The Story of Me and Chess, Chapter 11

In that year's national individual competition, the men's group of 50 people, using the Swiss system, had to play a total of 13 rounds; the women's group of more than 30 people played 11 rounds. This is the 10th round of the competition, both the men's and women's groups, have reached the final sprint stage. Whoever can withstand the pressure and grit his teeth can laugh to the end; on the contrary, he will lose everything and the good situation ahead will be wasted. In this competition, the fate of South Lu Andibei Zhao was finally so different, which once again reflected the cruelty of competitive sports.

In the 10th round, the men's group took the first stage, and sitting on both sides of the chessboard were Xu Tianhong of Jiangsu and Zhao Guorong of Heilongjiang. The two chess players were representatives of the younger generation at that time, Xu Tianhong has played steadily in recent years, and his rank has risen year by year; Zhao Guorong has been famous for a long time, and his chess skills have become more and more mature, and he can already compete with any grandmaster at that time, especially Lu Qin, who led alone in the last round, and his momentum is like a rainbow. When the two males met, more people were optimistic about Zhao Guorong, and public opinion believed that a new national champion was about to be born!

It was time to start the game, but Qu Yunhan, the referee from Beijing, gave an order: "I announce: The 10th round of the 1986 National Chess Individual Championship is now starting!" "A room full of athletes suddenly all stood up and shook hands with each other, and the formation startled me: it turns out that the national competition still has to shake hands with opponents first and then use knives and guns? What a sight to behold!

Writing this, I suddenly remembered an interesting thing.

It was 2001, when I was participating in the Shenzhen Individual Competition, one night we were competing, and I overheard someone arguing behind us. I looked back and saw a chess player and a famous person in Shenzhen arguing there. Listen carefully, it turns out that at the beginning of the game, the chess player, out of respect for a famous person, reached out and shook the other party, and then the two began to play, and finally the chess player won. When the referee came to ask someone to sign and concede defeat, a certain person resolutely refused to sign, on the grounds that everyone had shaken hands before the game and made peace, and the chess played later was just a game of chess between the two. The winner cried and laughed, "Where did I shake hands with you and make peace?" Someone said, "You didn't ask me for peace, so why did you take the initiative to shake hands with me?" I don't want to be with you yet! "There was an uproar. Written here for everyone to laugh, huh.

The gripping race begins! Looking at a room full of super-large and masters, I really don't know which chess games to focus on? The first stage of the must-see, Liu Dahua's game is also a must-see, and Chen Shulan's chess I also have to see if there is any preparation in the end, and then just look at it, can remember how much is how much!

First of all, the first unit, that Xu Tianhong with the most skilled five seven cannons into the three soldiers straight cross car to attack Zhao Guorong's screen horse into the three pawns, the two sides began to follow the rules, there is no surprise; to the middle plate, Xu Tianhong highlighted the clever hand, first abandoned the seven road soldiers, and then unloaded the cannon to the three roads, secretly ambushed the means of killing the car, and seized the opportunity. Zhao Guorong seemed to be ill-prepared, and made a slight mistake in coping, although Xu Tianhong was smiling and squinting, he was unceremonious in his hands, and his moves were all heavy punches, which made a big mess of Zhao's back line and took the upper hand.

I strolled to the table next to Liu Dahua's table against Cui Yan, glanced at it and was surprised: I only saw that the red fang Cui Yan had a good start, clenched his hands, and firmly grasped the initiative of the situation; Liu Dahua walked hard and thought hard about good strategies. I stood on the sidelines and watched the old man for half a day, and did not come up with a proper way, I couldn't help but feel dejected, left the chess table, and turned to the women's group to see Chen Shulan's chess game. At a glance, I almost laughed out loud. Why do you say that? It turned out that the development of the chess game was exactly the same as the dismantling in the morning, but the black side did not come out of the best hand at all, but had long ago mistakenly taken the soft of the cannon 2 into 1 dozen, and was retreated by Chen Shunshi to the mouth of the river to exchange the seven road soldiers, and the first hand was rapidly expanded. Hei Fang was there holding his head and thinking bitterly, but Chen Shulan looked quite relaxed, looking confident. I couldn't help but laugh dumbly: Where is Black Chess playing chess with Chen Shulan? It's all about fighting with Liu Dahua! The foresight of Willow in his heart could not help but be admired.

After a circle, I turned to the first unit, and saw that the situation was still Xu Tianhong's upper hand, Zhao Guorong seemed to be relieved under the tenacious resistance, who expected Xu Tianhong to be in the chest, and the offensive was in full swing after a car change. It seems that Zhao's failure is only a matter of time. Who are you in the second unit of the two members? However, it was Lü Qin, who had suffered a tragic defeat in the last round, who met his old rival Li Laiqun, and the two were evenly matched, neither dared to take a risk, and signed a peace agreement after less than 30 rounds of fighting.

I ran to the other side again to see the two Zhejiang chess players on the fourth stage playing in the same room. But yu Yuhua took a big gulp and smoked a cigarette, and his face was heavy; Chen Xiaokun's appearance was quite funny: originally his expression was very serious, but due to the misfortune of suffering from a cold two days ago, a white nose was stuffed inside his nose, so people couldn't help but snicker at a glance. This game of chess began with a flying phase, Chen Ying passed the palace cannon, may be unwell and affected the state, at the end of the layout out of the inferiority. Yu Youhuadong watched the fire, and a powerful cannon hit the base, leaving Chen's left wing defense line full of holes in an instant. When I saw Yu's fierce sacrifice, I couldn't help but be secretly shocked: Desperate Sanlang is indeed worthy of the name!

I walked around the arena and finally found that heavyweight Hu Ronghua was fighting the 7th stage, and his opponent was Zhao Qingge of Liaoning. In 1978 and 1984, the Liaoning team won the national team championship twice, and Zhao was the main player; especially in 1984, in the team competition held in Hefei, Anhui Province, Master Zhao sat on the first stage, and once effectively defeated the heroic feats of "Sanhua" (successively defeated Hu Ronghua, Liu Dahua, yu Youhua), and made great contributions to the final victory of the Liaoning team.

But seeing Hu Ronghua's expression was extremely painful, there were words in his mouth, as if he was counting chess moves, and after a while, he shook his head, grinning as if he had just taken a bite of sour grapes. I couldn't help but feel sympathy at first glance: Commander Hu had just fulfilled his dream in Nanjing last year, and he had gathered enough gold medals in the individual competition to "one dozen", and it seemed that this year was also a difficult road! Yesterday playing with fire won the Wanfu Chu, and today I encountered this difficult bone, will it be less fierce? Thinking of this, I stretched my neck to look at it, but I saw that Lao Hu's black son had been completely pressed, and Master Zhao's main force was locked at home, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the victory drum could be beaten. On the other hand, Master Zhao had a calm face, did not move, and looked as stable as Mount Tai. I am very amused: if you don't look at the chessboard, you will definitely think that Old Zhao is in a good situation, and Old Hu Ding is doomed.

There are too many chess games in the arena, which really keeps me busy! Fortunately, I have a small advantage, that is, I have the ability to never forget, and I can barely remember the chess game I am concerned about. Since I have entered the treasure mountain, will I return empty-handed? It was there that he spun around and continued to watch the chess game unfold. Only to see chen Shulan take the lead, he played his bold style to the fullest, and a BMW colt circled upwards, stepping through the opponent's city and gaining a valuable point. Looking at the first stage, Xu Tianhong's car and horse double cannons went out to besiege Zhao Guorong's general's palace, and although Zhao had two cars and one horse, he was also overstretched and struggling. At the end of the battle, Xu Tianhong forced Zhao Guorong to also come to a car for a double, forming a victory situation in which Xu used both cars and artillery to fight against Zhao Che and horse pawns. Zhao Guorong may not have been able to accept this cruel fact for a while, but still stubbornly resisted, making onlookers feel tragic and majestic. For a moment, the crowd dispersed one after another, and it seemed that they could not bear to see the scene of Zhao conceding defeat. I looked at Zhao Guorong's indomitable countenance from a distance and the miserable situation of powerlessness to return to heaven, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Not long after, Zhao Guorong finally conceded defeat. I walked away from there to see Mr. Liu's chess game.

At this time, Cui Yan began to launch the final attack, and the three armies of the car, horse and artillery cooperated with tacit understanding to tear open the defense line of the black side; Liu Dahua saw that the situation was irretrievable, shook his head and admitted defeat, and then briefly resumed the plate with Cui Yan, and got up and left his seat. He walked to the passage outside, looking tired, so that we did not know how to comfort him. But the unhappy expression was only for a moment, he quickly returned to normal, asking Chen Shulan: "How are you?" Chen nodded, "Won!" Liu Dahua immediately became happy: "Good! Tomorrow, if you try to win, the champion has 60% hope! Chen Shulan's face also glowed with excitement: "Hu Ming also won!" Willow let out an "Oh" and said, "Let's go down and look at the standings." ”

I followed them to the third floor and looked at the women's points situation, which was really a bit complicated: Chen had to win in the last round, and then I had to watch the results of other stages, and it was likely to compare the scores with others. Liu Dahua said to Chen Shulan: "No matter how much, we will win tomorrow and then talk about it, and if we don't get it, we will resign ourselves to fate!" ”

At this time, the other members of the Hubei team have successively ended their chess games and walked down. The result, of course, is that some people are happy and some people are sad, and there is no need to make a detailed table under the bottom. So a group of people returned to the guest house and prepared for dinner. On the way, Qian just asked me: "What level are you at in your place?" I replied, "Top ten!" Qian Gang said: "Then we may be at the same level, you come to my room at night, how about we communicate?" I thought to myself, "How good are you as a journalist?" Kill you! Immediately he said happily, "Good, good, I'll go when I'm done eating." Liu Dahua laughed: "Qian just thought about chess addiction?" Well, there's an opponent here! He Jin, you be careful, he is quite powerful! "I was taken aback, but it inspired me even more.
