In the eyes of Xiang Yong, the director of the Xiaoshan Mingshi Chess Academy, the still black and white are like a fierce war. It’s like life is like a situation. Only when you continue to walk on, you will understand where to go next. Since when, this leader in the chess world, Gu Zi, started his own "chess life" in the black and white world.

"Original hands, wonderful hands, vulgar hands are the three terms of Go..." At the Mingshi Chess Institute on the 3rd floor of Guomao Building, Sports Road, when the agreed time was about the same, Xiang Yong appeared in the office in formal clothes on time, sat on the four-sided bench face to face, and we talked about Go that he could not avoid in his life.

chess board is square, chess pieces are round, there are 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces in the chess piece. This black and white square is a small world... Since the Fujian Chinese College Entrance Examination Composition Questions this year, Xiang Yong began to briefly introduce Go.
"entered the circle" without doing his job. The Go career opened the "door" of his teaching career
When she was young, Xiang Yong, like most people in Xiaoshan at that time, had no idea what Go was. The atmosphere of learning Go in that era was not as good as it is now. There were only a few people who could play chess on Guali Town . In his life, employment from school has nothing to do with Go. When I got to the unit, several colleagues could play Go and slowly learned it. In this way, they came into contact with the Go circle.
By chance, Xiang Yong was called to be a Go coach by a local primary school and formed a team to participate in the Xiaoshan District Primary School Students' Three Chess (Go, Chess, and Chess) competition. He never thought that the team had good results, so he started his chess teaching career, and became famous in the circle a few years later. In his own words, it is "junior high school students teach elementary school students and do not do their job properly." Recalling that time, he rode a bicycle to school after get off work every day, and became the Go enlightenment teacher for the children, and teaching chess became his only pastime.

What he didn't expect was that he found that he had more "talent" in teaching chess than playing chess. It was also at that time that he realized that the more he taught chess, the more he felt that his Go level was far from enough. In 2000, he came to Beijing to study at his own expense, successfully obtained the Go teaching coaching qualification certificate, and strengthened his determination to engage in Go teaching. In the next four years, he started his career in teaching go for youth.

But in 2004, a major change in his life made him lose his direction in his life and work, and his Go teaching career stopped. But as time passed, Xiang Yong began to get out of the haze and let go of his heart. Perhaps it was out of a strong sense of responsibility for teaching Go, or perhaps it was a spiritual sustenance for him, he regained his determination to continue to devote himself to the areas he was good at, and secretly worked hard to achieve some results.
After two years of silence, on November 16, 2006, he and his friends Mao Yuheng and Go world champion Ma Xiaochun planned to establish Xiaoshan Mingshi Chess Academy, and systematically devoted himself to Go teaching and contributed to the Xiaoshan youth Go career.

brings out an "elite" team to firmly adhere to the development of Xiaoshan Go career
The starting point of the Chess Academy can be said to be very high, but if you want to have breakthrough development and reputation in a short period of time, you still have the results. In December 2010, Xiaoshan Mingshi Chess Academy signed a contract with the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau to coordinate the management of the Zhejiang Provincial Go team. At that time, the Zhejiang Go team was a Class B team and had failed to make it to the Academic League for 8 years. Xiang Yong, who had made a stake in his career, made a "military order" from the beginning - "fighting the Academic League" within two years.
Due to clear goals, proper selection and good training, in May 2011, the provincial Go team led by him won the championship in the National Class B Championship and was promoted to the Class A team, with a great improvement in the results. In the National Go League that was later played, the team achieved the best result in history - third in the country.

In the National Go League that was later played, the team achieved the best result in history - third in the country.You should know that more than ten years ago, the overall development atmosphere of young people in Xiaoshan was not very good. Not only were there a small number of children who learned chess, but their level was generally not high.

So, how to improve the performance of provincial team students and make up for the shortcomings of Xiaoshan Go is a question he has been thinking about. In Xiang Yong's view, the sport of Go needs to be better inherited in Xiaoshan, not to mention that Xiaoshan already has excellent coaching resources advantages, which made him have the idea of concentrating his efforts on cultivating top players in Xiaoshan Go, and set up some selection competitions of the national women's team and the national women's Go training base in the chess academy, and at the same time embarked on a training path for professional chess players teaching.
has no rules and cannot be square. In just two years, with the efforts of all members, the Chess Academy has trained many excellent chess players and achieved quick results. After winning multiple championships in many competitions, Xiaoshan Mingshi Chess Academy "killed" a way out in Xiaoshan Go teaching and training, which also added glory to Xiaoshan's sports career. "I still remember that in November 2011, Xiaoshan held the first Go competition in the five-star hotel Golden Horse Hotel at that time, which was unprecedented in the country. After that, the atmosphere of Go in Xiaoshan became stronger and stronger, and the number of major events in the Go world gradually increased."

However, the "chess road" is long and difficult to have smooth sailing. In 2020, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic caught off guard, but because the Chess Academy had already launched online AI assisted teaching in the early stage, the online resumption rate of more than a thousand students reached 90% in a short period of time.
is the solid management ability and a complete teaching system that has not suffered much impact on the development and operation of the chess school. This is also due to the correct predictions made by Xiang Yong, the leader of the chess school. In 2016, he worked with the team to develop the AI artificial intelligence teaching system early, and established a technology company with truly technical content and "hematopoietic functions" to continuously explore, develop and practice.
"I have always advocated that the focus of the chess academy is teaching rather than commerce. This direction has not changed before, it will not change now, and it will not change in the future. Facts have proved that although affected by the epidemic, we have not only survived, but also made innovations."

First of all, the chess academy has set a number of industry precedents, such as adopting the online grading system; secondly, relying on scientific and perfect development concepts and effective business management mechanisms, as early as 2019, the chess academy and Qiantang robot teams jointly carried out in-depth cooperation to assist in the research and development of diversified Go intelligent robots such as "slave training, assistant coaches, referees", and repeatedly achieved innovative breakthroughs in the development of intelligent technology. Xiang Yong said that these achievements are inseparable from the joint efforts of chess school coaches, administrators and scientific researchers.
Only by keeping one’s own heart can one have great wisdom and play every move in life well
In Xiang Yong’s dictionary, engaging in teaching and training is the same as playing Go, you must keep your “original heart”. It has no shortcut to win with one move, nor can it be lucky. "Go not only exercises human patience, but also the role of correcting personality and behavior. Children who learn chess will be relatively calm. The masters who can win in the end must rely on their hard skills and great wisdom to win. Don't be greedy."

"No regrets when making a move, playing Go is actually a balance. I always think that only by taking every step well is the cornerstone of playing chess and even being a human being. I think this is the best nourishment that teenagers can get from learning Go. This is also reflected in the teaching of Go."
For teenagers who are learning chess, Xiang Yong advises that you don't need to blindly compare with others, but always remember that you only need to perform your best in the range of abilities that match yourself, that is, win.

"For beginners, they should start with their own hands. Only when their skills are solid can the chess skills be improved.Some beginners are keen on pursuing wonderful skills and ignore the more commonly used skills. This is the foundation, and a wonderful hand is the creation. Generally speaking, only by a deep understanding of this technique can you have a good skill; otherwise, it is inevitable that you will be a vulgar skill and your level will not be easy to improve. "Xiang Yong said this about the state of mind that he is trying to play Go.
Go is like a vast world. Only those who are truly confident can walk leisurely in the world of Go. "When you are strong enough, you will not care about those slightest mistakes, and it will not affect you. "
If starting chess in Xiang Yong's life means starting, then at the other end of the Go world, what he saw in the end was not only winning or losing, but the precious footprints he took step after step.
What is even more important than others is that he is also looking forward to the future development of the young people in Xiaoshan Go, and hopes that more young people in Xiaoshan love Go and wander in the boundless world of Go. And soaring.
What is certain is that like countless young go teaching practitioners in Xiaoshan, he is moving silently towards that light; and the go that he deeply loves brings to him the ups and downs of the precipitation in his life, he is also savoring the ups and downs of the past in his life. In this black and white world, the end of the road will be sweet, without bitterness.
