The teacher's first game of chess was a test, to see Li Fei's chess skills, but most importantly, to observe Li Fei's competitiveness and sense of gain and loss.
Many people are concerned about everything, eager to obtain everything, yet have never figured out what they truly want and pursue.
Li Fei accomplished this, which is called clarity of mind.
In the second game, the teacher deliberately showed 'killing power', brutally bullying that Marquis Jing'an on the chessboard!
With talent being foremost, occupying a high position, and being a martial arts powerhouse himself, even if he doesn't care about winning or losing in chess, when he's at an absolute disadvantage in a field, he is bound to feel some irritation.
But the teacher said Li Fei remained calm from start to end, which is quite commendable.
To control one's emotions and desires, this is called self-discipline.
