The competition style and conducting discipline are the lifeline of the development of chess. The violations of the above-mentioned personnel seriously undermined the fairness and justice of chess events, seriously impacted the normal order of chess development, and seriously eroded the credibility of the sports industry. Once verified, the Chinese Chess Association will resolutely punish and will never tolerate any suspected violations of discipline and regulations that are still under investigation. I hope that chess sports practitioners can learn from the case, be aware of fear, adhere to the bottom line, build a solid defense line for honest practitioners, and jointly maintain a healthy ecology of chess sports.
