The answer to this reading, please

Learning to play chess was the result of his father's influence. At first, he just squatted at the side and watched. As time passed, he actually saw more or less the way. While the adults were busy fighting, she also tried to come up with ideas and shout out moves. The people watching the game were shocked." Such a young girl knows how to play chess?" I curled my lips." What's so great about it? Isn't it just 'a horse jumping the sun, an elephant walking the fields, and a cannon barrel'?" The crowd burst into laughter.
Of course, at first, my father disdained to fight me, but he couldn't stand my pestering and could only play the role of a teacher and an opponent. After a few days, I felt that I had improved a lot, so I asked to fight independently. When playing chess, he would bite his father's chess pieces tightly, but he would always be inexplicably killed. Finally, one day, my father looked at my messy game and solemnly said,"If you really want to learn chess, you must understand that you can't only have one chess piece in your heart." Although there were two people playing chess, in fact, you could only treat this as your own matter. You had to treat both the red and white pieces as your own pieces. Only then could you be prepared and not be alarmed. To put it bluntly, you're playing chess with yourself!"
How can red and white be my sons? It was clearly two people playing chess. How could it be considered as a matter of one person? I looked at my father's face in confusion and did not dare to ask further. However, these words were clearly imprinted in his heart. It wasn't until more than ten years later that I realized that this was not only a proverb for chess, but also a profound experience of life.
From then on, I understood my father's words: Although there are two people playing chess, you can only treat it as a matter of one person. The red and white stones are the stones you want to leave. You are playing chess with yourself.
Humans were fragile and always needed some form to prove themselves, so there was a competition. And the so-called opponent was just another form of his own interpretation. Only by looking through it can you see yourself more clearly, grasp yourself, and surpass yourself. In a sense, your soul is focused on your opponent.
The oldest female balloon pilot in the United States, Connie Wolfe, had always been known for her love of adventure. She was the first woman and American to fly over the Alps in a hot air balloon. She took 15 world records from the Soviets at the age of 56 and was still flying at the age of 85. Her pilot's license was still valid. I have thought of this legendary woman many times. She seemed to always challenge someone, and the one who responded was always herself. She had used all her life force to play chess with him, and finally, she had obtained a brand new version of herself from her soul to her body.
All the difficulties and obstacles were nothing as long as you wanted to conquer yourself. Those hardships and setbacks all like to lie in the cowardly and fragile heart. In the long journey of life, you must learn to fight, struggle, resist, and play chess with yourself.
Whenever I was restless and upset, I would sit alone in front of the table on a quiet night and play a game of chess with myself. Walking through the abyss of suffering, walking through the flowers, walking through the muddy swamp, walking through the beautiful sun and spring…Then, he pushed open the window to look at the moon, quietly meditating, his heart as clear as a spring, his heart as clear as the sky.
