somewhat. Many professional teams have disbanded, and the media has overlooked it—these are certain choices during the period of social transformation. Whether it's chess or Go, they are inventions of the Chinese people and things worth pride in the world. Such competitive and entertaining forms that integrate military strategy, sports, culture, art, and philosophy are hard to find elsewhere in the world.
As a chess enthusiast, the author hopes to start with children. It is not acceptable to sit by or turn a blind eye. Chess is easy to learn but difficult to master. Only by providing enthusiasts with appropriate teaching materials, allowing them to improve and gain greater enjoyment from it, can they become more dedicated to pursuing and loving the game.
