Huang Gang, did you see the news about Wang Tianyi’s case? I never thought the top figure in Chinese chess would be sentenced for bribery and match-fixing.

I saw it. The impact is huge. Wang Tianyi confessed in court and admitted to taking money multiple times to manipulate matches. It’s really disappointing.

Chinese chess has always given people an impression of integrity and purity. Now with so many grandmasters involved in 'match trading,' it’s really tarnished the image.

Indeed, it shows that professional sports must strengthen oversight. Not only football or basketball — even intellectual games like Xiangqi can’t escape corruption.

I heard the Xiangqi Association has given them lifetime bans and will start education and legal awareness programs. Hopefully this will serve as a real warning.

Yes, Xiangqi carries culture and spirit. Only by maintaining fairness and integrity can it regain the respect of its fans.

I hope the Xiangqi world can return to honesty and people won’t associate ‘grandmasters’ with ‘buying games’ anymore.

I believe after this scandal, Chinese chess will become cleaner and stronger than before.
