The "chess" program used to be a bit unpopular compared to other sports, and it was only in recent years that more people have gradually participated. In 1988, at the age of 12, Zhu Chen broke China's blank record in this event, not only winning the women's championship in the 12-year-old group of the "Children and Peace" World Chess Championship, but also being awarded the title of FIDE Master by the FIDE. Becoming famous at a young age, Zhu Chen has since begun her own champion life.

Zhu Chen's ability to achieve such impressive results in chess has a lot to do with her family environment. Her father was an engineer, her mother was a people's teacher, and she grew up in such an intellectual family, Zhu Chen was extremely well-behaved since she was a child, and even her favorite extracurricular activities were quiet projects like chess. Fortunately, Zhu Chen's parents have always been very supportive of their daughter's hobbies, and they also hired professional coaches to teach her.

At the age of 8, Zhu Chen began to contact chess, and under the guidance of the coach, Zhu Chen, who was already very talented, improved even more rapidly. Since then, she has also begun to participate in some domestic competitions frequently, and every time she can come back with a medal, she is a talented chess player who is little famous in everyone's eyes.

You know, before Zhu Chen, almost no Chinese chess player could achieve such excellent results. Zhu Chen became famous since then.

In 1994, Zhu Chen, who had just turned 18, won the Asian Junior Championship (under 20 years old), and in the same year, Zhu Chen won the World Women's Youth Championship and won the title of Women's International Grandmaster. This is a unique event in the history of Chinese sports, and countless people have turned their proud and appreciative eyes to Zhu Chen. Zhu Chen was very humble and entered Tsinghua University for further study, but due to busy competitions and training, Zhu Chen stayed at Tsinghua University for 7 years before successfully graduating.

The women's competition in the same age group could not satisfy Zhu Chen's determination to compete, so in the 1997 national individual competition, Zhu Chen signed up for the first time as a man. That time she took the runner-up and was awarded the double title of "Women's Grandmaster of Chess and Grandmaster of Men". There has never been a talented chess player like Zhu Chen in China, and she has become the pride of everyone, and countless netizens regard her as "fide chess queen".

It can be said that Zhu Chen's future is infinitely bright, she not only has created brilliant records herself many times, but also led the Chinese women's team to win the second place in the Olympic team competition. Zhu Chen is calm and persistent during the game, very aggressive, and does not look like the same person compared to his petite figure and sweet appearance. It is precisely because of the existence of this little girl that China has begun to burst into vitality in the field of chess.

At the same time, Zhu Chen was also immersed in happy love. In the 1994 Malaysian tournament, Zhu Chen suffered a crushing defeat to Muhammad, who was nicknamed the "Best Arab Chess Player of the Twentieth Century". However, the two people who played against each other became good friends off the field. Later, they got along more familiar with each other, and a transnational love affair began.

But love is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Zhu Chen and Muhammad's feelings were opposed by the families of both sides. Zhu Chen's parents feel that Muhammad is Qatari, and Qatar has a tradition of polygamy, and her daughter will not necessarily be happy when she marries into such a family, not to mention that in China, Zhu Chen is a talented chess player with a high status, and after arriving in Qatar, she must not get the same respect and treatment as in China. Muhammad's family believes that his status is noble and has royal blood, and Muhammad is the only international Go master in Qatar, which is too ordinary to match Muhammad in comparison. The future of the two faces a severe test.

Under such tremendous pressure, Zhu Chen and Muhammad never let go of each other, and finally in 2000 they became a legal couple, and Zhu Chen also changed his nationality to Qatari. In the face of polygamy in Qatar, she once said that it was a big deal that I would marry Muhammad with my girlfriend. Zhu Chen's unexpected remarks made domestic netizens begin to resent her, thinking that she must have been overwhelmed by love to say such words.

Fortunately, Muhammad did not follow the local traditional customs and only married one person, and polygamy was just a decoration for two people. After the marriage, Zhu Chen and Muhammad had a very good relationship, although they were both busy with their respective careers, they have been doing their best to maintain this hard-won marriage. After marriage, Zhu Chen also thought about returning to China, but she could not help herself in the end, she could not achieve this wish, and could only let herself enter the countryside and get used to life in Qatar.

Life is like a chess piece, and there is no regret in falling. Looking back at Zhu Chen's experience along the way, it was like the chess she was good at, and every step was sonorous and powerful. Now That Zhu Chen and Muhammad have two lovely daughters, the relationship between the husband and wife is as sweet as ever. Although she still misses her motherland from time to time, the happy life with her family now is also what she wants to cherish the most.
