In 2000, Zhu Chen, known as the "Queen of Tsinghua Chess", quietly married a chess player from Qatar.
Her husband is not only a rich man in Qatar, but also said to have Qatari royal blood, which is half a prince.
In order to be able to live with her husband, Zhu Chen changed his Chinese nationality to Qatari nationality. Not only that, but later she also participated in international competitions as a member of the Qatari national team, standing against the Chinese players.
When the news broke, it immediately caused an uproar in China.
Zhu Chen's fans could not understand her choice. The game aside, you know, Qatar is a country that practices polygamy.
So, now that 21 years have passed, is the marriage that Zhu Chen changed his nationality and married far away from home really happy?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > a love affair on the board</h1>
Zhu Chen, a fellow chess player, has a relationship with her husband from Qatar because of a chess tournament held in 1994.
At the domestic chess individual tournament in the spring of that year, Zhu Chen, who was only 18 years old, won the women's championship and also won the international chess tournament held in Malaysia in the summer of the same year.
Zhu Chen felt that his state was very good, from spring to summer, he also deserved to be in international competitions, continuing to pass the level, and even several male grandmasters became her underlings.
Just when Zhu Chen was vaguely excited about her fiery state, she met Al Mohammed, a male chess player from Qatar, on the field. For this encounter, Zhu Chen later recalled bluntly that his first feeling for Muhammad was very bad.
At this time, Zhu Chen was not very old after all, young and vigorous, competitive, and he was a little proud of defeating several male grandmasters in succession, and did not take him too seriously when he sat down to play with Muhammad face to face.
But Muhammad is different, and has long been attracted to this Chinese girl who has passed the barriers continuously. Although Muhammad already had the title of "the best Arab chess player of the twentieth century", he did not want to lose the game like the previous grandmasters, and from the beginning he did not dare to take it lightly, and when the game began, he went all out.
Zhu Chen, who had some problems in his mentality, naturally became Muhammad's defeated general, and with the blessing of frustration, Zhu Chen's first impression of Muhammad was not good, but this was also the reason why she began to pay attention to Muhammad.
After losing this match, Zhu Chen quickly adjusted his form, came to the women's group to kill all four sides again, and won the Asian women's youth championship in one go. The night before Zhu Chen won the women's youth championship, Muhammad lost the game and failed to win the championship.
Filled with frustration and regret, Muhammad ran to the hotel pool and sat alone to relieve his grief. At that time, Zhu Chen happened to be by the pool, and he sat right behind Muhammad, silently paying attention to him for a long time, touched by his melancholy look, and couldn't help but come forward and chat with him.
After Zhu Chen's enlightenment, the sadness in Muhammad's heart was diluted a lot, and he deeply remembered this kind and cheerful Chinese girl, became curious about her past, and after separating from Zhu Chen, he kept thinking about it and went to understand her past.
Muhammad himself was a rare chess genius, and after learning about Zhu Chen's experience, he couldn't help but want to praise her with "genius".
Zhu Chen, a native of Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, fell in love with chess at the age of 6, and showed a good talent for chess at the age of 8, and was accepted as a disciple by Huang Xiwen, who was known as the "King of Northeast Chess" at that time, and later continued to learn to play chess with several grandmasters such as Ye Rongguang and Xu Jun.
In 1988, there was a chess tournament with the theme of "Children and Peace", and girls aged 12 could also sign up. Zhu Chen, who was just 12 years old at the time, participated in this competition with the help of his teacher, and successfully won the women's championship in this international competition with a good result of 9 wins and 1 loss.
This was the first time that China had won a championship in an international chess tournament, and it was also a historic breakthrough in Chinese chess, and even the president of the FIDE could not help but applaud Zhu Chen, and personally wrote a congratulatory letter to praise this promising little girl.
Zhu Chen, who won the honor for China, became a household celebrity at once, and this success also inspired the young Zhu Chen, who was out of control in the field of chess, constantly representing China in international competitions and winning various awards for China.
Zhu Chen first won the national women's B championship in chess in 1990, and then won the national women's A championship two years later.
With the increase of fame, many foreigners have also begun to pay attention to Zhu Chen.
In 1994, the year she met Muhammad, Zhu Chen was indeed in a hot state, and after leaving the Malaysian competition field, Zhu Chen rushed to Brazil in the autumn to represent China and won the trophy of the World Young Women's Championship, which also promoted her to the female grandmaster.
The connection between Zhu Chen and Muhammad was not broken, but on the contrary, they became closer and closer between each other's initiatives.
In fact, on the night when the two sat by the pool and chatted, not only was Muhammad very touched by the gentle and considerate Zhu Chen, but Zhu Chen was also very fond of this foreign man who was talented, talented, and a little melancholy.
Once the ties are knotted, it is difficult to untie them.

The bronze medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics not only won Zhu Chen honors for China, but also won her an olive branch from Tsinghua University. Since this year, Zhu Chen has studied at Tsinghua University for Chinese.
What a rare opportunity to study in the top institutions of higher learning in China, Zhu Chen cherishes this very much, but the study of the content of the book has not been the whole of Zhu Chen's life since many years ago, in addition to reading and learning, Zhu Chen must also take time out every day to hone his chess skills and prepare for the game.
These things distracted Zhu Chen's attention, and she was unable to devote herself to her studies. There was less time to study, less time, and she couldn't complete her courses or graduate.
This caused Zhu Chen to suffer a lot of blows, and he could only choose to transfer from Chinese to business administration, which also led to Zhu Chen's undergraduate study for seven years before successfully graduating.
Fortunately, the academic failure did not affect Zhu Chen's momentum in the field of chess.
In 1996, at the age of 20, Zhu Chen won the national women's championship for the third time, and won the silver medal for the national women's team at the Atlanta Olympic Games held in the same year, and won the gold medal in the individual stage.
The world championship is Zhu Chen's long-awaited goal, and she has finally reached the top.
Zhu Chen of that era, just like Yang Qian now, is also a world champion, a famous school student, or a beautiful young girl, for a time in China, Zhu Chen's name spread throughout the streets, everyone regards her as the pride of the country, and can't help but wonder who will spend this famous flower.
What the outside world does not know is that Zhu Chen has become a close friend with Muhammad in Qatar, and has gradually transitioned from a good friend to a lover. It's just that this relationship has not been recognized by parents on both sides.
Zhu Chen's parents are well-educated and very enlightened people, which is why Zhu Chen can get the support of his elders when he says that he likes chess at the age of 6.
But even the most enlightened parents cannot immediately accept the reality that their beloved daughter is marrying a foreign country, let alone the foreign country that their daughter wants to marry, or Qatar, which allows men to be polygamous. If Zhu Chen really married to such a far place in the future, in case he was wronged, his parents would not be able to help at home at all.
On the other hand, Muhammad's parents felt that Zhu Chen's origin was a little low. Their family has ties to the Qatari royal family, and Muhammad is the top grandmaster in the country, so of course there are better options.
However, the disapproval from both parents did not prevent the sharp rise in the relationship between the two.
In Zhu Chen's own words, she and Muhammad were like "boats in a storm that can only survive through their own strength."
After several years of long-distance love, Zhu Chen and Muhammad decided to marry in 2000 on the shore of West Lake. From the time the two received the permit to the wedding, they have been very secretive.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="72" > "no regrets"</h1>
After marriage, Zhu Chen was still a Chinese national, and in the same year led the Chinese team to win the Women's Team Championship of the Olympic Games. At this time, Zhu Chen has reached the third place in the world, breaking the record for the world ranking of Chinese female chess players.
After she married Muhammad, because of her different nationalities, she often lived separately in two places and had to endure the pain of lovesickness. When the two get together, it is inevitable to discuss the future of the future.
In this transnational marriage, there must always be a choice between one party and the other.
After Zhu Chen gave birth to their first daughter, the child was taken care of by her parents. Mohammed joined the Jiangsu chess team and participated in various competitions in China, so he lived in China for a long time, accompanying his wife and daughter.
It's just that Muhammad is not very accustomed to life in China, and he is the eldest son in the family and needs to be taken care of by his parents. After holding out for more than half a year, Muhammad left for Qatar, and at this time Zhu Chen finally made a decision to be the one who changed the nationality for the marriage.
But Zhu Chen's choice was not understood by her fans.
Because she not only gave up her Chinese nationality, but also became a national team player in Qatar, and her teammates in the Chinese team in the past have now become her opponents.
Zhu Chen received a lot of criticism and condemnation, which made her very painful. In response to press questions from the media, she explained that she would make such a choice, and after a long period of thinking, she just wanted to be reunited with her husband. In addition to being a world champion, she is also an ordinary woman who also wants to live a normal life.
As for the issue of standing against her former teammates, Zhu Chen has also considered that her current performance and state have repeatedly declined, which is not as good as before, and will not affect the Chinese team. Muhammad promised her that he would marry only one wife in his lifetime, namely Zhu Chen.
It turned out later that the man, who had Qatari royal blood, did exactly what he said, always chose a monogamous lifestyle, and whenever he appeared in front of the camera with his wife, the two were always as sweet and intimate as if they were selfless.
The two later conceived a daughter together, and the family of four frequently visited tourist attractions around the world. Zhu Chen's happy appearance has also touched many domestic people, there is less criticism and controversy about her, and at the Time of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhu Chen, who was pregnant with her youngest daughter, was also selected as the torchbearer of her hometown Wenzhou.
At the beginning of this year, Zhu Chen, who is 45 years old, took her husband and sent New Year wishes to Chinese friends from a distant country. In the photo with her husband, she is much older, but still smiles happily and happily.
Today, Zhu Chen is already the treasurer of the FIDE, not only managing the organization's finances, but also actively promoting chess to the world, living a busier life than when he was a chess player. Her husband, Mohammed, became the director of FIDE's international department, and the two were partners in life and good partners at work.
"No regrets about falling chess", this is not only the rule of chess games, but also the rule of life.
Zhu Chen came step by step, and being able to have her current status and situation was her own choice and her own pursuit. She has won glory for her motherland and hopes that she will be able to live a life as she wishes in the future.
