I believe that many senior chess fans already know that the 40-year-old Sun Yongzheng recently chose to retire, after seeing this news, my heart is also full of mixed feelings, because Sun Yongzheng's retirement will have a certain impact on the chess world, for professional chess players, they will be a little happy to see Sun Yongzheng's success in retirement, after all, the competitors are almost one less, just like Wang Tianyi said in the live broadcast room: "Of course, I hope that Xu Yinchuan, Zheng Weitong and Jiang Chuan, the top masters, will not come to participate, That way it's a lot easier for me to win the championship. ”
But for amateurs who have nothing to do with their own interests, it is natural to hope to see that the more fierce the competition in the chess world, the better, the more top masters in the chess world, the more exciting the game, which is what countless chess fans like to hear, but how the ideal is very good, the reality is very bad. After the rise of Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong, the majority of chess fans feel that the competition in the chess world will be wonderful in the future, but who would have thought that at the beginning of Wang Zheng's rise, a generation of chess grandmaster Xu Yinchuan retreated, which made many chess fans who like Xu Yinchuan feel very disappointed.
Today's Sun Yongzheng, like Xu Yinchuan 6 years ago, has opened up the "old man's life", the two of them choose to fade out of the chess world of similar age, is it not possible for a chess player to start at the age of 40? Perhaps, after all, the throne of the chess giant Hu Ronghua, who was the first in rank, has gone since he was replaced by Lü Qin at the age of 46, and the most ruthless thing in the vast world is the years, and the ruthless years have destroyed all the heroes...
Sun Yongzheng was born in November 1981, when he was in elementary school, he was instructed by chess master Ge Weipu, in 1996, Sun Yongzheng fell under Hu Ronghua's door and became Hu Ronghua's disciple, at the end of 1999, Sun Yongzheng officially became a full member of the Shanghai team. In 2001, Sun Yongzheng, who was the same age as Hua, won the third place in the national chess individual competition that year, and Sun Yongzheng's record was almost the same as that of Lin Hongmin and Wan Chunlin in the same team.
After the Shanghai chess industry placed high hopes on Sun Yongzheng, he did not think that Sun Yongzheng would behave unevenly and tepidly in the next ten years, which upset Hu Ronghua, Hu Ronghua always felt that Sun Yongzheng's chess was calm and domineering, for this reason, Hu Ronghua talked to Sun Yongzheng many times, in the 2011 Xiangjia League, Sun Yongzheng, who was more stable in the previous game, unexpectedly played many times, Hu Ronghua saw the situation and criticized Sun Yongzheng fiercely.
After being criticized by Hu Ronghua, Sun Yongzheng made a big splash and won the championship of the first national hand competition of the year, and in the next highly anticipated national chess individual competition, Sun Yongzheng won the three armies with the courage of ten thousand men, and won the championship of the individual competition in the year of the establishment! Sun Yongzheng has been looking forward to this championship for ten years.
But it is more regrettable, since the championship of the individual championship, Sun Yongzheng has few remarkable records, before 2014, it was Jiang Chuan, Xu Yinchuan and Lü Qin who dominated the chess world, Sun Yongzheng can mix in other people's kingdoms for so long is not easy, after 2014, the chess world began to enter the era of Zheng Weitong and Wang Tianyi, Sun Yongzheng is still in the era of others, creeping forward, in the era of Wang Zheng's strong rule, Sun Yongzheng and other national chess champions are often a crown is difficult to find, obviously, How beautiful Wang Zheng and the two are, how desolate the other national champions are.
Sun Yongzheng, who has been a champion for many years, may not want to be the green leaf of Wang Zheng and the two people anymore, so he also chose the same path as Xu Yinchuan: when he thinks of showing his hand on the field, he can go when he does not want to go, he can sit and watch the sandpipers compete, and then benefit himself. In recent years, Sun Yongzheng's chess skills and achievements are not satisfactory, perhaps Sun Yongzheng is really old, his rank score is only ranked in the male chess player about 30, it is really hard to believe, looking at the chess world, it seems that there is no national chess champion at the age of 40 to fall to the position of 30th grade points, Lu Qin, who has entered the old age, is still in the 10th place all year round, which shows that Sun Yongzheng is not only getting older, but also chess skills are not good.
In the Fortuna Cup in 2020, Sun Yongzheng, who is in his prime, was actually killed by the elderly Lü Qin in two seconds, which is really surprising, it seems that playing chess really requires talent, and Sun Yongzheng's talent is much worse than Lü Qin. In 2020, Sun Yongzheng faced the teenage Xiao Meng and lost two games, why is this? God knows!
No matter how sorry, Sun Yongzheng finally retired, perhaps in the future he will rarely participate in the game, if so, it is really a big loss in the chess world, in fact, in my opinion, Sun Yongzheng belongs to the kind of tragic chess player who is not talented enough but still perseveres and perseveres to learn chess, a chess player has paid all his youth for chess but the record is not satisfactory, it is really sad. In any case, I hope that Sun Yongzheng can still practice chess often in the days of retirement, and then return after Wang Zheng and the two are gone, if so, the scene must be very beautiful...
