  迷迷糊糊间,自己终于安然进入梦乡。
    比赛后记:
  出征前参加一活动时泼墨,练毛笔字是我的一个爱好,可惜写字的水平总是不见提高。
  比赛结束了,我把1996年从自己手中失去的国际象棋女子世界冠军皇冠又夺了回来。唯一遗憾的是,决赛中我的对手是加里亚莫娃,而不是三年前的波尔加。她不参加比赛了,我没有办法。
  热闹的闭幕式后,我回到了北京,生活重又恢复平静。
  树欲静而风不止,波尔加又开始致信国际棋联,声称她才是唯一合法的女子世界冠军。类似的故事两年来已经第N次发生了,不免令人心升厌倦。如今,重要的比赛结束了,我想自己也应该站出来说几句话了,让世人看到事情的真相。
  于是,我提起笔,用英文写了下面的致波尔加的公开信,然后把信寄给了世界上最大的国际象棋网站发布。
  没想到,该信被国内媒体翻译成中文发表后,引起了很大的反响。可能是这封信触动了记者的职业敏感,或者是国人还不太习惯用公开信的方式来阐述自己的意见,于是,一时间关于谢军与波尔加的恩恩怨怨的大讨论铺天盖地,找不到在美国生活的波尔加,老记们向我来寻求答案。
  

1999:收复失地(7)
对此,我给了这样的简洁回答:“我想说的话都写在了公开信里,过去的事情都已成历史,我不想在这个问题上继续纠缠,浪费精力。”
  其实,从某种角度讲,自己不仅了解苏珊·波尔加的棋,还有她的为人和处世手腕。她害怕失去世界冠军的头衔又不想重新做棋手,所以,从这一点出发,我能够理解波尔加颇为过分的做法。所以,对她,我才会用写公开信的简单干脆的处理方式表明自己的态度。
  1999年8月,我又重新成为国际象棋女子世界冠军,但对于96年自己的失利和失常表现我的心中仍然耿耿于怀。心中一直期待着能与波尔加在棋盘上再次一决高低,棋盘上我们是同一水平线上的好对手,棋之外的恩恩怨怨早晚都不过是过眼云烟。
    附:致苏珊·波尔加的英文公开信及该信的中文翻译稿。
  Open Letter to Zsuzsa Polgar
  Beijing; 30th August 1999
  Dear Zsuzsa Polgar;
  Having finished my match against Alisa Galliamova; I finally have the time and energy to reply to the open letters and ments you published on your web site; some of which I felt were directed to me personally。 And I am sure you would not want to do all the talking just by yourself。 During the last two years; I have been following the updates on your web site; read your book with patience and studied your letters to FIDE carefully。 Now I feel obliged to write this open letter in order to clear up some issues。 I did not reply earlier for the simple reason that I decided to save my energy for a real chess match。
  Let me start by saying that I am not the person as depicted in your book 〃Queen of the King's Game〃 which; in my opinion; is full of incorrect assumptions。 I cannot begin to understand why you should write about me and members of my team as if you knew exactly what we were thinking。 And I guess that phrases like 〃she defeated the forces of munism。。。〃 sell better than the more modest 〃she defeated an ordinary chess player from China。。。〃 Still; I take offense to the manifold violation of the truth in your story and the ill…natured style of writing。
  Recalling our match in Jaen (1996) brings no pleasant memories。 Mr。 Rentero's letter was very disturbing; for both of us; as it distracted us from what we were there for: to play chess。 Personally; I was most annoyed by the timing of the match … it started in the midst of the Spring Festival; the major festive season in China。 But I accepted the conditions and did not plain; even though I; too; could probably have found some stipulation in the FIDE rules which would have allowed a delay of the start of the match。 I decided; however; that it was not in the interest of women's chess; or chess in general; to introduce controversy。 Which is also why I have never contested the result of the match。 It was me alone who I blame for the mistakes in the games that eventually presented you with the title of Women's World Champion。 From the moment I lost the title to you; I have been waiting for our rematch。
  Why don't you forget for now who is the rightful owner of the title Women's World Champion; stop talking and go ahead with the things you announce on your web site。 If you manage to find a sponsor for the amount you specify (between half a million and two million US dollars) you will know where to find me … although it seems far from realistic to me。 I am easily satisfied and ready to consent to all conditions that you consider acceptable。 Unfortunately; your statement that you will refuse to play in China frustrates in advance any of my attempts to find a sponsor in my home country。 Hence; I am forced to leave this job to you。
  There is one thing I would like to add。 After us there will be a ninth; a tenth; and many; many more Women's World Champions in chess history。 The title does not belong to anyone in particular and should be defended over the chessboard; not in the courtroom。 Admittedly; the current situation is unsatisfactory; but adding insult to injury will deter rather than attract any future sponsors。 If you are genuinely interested in promoting chess; and women's chess in particular; then you should do your best to ensure we can play at the chessboard。 You will have a major advantage in preparation; as there is no database showing any of your games in the last three and a half years。 On the other hand; if you have decided not to take up playing serious chess again; then just admit it and stop making excuses。

1999:收复失地(8)
I do not expect a personal reply to this letter; since I intend to keep myself busy with more meaningful things than practice English prose。 Just inform me when you have found a sponsor that suits your conditions。 I am only interested in hearing whether we will meet each other over the chessboard or not。 I look forward to that。
  Let the games do the talking。
  Best regards;
  Xie Jun
    致大波尔加的公开信(中文译稿)
  亲爱的苏珊…波尔加:
  在结束了和加里亚莫娃的比赛之后,我终于有时间和精力来回答您发表在网上的公开信及某些评论了,其中有些我认为是针对我个人的。在过去的两年里,我一直关注着您个人网页的更新,耐心地阅读您写的书,仔细地研究您给国际棋联的信。现在我觉得有必要写出这封公开信,以澄清一些问题。我没有在更早的时间答复您,理由很简单,我决定要为一场真正的国际象棋比赛保存精力。
  首先我要说的是我并不是您在《王者游戏中的皇后》一书中所描绘的那种人。在我看来,书中有关我个人的描写充满不确的臆测。我实在不敢苟同您对我和我的教练组的描写,好像您真的知道我们当时在想些什么似的。而在您书中出现的一些句子,诸如“她击败了共产主义的军队”,而不用稍微谦和一些的“她击败了一位来自中国的普通棋手”,我想大概是为了取得更好的卖点吧。我尤为反感的是,您在书中多次歪曲事实并表现出不怀好意的文风。
  1996年1月的那次比赛给我们留下了很不愉快的回忆。伦得罗先生(赞助商)的信极大地干扰了我们的比赛(伦氏不希望看到和棋)。
  比赛的时间安排也令人烦恼,棋赛始于中国最大的节日……春节期间。然而我并没有抱怨,而是接受了这样的安排。尽管我当时满可以从国际棋联的规章中找出有关条款来推迟那次比赛,但是我觉得引起争端不利于女子国际象棋运动,甚至整个国际象棋运动的发展。也正是基于同样的理由,我从未对那次比赛的结果提出过异议。我只怪我自己犯了一系列错误,最终让您获得女子世界冠军称号。从我失去头衔的那一刻起,我就一直在等待我们之间的再次比赛。
  您为何不把谁是世界女子国际象棋冠军称号的合法拥有者的话题暂放一边,而着手进行您宣称要做的事情呢?如果按您的开�
