Ye Gao Xiang, whose real name is Jin Qing, was born in the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing of Shizong in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1559) and died in the seventh year of Apocalypse of Shizong in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1627). He was born in Fuqing, Fujian. He was the first record of the three dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to the prime minister. His story includes Ye playing chess with a famous little chess player in his 100 s. 100 years old, from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, was the most accomplished and famous national chess player in the late Ming Dynasty. He is gifted and intelligent. He became familiar with Go at the age of 1 1. He often wins games with adult players and is famous in Jiangnan.

It is said that when Ye was in the cabinet, he often invited his colleagues to play chess in his spare time. However, he didn't meet the enemy for several years. In the first year of Taichang, Ye entered the cabinet again. When he passed by Wuxi, he heard Bai Bailing's art in small talk and specially wrote an invitation to invite Bai Bailing to play chess.

Ye Gao Xiang 100 is over years old. When I saw him as a child, I ignored him. However, after a battle, Ye lost three games in a row and felt ashamed. The father who is over 100 years old, watching the war, whispered to his son in a trembling voice, "Your opponent is the same country, please have mercy ..." Over 100 years old disagreed, and Qingyin replied, "Although playing chess is a unique skill, isn't it a pity to flatter people in vain? Besides, Guo Xiang is so smart, how can he blame me for being a little boy? "

Ye was very surprised at this. He got up and said to his father, who was over 100 years old, "Your son is not only a superb chess player, but also an honest and frank man by nature, and he will definitely become an excellent chess player in the future. Fang has a lot of things to do today, and he needs such talents. I have something to ask you. I wonder if I can agree? " Seeing that his son was praised, the over-100-year-old father quickly replied, "The child is ignorant and offended Guo Xiang. If the adults have any instructions, the old man will certainly do it! " Ye Gao Xiang said, "Your son has this genius, and your father-in-law taught his son well. I want to take him to Beijing and ask a famous teacher to teach me the art of running the country and keeping the country safe. What do you think? " Before his over-100-year-old father could answer, the over-100-year-old man first said, "If the child hasn't finished his studies, he might as well not go." Hearing this, Ye guessed that he was over 100 years old, and he was afraid of being called a snob. He didn't want to go with the dignitaries and didn't embarrass him, so he had to give up.

After Ye went to Beijing, he played chess with his chess friends and won in a row. His chess friends called him a "national player". Ye Gao Xiang replied shyly, "No one knows, but the old man was defeated by a boy in Wuxi." Chess friends quickly echoed: "Even so, old Guo Xiang is still worthy of being the second in chess." From then on, Ye had the theory of "second in chess".
