Li Yiting's last enemy was "old friend" Wang Jialiang of Heilongjiang. Wang Jialiang has no chance to enter the top three at this time, but if he wins, he may still be in the top six. Therefore, Wang Jialiang's chess game came up and slammed into the game, not thinking about the chess. This is also in The mind of Li Yiting, because if he wants to win the championship, the safest thing is that he must first win, so that he can have the capital to compete with He Shun'an and others. Wang Jialiang attacked too quickly, a bit reckless, and as a result, the strong attack failed but lost a horse, and Li Yiting won this crucial game with a steady and powerful move.
Although Li Yiting successfully completed his task, it is still unknown whether the championship belongs to him, because He Shun'an, who shared the same points with him before the game, also successfully defeated his opponent Kaifeng Tian Jiashu. In this way, Li Yiting and He Shun'an both have 26 points, and they need to compare other conditions to finally divide the ranking of the two. After careful verification, it was found that when the two played against each other, they had to look at how much time it took when the two played according to the rules at that time, so that Li Yiting, who played against the two, was lucky enough to ascend to the championship throne because he spent less time than He Shun'an, and Although He Shun'an was the only one who remained undefeated in this competition, he could only be relegated to the second place, and Yang Guanxuan won the third place.
Recalling He Shun'an's "catch and release of Cao" to Li Yiting in the first game, Jing so dramatically decided that the status of the two in the chess world can be called "disparity", and people can't help but feel a thousand emotions. A great man in the West once said: History is sometimes made up of chance. The fate of Li and He is such a portrayal.
Li Yiting won the national championship, which is a great joy in the sports circles of Hubei and Wuhan, and he is naturally "a hundred times worth a hundred times as much as a dragon gate" and has become a "treasure". In order to reflect the care and love of the organization, after the national competition, the provincial sports committee paid for it and sent someone to Shanghai to treat his congenital eye disease. Moreover, from then on, he became a cadre in the sports department of the provincial sports committee, which was undoubtedly the most important turning point in his life, because from his father he learned how important a fixed job and income are to a family.
After joining the work, although Li Yiting's salary standard is not low, and all aspects of the conditions have been improved, but because he is still responsible for the living and study expenses of his brother and sister, the burden is still very heavy.
After Li Yiting won the first national championship, before he could fully enjoy the joy of success, he threw himself into intense training and competition, because there was a more important and more difficult task waiting for him - in 1959, New China decided to host the first national games, and chess was also listed as an official competition item. As you can imagine, how important this conference is. Striving to achieve good results at the first National Games was the greatest wish of every athlete at that time, and Li Yiting, as the champion of the new science, of course, had such a mood even more urgent.
In March of that year, Li Yiting joined forces with another famous Wuhan player, Zhang Fangyou, to threaten Yu Wei, who won the national championship, and went east to Shanghai to exchange chess skills. During this period, Li Yiting had a very good record, defeating He Shunjiao, Xu Tianli and other leaders in East China, and then they took advantage of the situation to go south and rushed to Guangzhou to challenge the generals of Qicheng. After arriving, Li Yiting first captured Zhu Deyuan with 1 win and 1 draw, and on the third night, he called out to Yang Guanxuan.
This was the first meeting between the two males after the 1958 national competition, with Li Yiting first using the seven-way horse formation of the middle cannon, and Yang Guanxuan should cross the river with a screen horse double cannon. This layout is the treasure of Yang Guanxuan's town and mountain, and he does not know how many enemies he has killed and retreated in the face of battle, and in recent years, he has detailed his research experience in some newspapers and books, which has aroused the close attention of people in the chess community. In this regard, Li Yiting naturally will not turn a blind eye, and judging from the progress of the game, he is also prepared. In the middle of the game, Li Yiting rushed to cross the three-way soldiers, and then the horse followed the car, putting pressure on Yang Guanxuan's right wing. Although Yang Guanxuan had a cannon to sink to the bottom, his troops were scattered and his reinforcements were not sustained, and he finally failed to defeat Li Yiting's left and right attacks, and the result was less than 30 rounds, and he was defeated in only one hour.
The next day, it was the turn of Yang Guanxuan, who went first, to open the game unexpectedly with a flying match, intending to win by surprise. However, because Li Yiting won the first game, this game of chess held the purpose of "peace is precious", but the position was tightly guarded, so that Yang Guanxuan could not exert force, and finally the two sides exchanged peace.
This "expedition", Li Yiting can be described as a great gain, especially with 1 victory and 1 victory and making Yang Guanxuan a subject, which made him feel satisfied.
In preparation for the National Games, Wuhan held a chess tournament at the Hankou Gymnasium on April 23, 1959, and Li Yiting, who was full of vigor at the national competition, showed his superhuman strength in the Wuhan chess world at this time, and won the championship easily and unexpectedly.
In July, Li Yiting went to Hefei to participate in an invitational tournament for nine city stars, known as the outpost of the National Games. All in all, before the National Games, Li Yiting's preparation work was not interrupted for a moment, and he felt that his state of mind was good. When it was time to prepare for the "tightrope walking" to see the real kung fu, the chess tournament of the National Games began on September 14, 1959, in the main hall of the Beijing Municipal Working People's Cultural Officer. Because of the large number of projects and the number of participants in the National Games, in order to save money, the number of participants in some projects has been limited to a certain extent, according to the competition regulations, the participation in the chess competition to the province, municipality, autonomous region as a unit, can only send one person to attend the competition. Because of this "harsh" regulation, some of the influential figures who were calling the wind and rain on the national arena in previous years did not even have the opportunity to participate in the chess competition of the National Games, among which the typical ones were Shanghai Xu Tianli and Heilongjiang Zhang Dong rafters, who had to "change their professions" to play chess and show their skills at the National Games in another "identity".
The chess tournament included 26 athletes from 26 units (Jiangxi and the People's Liberation Army, which did not participate): Beijing Hou Yushan, Shanghai He Shun'an, Hebei Wang Jiayuan, Shanxi Wang Qingjie, Liaoning Meng Liguo, Jilin Zhao Zhenyin, Heilongjiang Wang Jialiang, Inner Mongolia Wang Guifang, Shandong Chen Tiancai, Jiangsu Huisongxiang, Anhui Mai Luxing, Zhejiang Liu Yici, Fujian Chen Shuihua, Henan Ma Jinkui, Hubei Li Yiting, Hunan Li Dingyi, Guangdong Yang Guanxuan, Guangxi Yong jiapeng, Yunnan Deng Peng, Guizhou Lin Cailiang, Sichuan Liu Jianqing , Shaanxi Wang Yuping, Gansu Wu Yanxiang, Ningxia Ma Kuan, Qinghai Jin Qilu, Xinjiang Li Chengyi. The competition is divided into two stages: pre-production and final. The preliminary stage is arranged into four groups by lottery, which is a single round robin, and each group admits the top two to qualify and enter the final.
Generally speaking, in people's impressions, for those strong players, the preliminaries are only for them to "warm up", and there will be no problem in qualifying. But where to expect, it is precisely in the preliminary round that the "problem" has emerged early.
