The point of view demanded in this article is: "The chess champion was accused of cheating on the because he excreted in the bathtub and sued the chess association". Yan Chenglong, the mainland chess champion, was punished by the Chinese Chess Association for being suspected of cheating by "" because he defecated in a hotel bathtub. For this incident, Yan Chenglong has submitted a civil complaint to the court. For such an event, everyone wants to know what the truth is. However, it is currently impossible to confirm whether Yan Chenglong has cheated on "". In the mailed civil complaint, he demanded that the other party apologize, eliminate the impact, and compensate him for mental damages of 100,000 yuan. After participating in the finals of the National Chess Folk Chess Championship on December 17, 2023 and winning the championship, his troubles are not over. However, in this matter, whether Yan Chenglong is a victim or a "challenger" to the rules of the game is pending the court's trial.
We can look at this event from multiple angles. First of all, we need to rationally analyze the causes and development of events. Yan Chenglong excreted in the bathtub after the game because of gastrointestinal discomfort caused by water and soil adaptation, although such behavior may be a bit gaffe, but it cannot be concluded that it is cheating. In the heated discussions on social media and netizens, many people questioned the punishment of the chess association. Therefore, we also need to question whether the handling of the chess association is too hasty and whether the punishment of the players is reasonable.
Second, we need to focus on the moral and social issues associated with the event. In the face of such an obvious incident, public opinion will exert very much negative pressure on the player's behavior to a certain extent, which is undoubtedly a huge harm to a player. Therefore, when discussing and disseminating the incident in the form of public opinion, everyone can pay due attention to the incident itself, but more attention should be paid to the restraint and protection of law and morality.
Finally, we need to give a neutral view of the punishment of the chess association. In the process of exercising power, has the Xiangqi Association had a negative spiritual orientation, and whether the punishment of the players is true and fair, and whether it is illegal? We need to make a comprehensive evaluation of this incident from a fair standpoint.
Finally, we also believe that the relevant authorities and associations should be more cautious in handling such incidents, take reasonable punishment measures, and fully respect the rights and interests of players. As a sports organization, the Xiangqi Association should uphold the principle of fairness and impartiality of the game, and should not be too strict with players by reviewing disputes. Therefore, we believe that in this case, the Xiangqi Association should re-examine its way of handling affairs, put forward professional standards, and respect the legitimate rights and interests of players.
