When his players won the championship at the National Games, Master Li Aidong, the coach of the Sichuan Provincial Chess Team, made a temporary cameo appearance as a reporter, and he asked Zhao Panwei, who had just won the gold medal in the open chess group, "what do you think", and Zhao, who has never been good at words, replied very seriously - "It's not so nervous, I don't have to be so nervous during the game!" ”
His name is Zhao Panwei, also called "I am nervous.".
In terms of strength, he has long been in the top three of the national amateur chess industry, and it is not surprising that he won the championship in the open group; in terms of state, this "disabled chess king" is somewhat erratic, he has defeated professional masters like Wu Junqiang many times in national competitions, but sometimes he will lose to unknown amateur chess players... Therefore, Jiang Quansheng, president of chengdu chess academy, sighed with emotion and had a classic evaluation of Zhao Panwei's victory, that is, "perhaps, opportunities will always be left to those who are particularly eager to succeed!" ”
Low self-esteem, self-confidence and self-improvement
He was asserted that he would not live to be 20 years old
He lives in a small hotel around the Chengdu Chess Academy, every morning, he will go to the chess training room of the Chess Academy on time to "go to work", with the improvement of strength step by step, the chess players who dismantle chess with him are the professional masters of the Sichuan team, and sometimes, he can even represent Sichuan to participate in the top level chess league, such treatment, how many amateur chess players dream of? But these are not anyone's gifts, but Zhao Panwei's step by step, relying on his own strength to win.
Chess is everything to him. It can also be said that it was a gift from God after he gave him such a rare disaster as "progressive muscular dystrophy".
What is "progressive muscular dystrophy"? Baidu will tell you that under normal circumstances, it is difficult for such patients to survive the age of 20, of course, there are exceptions, patients in addition to disabilities, life expectancy will be no different from ordinary people. Born in 1992, Zhao Panwei seems to belong to the "exception" of misfortune, but this does not indicate that his way of survival will be much brighter than other patients.
He often has some low self-esteem. The coaches and teammates of the Sichuan chess team understand this, so they will give Zhao Panwei an extra care in training and competition. But it is not enough to take care of others, especially in the arena, everything has to be done on their own. Over the years, Zhao Panwei has done it and seized the opportunity.
The best opportunity should actually be Zheng Weitong, the king-level figure of Sichuan Chess, to move to Guangdong and fight for his dream of being a champion in elephant armor. Objectively speaking, a member of the iron main force he shot, gave the training team member Zhao Panwei a chance to land in the elephant armor, so, in the 2016 season, he played once, defeated the old opponent Wei Qiang, you know, the Paralympic Games he failed to reach the top but relegated to the second place, but also because of the existence of Wei Qiang; in the 2017 season, he has played 6 times so far, 1 win, 1 loss and 4 draws, saved the capital, and also grown. To say that the income, Zhao Panwei is not bad now, a year of xiangjia league, he plus salary can always earn about 50,000 yuan, and the domestic year of large and small open competitions, the strength of him can also earn a lot of bonuses, these money, basically enough to support his family expenses - Xiao Zhao was born poor, in addition to himself, he now has to be responsible for the daily living expenses of the elderly and sisters at home.
"The experience of the Xiangjia League has greatly helped his mental balance and made him more confident. Taking the championship of the Open Games this time, from the content of the chess, he has at least two games of chess that are dead, and in terms of his strength, he is at such a disadvantage in such a game, it must be because his own mentality fluctuates, and the first half of the game cannot be played normally. But in the end, he was able to win, in addition to luck, or because of his real strength, and his fame is not small, the opponent is also under pressure, the same technical deformation. Aside from the reasons for the opponent's technical distortion, I really can't find any other reason why he can win back the chess piece he lost. Coach Li Aidong commented.
How to get a big heart?
The eight winds do not move, do not move like a mountain - in the chess world, such a style is undoubtedly a realm that any player wants to chase. But this realm is easier said than done.
Zheng Weitong, Gui is the second in the domestic ranking, the champion of the national individual competition, and the new king of the chess world. But on the afternoon of the day Zhao Panwei won the championship, in the professional group finals, he was unexpectedly defeated by Heilongjiang Hao Jichao in the super fast chess duel, and was relegated to the second place.
No one has ever been able to criticize Zheng Weitong's mentality, in fact, Xiao Zheng can come to this day, it is precisely by relying on a "big heart" that he can afford to win or lose big. And the professional group of the National Games, under the premise that the strength absolutely prevails, perhaps from the moment he gets the choice in super-fast chess and chooses the black chess (and the black chess win), his mentality will inevitably fluctuate. The final result is also a little regret of the Sichuan Chess Games, Zheng Weitong failed to withstand the opponent's strong attack, lost, and the champion also fell by the wayside.
1 gold and 1 silver, Jiang Quansheng, president of Chengdu Chess Academy, was in pain and happy on this day. So he reflected in an interview with reporters: "So the mentality is the most difficult thing to talk about in the field of competition." When you, like Zhao Panwei, can hardly even get out of the preliminary round, or in the sixth round, the opponent can never win without making mistakes, his mentality must be adjusted to the best. Fight, where will barefoot people be afraid to wear shoes? But if you are like Zheng Weitong, in terms of absolute strength, when anyone will look forward to him before the final, you have to say that he did not bear the pressure because of this, that is simply impossible! In the final three games, the first game of slow chess he chose to play first, even if he knew that the opponent played super well, and topped him, at that time, I knew that it was not very good. Zheng Weitong still has a big heart like a winner and loser, this point has not changed in essence, but when the opponent lets go, it is impossible for you to ask him to always be peaceful, and the third game of the final is too technically complicated, I can only tell you - just in the second that Zheng Weitong began to suffer from gains and losses, the opponent seized the fleeting opportunity. In this sense, life is a process of continuous cultivation, Xiao Zheng is already strong enough and stable enough, but from the perspective of cultivation, even if it is him, there is still enough room for him to rise. I hope that in future games, he will always remember today's defeat. ”
