Man with a pinch of hair plays super-fast Xiangqi
Deng Rujun（邓如军）is a good amateur player in the Guangxi Xiangqi circle, and recently become famous for playing ultra-rapid and blitz chess against lots of masters across the country. Deng Rujun has grown sparse hair on one side of his face thus nicknamed 'a pinch of hair'（一撮毛）or 'Brother Mao'（毛哥）, and over time, his real name was little known. Brother Mao is good at fast chess, especially three-minute, one-minute ultra-fast chess. Extreme fast and rapid reaction helped him not to fall behind in the duel with his many famous opponents, and even dominated them with advantage.
It was talked about in the Xiangqi circle that Brother Mao has defeated two advanced students of Grandmaster Liu Dahua in consecutive matches (five games against Xiangqi Master Wang Xingye and three games against Xiangqi Master Zhao Ziyu), and more players will come over one after another, and the excitement is building up ahead of the confrontations! It seems that the professional masters all have to pay a tuition fee to Brother Mao, how are the master players going to react to the situation? It's anybody guess. What's more, several of Brother Mao's major agents have also rushed in to support him, including Mr. Wang Jiang（王疆）, the Xiangqi coach of Lin Huiyu（林辉宇), it seems that it is difficult for the masters to pluck the hair, and the longer this hair grows, the more lush it is!
Xiangqi Master Chen Fujie has failed miserably the night before. The net loss of twelve games shocked the Xiangqi world, and Mao Ge's troop has reached Grandmaster Xu Yinchuan's camp last night. Chen Fujie got defeated on the opposite bank of river Lijiang（丽江）and lost the sum of 18,000 yuan. The heavyweight of the Guangdong Xiangqi team was greatly enraged, they immediately ordered that the frontline players to be fully ready, to recover the lost ground at any cost and win back their dignity.
Mao Ge is quite strong and full of confidence, he has defeated several well-known masters. Only Wei Qiang（蔚强）avoided defeat and drew with him.
Worthy to mention, because in the past few days, Wang Xingye（王兴业）, Zhao Ziyu（赵子雨）, Su Shaofeng（宿少峰）, Chen Fujie（陈富杰）and other Xiangqi masters all lost to Mao Ge, so a top player in the professional world of super fast chess was requested to step forward to meet the man with a pinch of hair.
Now comes the battle hero Zhao Jincheng,
He shows his generation's great strength.
With forceful youth and fierce attack,
Brother Mao's approach must be so re-adjust,
Should not do anything arbitrary or carefree,
Non-stop combats can cause lack of fitness,
Ahead are higher mountains and higher peaks.
Xiangqi master Zhao Jincheng（赵金成）crushed Guangxi's Mao Ge, and won back some prestige for the professional team.
Though defeated he is still stunning and glory,
Many masters got the lessons while he went far.
Reached in front of the gate of the God of War,
It is acceptable to lose to better players.
Good games always astound people up and down,
As good things are bound to come to the ground.
Too tiresome really that of continuous battles,
Not to lament, shining reputation been all around!
