Around the 1920s, Jiangdu (Yangzhou), located in northern Jiangsu, was one of the chess activities in Jiangnan, where tournaments were often held and more famous chess players were produced, such as Huaiyang Sanjie Wang Haoran, Zhou Huanwen and later Zhang Jinrong. In the "Three Masters of Huaiyang", Zhou Huanwen and Wang Haoran are older, and Zhang Jinrong is a rising star, and Zhang Jinrong is addicted to it when he touches the tattoo.
Zhang Jinrong, born around the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), lived in Yangzhou. From his youth to his youth, Zhang Jinrong has unconsciously improved his chess skills from the neighborhood to the teahouse. Later, because he admired Wang Haoran, he studied under Wang Haoran and became Wang Haoran's introductory disciple. Under the guidance of Wang Haoran, he was further improved and reached the level of a first-class master. To this end, Zhang's chess style is quite influenced by Wang, known for its femininity and meticulousness, and has the characteristics of slow chess. When Zhang Jinrong was more than 20 years old, his chess skills had matured, and the second-way chess players in the tea houses such as the teaching field were defeated by him. When Zhang went to Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai, he defeated many local famous players, such as Hua Hongquan and Xu Zhenbao in Suzhou, and Bao Zibo in Zhenjiang. In the early years of the Republic of China, he and Wang Haoran had changed their backgammon and won against each other.
In 1916, The famous Yongjia player Lin Yixian showed his skills in Shanghai, sweeping through many famous players in Shanghai with the formation of the middle cannon and the horse cannon, and won the reputation of "invincible middle cannon". Favored by the rich gentleman Zhang Jiuru, he funded the lottery and set up a ring in the tea house, and whoever won won the silver ding. Wang Haoran, who was at the peak of his chess skills, went to Shanghai to challenge after hearing the news. When Wang left Yangzhou, Zhang Jinrong thought it was time to challenge Zhou. On this day, Zhang played chess at the teahouse of the teaching field as usual, and when talking about the two famous players in Yangzhou, Zhang Jinrong expressed disdain for Zhou Huanwen's head cannon, believing that without master Wang Haoran, he could pull him off the horse. Some of his supporters of this remark, but the pro-Zhou faction disagreed, and both sides put forward their own reasons. The Pro-Zhang Faction believes that Wang Haoran's kung fu is meticulous and has won twelve hand championships is a fact; the Pro-Zhou Faction says that the previous game between the two was a chess match, and Wang relied on fine kung fu. Later, Zhang actually said: If Zhou dares to play against the game, may the ten rounds be accompanied by a screen horse.
Although this controversy did not directly reach Zhou Huanwen's ears, Zhou still knew. On this day, Zhou played chess in Zhang Yuying's house. Zhang Jinrong heard the news and rushed to go, and in the game, he could not help but tease a few words, so it triggered Zhou's opinion on Zhang. Zhang believes that when the head cannon always takes the lead, it is an empty sentence, and it must be tested in actual combat. At this time, Zhou Huanwen was not only dissatisfied with Zhang's provocation, but also the current scene also made him have no way to retreat. Zhang Jinrong finally achieved the goal of challenging Zhou.
The news of Zhou and Zhang Yuezhan soon spread in the Yangzhou chess world, and when the game was held, the peak of watching chess came. Because this is not only the battle of Watching Zhou and Zhang, but also the battle of the head cannon and the screen horse.
In the battle of Zhou and Zhang, The five innings of Zhou Xian went to the head cannon, and Zhang Xian should use the screen horse; Zhang Xian's five innings were all opened with the screen horse, and Zhou mostly used the middle cannon in order to get away with the advantage of the cannon. According to the "Guangling Yishi Collection", the result of the ten-game match, Zhang achieved a clear victory. This result may be that Zhang Jinrong is slightly younger and more energetic, or that Zhou Huanwen's mood has fluctuated, or that Zhang Jinrong's pre-match preparation is fully related. According to legend, Zhou and Zhang fought a second game, still Zhang Sheng, which produced two results: one was that Zhang Jinrong's fame was one level higher, so he had the reputation of "Huaiyang Sanjie"; the other was that He took away Zhou Huanwen. Because Zhou did make some preparations before accepting the challenge, he was determined to win, but he still lost the chess, and he felt that he had no face to appear in the Yangzhou chess world again. So he signaled to his relatives and friends in Shanghai and wanted to practice medicine there. This is the direct reason why Zhou Huanwen became a doctor in Shanghai in his later years. Perhaps there is providence in the underworld, from one of the famous "Huaiyang Three Masters" to become a Shanghai doctor, but it will heal many patients, and it may be a better choice to practice medicine in the world.
Zhang Jinrong thus rose from this reputation, Yangzhou chess circle "Meng Yujun" Zhang Yuying held a tournament in the house, invited good players from all over the southeast to participate, Zhang Jinrong faced all kinds of heroes, the record was impressive, and finally won the gold medal.
Due to the prosperity of chess activities, many famous chess players from other places have been attracted to Jiangdu (Yangzhou), and in the early 1920s, the famous Nanjing chess player Wan Qiyou was one of them. On this day, Wan Qiyou and Zhang Jinrong played a game in Zhang Yuying's house, known as "Chess Meng". The guest Side Wan Qiyou has visited Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Zhenjiang, Hangzhou and other places, but has not met the enemy, and has the title of "General Changsheng". The main party, Zhang Jinrong, is the youngest among the "three masters", energetic, superb in chess, and has the reputation of "slow national hand". The guest side is bound to win, not only to win medals, but also to maintain the name of "Changsheng General"; the main side will want to break the enemy to maintain the reputation of Yangzhou's chess world. Due to the high skill of the guest, it is not easy for the main party Zhang Jinrong to capture the enemy. At the critical moment of the central game, Zhang had not yet come up with a winning move, so he got up and left his seat. This move attracted Wan's attention, because in the game yesterday, Zhang also left his seat halfway and returned for a long time, and then he abandoned the magic to break the siege.
Lin Rongxing initially threw himself under the door of the famous player Luo Tianyang, and later worshiped Bao Zibo as his teacher. In 1933, he was brought to Shanghai by Wan Qiyou. Shanghai's chess players are concentrated, Lin Rongxing's talent has been fully exerted, and his chess skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has unconsciously reached the level of famous players. Since Lin's rise in Shanghai, the people who played chess with him have been a little afraid of him. "Little Hangzhou" Dong Wenyuan said, "Lin's chess is difficult to deal with, and he is unwilling to send him money", which means that he is unwilling to play chess with him. The "White Lotus Sect Leader" Li Wushang also admired Lin and admitted that Lin's chess was harder than his own. Hui Songxiang and Lin play chess, the chess moves by Lin first are Lin Sheng, and the chess that Is taken by Hui first and the chess that are played by Hui are also chess, and Hui Songxiang said afterwards: "Such a powerful chess has never been seen in my life." Even "Xiangqi Commander-in-Chief" Xie Xiaxun had been defeated by him, which showed Lin's sharp "shaving his head" kung fu. Once speaking of zhou Deyu, the "seven provinces chess king", Lin said that he wanted to fight, and Li Shangwu was very supportive of this, believing that Lin and Zhou could fight completely, and the odds were greater, and he was willing to go to Hong Kong with Lin. After Zhou Deyu knew the purpose of Lin's coming to Hong Kong, he collected Lin's game score research and found that Lin's chess was almost all official, so he came up with a countermeasure. After Lin arrived in Hong Kong, Zhou set up a banquet to entertain him, during which he asked Lin whether he wanted fame or profit, and said: "If we want profit, we should not fight, because once we have exchanged hands, you will be famous, and it will be difficult to get profit." He also said with great concern: "Hong Kong is more than a big lottery, introduced by me, if you lose, the lottery will be paid by me, and if you win, you will earn half of the income." "It's a good idea, Lin is a poor boy, of course, to profit, so as to avoid this battle." During Lin's stay in Hong Kong, under the pseudonym Wang Yiming, he played against Huang Songxuan, playing four games in total, and winning two rounds. When Lin returned from Hong Kong with a full load, Zhou said: "In the future, when you come to Hong Kong and I go to Shanghai, neither side will fight." Zhou, as the most prestigious chess player at that time, was so strong all his life that he was reluctant to play against Lin.
Zhang Jinrong and Lin Rongxing began to play chess, Zhang originally swallowed the ground slowly according to his own model, but Lin Rongxing's chess was extremely fast, as if he did not need to think, in Zhang's view, it contained the meaning of contempt. Zhang is a big name, and he is of course dissatisfied with being slighted by an unknown young man. So he moved his breath, and after it was difficult to play chess with peace of mind, he unconsciously sped up, the first set was quickly lost, the second set was also lost quickly, and he lost six sets in one morning.
Tu Jingming, originally from Wuxing (present-day Huzhou City), a native of Shanghai, was born in 1922 into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He is 1.70 meters tall, has a wide body, a loud voice, is cheerful in his work, and is warm and sincere to people and things. He was a young man and a brilliant man who went hand in hand in culture, medicine, and chess. At the age of 14, Tu Jingming's father died of illness, and Tu Sui prematurely took up the burden of the family. At the age of 16, he was listed as a medical practitioner at the intersection of Xinye Road in Nanpi Road, Shanghai, and the following year he moved to the Chinese medicine store on Guangxi North Road to sit in the hall, and as soon as he had free time, he studied "Tangerine Secret" and "Plum Blossom Score", and his chess skills were also improved. He joined the Shanghai Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the age of 18 and became a veritable Chinese medicine practitioner.
At that time, a large number of famous players in China, such as Zhou Deyu, Dou Guozhu, Zhu Jianqiu, Luo Tianyang, Li Wushang, etc., often talked about it here, and Tu Yu went to watch the game to enter the table, and through the repeated combination of theory and actual combat, he greatly broadened his horizons. In addition, Zhou Deyu, the leader of the chess league, also came to Tuzhi Pharmacy for medical treatment, and when Tu Zaitang was idle, he also warmly invited the head of the "Three Musketeers of Yangzhou" to give guidance. Years of spring and autumn are fleeting, and the level of Tu's chess skills in his youth has reached the ranks of national famous players, at this time, Zhou Deyu, who is 22 years older Thang Jingming, took the initiative to propose and then fight with Tu, from the original Tu Gong's "Chang Xian" to "First Xiang Xian" (that is, in the three games of chess, Tu Gong two first and one after).
After the liberation, the "Shanghai Qingqi Du" organized by the Shanghai chess community was established in the Eight Immortals Bridge Youth Association, and the 27-year-old Tu Jingming served as an adviser, guide, and later president. In 1950, Shanghai's Yi Bao and the Shanghai Youth Chess Society jointly held the Shanghai Municipal Tournament, and the news was just sent, and the number of applicants reached 300 or 400. Tu Jingmingshi was the editor of the chess column of Yi Bao, and he launched the "Xiangqi Competition Regulations" in the "Yi Bao", and it is reported that hundreds of chess games were played in this tournament, sweeping away the embarrassing situation that there were always chess case disputes in the past chess competitions at home and abroad, which also played a certain foundation for the "Chess Rules" used in the first national chess championship in 1956 six years later.
In the 1940s, Tu Jingming fought against famous players Dou Guozhu, He Shun'an, Zhu Jianqiu and other famous players in Shanghai, and the results were also mutually successful, and later in the early 1950s, Tu Jingming, Lin Rongxing, Li Wushang, He Shun'an and Zhu Jianqiu were listed as the "Five Tiger Generals of East China". In 1952, Tu Jingming faced Xie Xiaoran of Beijing in Shanghai, who was then known as the "Southern Yang and Northern Xie", and fought fiercely in Chenghe, Yiping with Yang Guanxuan, and Yiping with Dong Wenyuan in The Second World War. In the spring of 1955, Tu Jingming and He Shun'an jointly defended Guangzhou, Wuhan and Beijing on behalf of Shanghai, and played more than 20 open matches with Yang Guanxuan, Chen Songshun, Li Yiting, Luo Tianyang, Jinghua Zhang Dekui, Hou Yushan and others, with a total score of 10 wins, 15 and 6 losses. At that time, there was a saying in the Beijing chess world that "three xionghui jingshi", and the three xiongs were Yang Guanxuan, He Shun'an, and Tu Jingming. There are many more achievements in his participation in the chess world, invitational tournaments, exhibition matches, etc., I will not repeat them.
In the winter of 1956, after chess was included in the sports program, various materials related to chess skills were valued. In 1959, the Shanghai municipal team was established, and Tu Jingming and He Shun'an served as coaches. Before and after this, Tu Jingming also served as a referee for many national chess championships. In 1962, the Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House decided to compile a large-scale reference book "Ci Hai" and invited Tu Jingming to write an article, which did a great thing for the chess world.
In 1982, the Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House decided to compile a "Sports Dictionary", which was commissioned by Tu Jingming to compile an entry on chess, and since then the sports world has had chess content. Later, Tu Jingming compiled the Chinese Chess Dictionary, and also co-edited the Chinese Chess Notation with Yang Mingzhong and others.
Wang Haoran, one of the "Three Masters of Huaiyang", originally from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, was born around the time of the Qing Dynasty, Wang's father was a small businessman, and it is said that he owned a small grocery store in Zhenjiang and loved to play chess. Get nurtured by the family. Wang Haoran has loved to play chess since childhood, and because of his good understanding, he not only received his father's praise, but also surprised his neighbors. At that time, the chess field in Zhenjiang was larger than Ruiyuan and Chunsheng garden, where many chess players gathered. The Baji are the most famous in the chess world, and the average person can make two horses. Because of his love of chess, Father Wang often took Xiao Haoran to the tea house to watch chess, and sometimes, the disciples of the Baji people let the two horses play a few games. Around 1890, Wang's father went to Nanjing for business and took Wang Haoran with him. After the business, Father Wang took Xiao Haoran to play chess at the tea house of the Confucius Temple, and won three consecutive victories. As a result, the famous chess player "Zou Duck" was attracted, indicating that let the three first play, and Xiao Haoran intended to win the praise with two wins and one loss, at that time, Xiao Haoran was only 17 years old. After returning to Zhenjiang, he originally wanted to win the name of "Zou Duck" and ask the Baji people for advice, but because the Baji people often went out with the bad boat, they could not get the opportunity to ask for advice.
When Wang Haoran was about 19 years old, he already had a small chess name in Zhenjiang, and several disciples and friends of the Baji people, such as Li Zhiliang and Zhou Qiushui, could not beat him. Wang's chess skills have gradually matured, Wang Haoran learned that the center of chess is in Yangzhou, so he packed his bags and came to Yangzhou, because of the "chess taste" Zhang Yuying's funding has no sense of guest residence, just worry about the chess table. At that time, in the Yangzhou chess world, Zhou Huanwen seemed to be the leader of the alliance, but Wang Haoran came here to show his skills, and the chess community also understood that Wang Haoran's strength was really not under Zhou, plus Wang Haoran's chess products were excellent, he was humble in nature, he did not like to show publicity, and he respected Zhou Huanwen, and the chess community attached great importance to Wang Haoran.
In the mid-1910s, Lin Yixian, a famous chess player in Zhejiang, conquered Jiangnan and was almost invincible. In 1917, when he was in Shanghai, Lin Yixian defeated The First Shanghai Player, Li Liying, after winning many good players in a row. Lin Yixian tan started with a medium cannon, which was called "invincible middle cannon" for a while. Because of Lin's outstanding achievements, he was appreciated by a rich gentleman and hired him to set up a chess ring in Shanghai. The Shanghai chess community sent a special person to Yangzhou and invited Wang Haoran to Shanghai to play an open game with Lin Yixian, wang Haoran gladly agreed to the agreement after learning of this situation, and went with Zhou Huanwen, who took the lead in fighting Lin Yixian, that is, he was defeated. It was Wang Haoran's turn to play, and after fifty rounds of the open game, Wang Haoran won one more round with a soft kegang! At this point, it shook the chess scene in Shanghai and the whole country. At that time, the "commander-in-chief of the chess world" Xie Xiaxun praised Wang Haoran, which also led to a letter from the Beijing chess world in 1919 to Wang Haoran, specially inviting him to beijing to play, the Beijing giants at that time Meng Wenxuan, Meng was hospitable and happy, the four masters came to Beijing to play in Mengfu, Meng Fu was a daily chess battle, Meng Wenxuan himself liked to use the cannon, there was a deep study of this, Meng was the first hand in Beijing at that time, and did not meet the opponent in Beijing. Because Wang Haoran experienced the attack and defense of the middle cannon in Lin Yixian, Yi Lai also knew it. On this trip to Yanjing, Wang Haoran and Meng Wenxuan played twenty games first, the two sides were equally divided, Wang Haoran returned to Yangzhou with honor, and later Meng Wenxuan often mentioned Wang Haoran to his beloved disciples Na Jianting and Zhang Dekui, and Xu Wang Haoran was the first fierce enemy in his life. For a time, there was a saying of "Southern King And Northern Meng". Wang and Meng Yin admired each other, and it is said that Hou Yi married Jinlan.
In the mid-to-late 1910s, Wang Haoran's chess skills tended to peak, and after winning the championship in the Yangzhou Twelve Hand Competition, he was rated by the chess community as "free and flowing in chess, good at using horses". Its corner horses defend the middle of the attack, galloping in all directions, and bending to the fullest. Every time you can ride a horse and win by surprise. In the famous bureau appreciation of "Jiangnan Scenery", Jia Titao called Wang Haoran "the first hand in Yangzhou".
Wang Haoran's chess style is more meticulous than meticulous, rarely taking the offensive strong middle artillery, basically using the first hand to enter the military game, and mostly using the "corner horse" when the back hand. According to Mr. Yang Zhaohong before his death, the queen's hand should deal with the "immortals to guide the way", and nine times out of ten should be the flying elephant bureau. The "corner horse" name game (four games) selected by Mr. Jia Titao in the "Chess Forum" was all played by Wang Haoran. Because Wang Haoran used horses magically, over time, he was called "Divine Horse" by the Jiangnan chess community. Therefore, Wang Haoran is known as the "divine horse".
In the Yangzhou or Zhenjiang chess world in the early years of the Republic of China, everyone knew that Wang Haoran was humble and humble, but the chess friends did not have a premonition about Wang You's idea of hiding the chess world. It was not until the early 1920s that Wang Fengdao hung up his seal and announced that he would withdraw from the game in the future and would no longer make a living from chess, that the chess friends were surprised.
Why did the king withdraw from the altar of elephants as soon as possible? In the early decade of the Republic of China, the chess arena of Yangzhou Zhangzhai was basically presided over by Wang Haoran. There are indeed many jianghu chess players who come to Yangzhou to play in the ring, and in the contact, Wang always sees and hears the poverty of these chess players, and some even have problems eating. For example, when Wu Songting, a famous player in Hubei, came to Yangzhou, although he was wearing a long shirt, he was full of oil; when playing chess in the tea house of the teaching field, even if he won the lottery, he only dared to eat a chowder rice. This made the king have the idea that chess and food are difficult to eat, and he always wants to find an opportunity to retire and find another profession, so that he will not be frozen and starved in his old age. In the early twenties, Zhang Jinrong's skills were mature enough to take over from him to preside over Zhang Zhao's chess ring, so he explained the reason to the owner Zhang Yuying. Zhang Yuying is worthy of the title of "chess cup taste" and gives a large amount of money. Wang used this money to open a small shop for business, and when he had free time, he also went to Zhang Zhai to play Go.
Although Wang Haoran has disappeared from the world of chess, his concern for the cause of chess or the descendants of chess has not disappeared. There is one thing that can explain the characteristics of his "divine horse". In the early twenties, after Zhou Huanwen left Yangzhou in anger, several new entries emerged in the Yangzhou chess world, such as Dou Guozhu who opened a tea shop, Zhou Deyu, the son of Zhou Huanwen, and a younger Zhu Jianqiu, and the chess skills have also become more and more sophisticated. Zhu had repeatedly asked Wang Haoran for guidance, but Wang always refused. When Wang Haoran announced his withdrawal from the elephant altar, Zhu Jianqiu's hopes seemed to be in vain, so Zhu decided to go out and go out. Unexpectedly, just after he was desperate, suddenly Wang Haoran sent someone to call him. According to "Zhu Jianqiu Admires Wang Haoran", Wang said to Zhu: "I heard that you are going to go outside to see and see, of course, this is necessary, now let me give you a pound." It took three days for them to play a draw. Wang Haoran's actions made Zhu Jianqiu particularly admired and deepened his impression of the "divine horse." This happened around the end of the twenties.
Xie Xiaxun, a pioneer in the Chinese chess game. On October 1, 1887, Xie Xiaxun was born into a peasant family in Fengchao Township, Pingyang County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, the son of Xie Gong. Later, he moved to the west gate of Pingyang County. When Xie Xiaxun was 14 years old, he moved to Shanghai.
Xie Xiaxun learned chess from his father at the age of 6, and began to read the ancient chess score "Tao Liao Xuanji" at the age of 10, and his chess skills were well-known in the township, known as "the prodigy in chess". At the age of 13, he fought with Wenzhou chess champion Chen Sheng into a draw, and became famous in Dong'ou. Later, he and Lin Yixian exchanged ideas. In 1908, he applied for the primary school teacher, served as a teacher at Baisha Primary School, and taught at Humen Primary School the following year. Later, with the help of relatives and friends, he was admitted to Wenzhou Normal School, and before march, his father died of illness and dropped out of school, and later taught at Longhu Primary School as the secretary of the Education Association. In his youth, he once put the national shame since Daoguang into a mess in order to pour out his patriotic heart. In 1912, he wrote for the chess column of the Shanghai "Current Affairs New News". In 1918, he won the individual championship of Chinese chess in Shanghai, and in 1926, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the national chess world, known as the "King of Chinese Chess".
Lu Hui (1904-1994), also known as "Shed Boy", was a native of Shunde City, Guangdong Province, and one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Guangdong. Lu Hui is about 1.80 meters tall, slightly thin, modest in character, and very popular. Lu Hui's father, Lu Quan, who lived in HenanXixia, Guangzhou, took the shed as his profession, and because he loved to play chess since childhood and gradually became proficient, he was quite accomplished in the "Five Seven Cannons", and was a famous chess player in Guangzhou at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Lu Hui inherited the door style, not only with his father to build a tent for the profession, but also with his father to learn chess and play fine. Therefore, Lu Hui's chess skills are passed down from his family.
Lu Hui gradually started in the chess world in Guangzhou and went to an open realm, which is related to Feng Ze (Feng Jingru). At that time, Feng Ze often set up a chess stall at the Huaguang Temple in Dangan Lane, Henan. Here is the only way for Lu Hui to go to the shed to work, Lu Hui, who has a considerable foundation in chess, loves to play and in order to hone his chess skills, every time he passes through Feng's chess file, if there is no chess player to start, he will put down four copper plates, the next game of chess, to Feng Ze to open the market. This accumulated over time and gradually improved his chess skills. Lu Hui practices chess, not only at home, but also to challenge other famous players. After Lu Hui's chess skills initially grew, he looked for an opportunity to test his sword. At that time, the game of chess in Haizhuang Temple and Wujia Garden was already relatively lively. There, Lu Hui initially looked for second- and third-rate chess players to play, always had the upper hand, and for about a year or so, Lu Hui's reputation gradually rang out, and everyone knew that Lu Hui's son Lu Hui's chess was better than his father's.
The "Southeast Competition", which is of significance to the history of modern Chinese chess, has played an ignition role in the chess world of Guangdong Province. After that, the chess circle in Guangzhou became more active, and under the ardent wishes and requests of many chess players, the first Guangdong Provincial Chess Tournament finally began. The chess tournament was hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education in the winter of 1931, and the venue was in Guangzhou, but the participants were not limited to the region, as long as they registered in Guangzhou and competed, they all belonged to the scope of participation. As soon as the news spread, more than 140 people participated in the registration from all directions. The competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final and final. The preliminary round kicked off on 20 December and lasted for 6 days on the 25th. For Lu Hui, who has become famous in the Guangzhou chess world, there seems to be no problem in entering the rematch, but he unexpectedly highlights the accident. It turned out that Huang Songxuan drew sixteen groups, and Lu also drew sixteen groups at the same time, so Lu and Huang were fired in the preliminary round. At that time, it was a three-set two-win system, the first set Lu Ying won without winning, the second set Lu Hou went to lose, the third set Lu hou went, and eager to turn over the book, he actually returned fire with a rather loss-making column gun, and the result was lost to Huang. Fortunately, at that time, considering the situation of the two finalists meeting, the loser and the loser could still enter the next round of the game, so Lu and the chess player Zhao Peitong qualified for the rematch of the twelfth group.
The rematch adopts a single round robin system, the winner has 2 points, the chess piece is 1 point each, the loser is not allowed to score, and because there are still 23 people participating in the competition, after 22 rounds and 4 days of competition, Huang Songxuan won 17 wins and 5 he, Lu Hui won 19 wins and 1 and 2 losses, the same score scored 39 points, followed by Feng Jingru 38 points, Li Qingquan 37 points, and then the score gap is more than 6 points. According to the regulations, the top three will enter the final, that is, Huang, who also scored 39 points. Lu and 38 points of Feng carried out. In order to increase the warm atmosphere, the game adopted a unique "human chess" form, and the venue was set up in the open-air square. On the last day of 1931, in the square inside the Great Buddha Temple on Huifu Road in Guangzhou, a chessboard with pink lines lay wide on the ground, and the chess pieces were played by the boy scouts of Renwei Elementary School. According to the schedule, Lu Hui first played two sets of chess against Feng, the second was Feng against Huang Yihe and one loss, and the last game was won by Huang against Lu. In the preliminary round, Lu lost to Huang twice because of the missed opportunity, and although he wanted to fight in the rematch, Huang Kung Fu was old enough to end in a draw. Lou was runner-up and was known as the "King of Asia".
When the provincial tournament entered the final, Huang naturally did not dare to take Lu lightly, and tried to avoid Lu's "five seven cannons" in the move, but in this way, he also restrained himself, so Lu's first game, although there was no "five seven cannons", but the battle was very fierce, and by the tenth round, there was a better situation, and finally Lu won with the car artillery and one soldier and one soldier in a better position. Unfortunately, the battle has been exhausted three times, and the runner-up has returned, and the "Four Heavenly Kings" have also been born!
After liberation, Lu Hui rarely participated in the competition of the field, especially after the Cultural Revolution, the Guangzhou chess world was full of talents, but he still could not leave the field, and he played chess continuously. In addition to going to the Museum of Literature and History once a week for routine study, he did not leave chess, participated in the chess art explanation activities at the First Workers' Cultural Palace and other places, and made due contributions to the prosperity of the chess industry. It not only exercises his body and mind, but also promotes longevity and health in the game of chess.
Because of the stable life after liberation and the quality of Lu Hui himself, he talked about chess and typhoon innocence, was very personable, and gave people a beautiful image. When he explained the game, he often wore a white silk short-sleeved shirt in the summer, holding a white paper folding fan, which was both a fan and a prop; in winter, he wore a blue cadre suit, a black hat, and black cloth shoes with rubber soles on his feet, a simple and innocent look. Lu Lao is very punctual in chess, his home is on the south bank of the Pearl River, far from the first palace, when there is his chess activities, he always arrives half an hour early, or sits and rests, recuperates, or talks with the chess players. His philosophy of life is that He knows his destiny and does not argue with people. Although Lu Lao's culture is not high, he is not as rich and rational as some chess critics, but his accent is clear, his voice is loud, his tone is depressed and frustrated, and he has a board and an eye. And commonly used in practical terms, and increase the interest of talking about chess, such as "three sons return to the side into a game", "sub can solve the siege", "chess chess, there are chess, no chess", etc., often can be just right to embellish the chess commentary, increase the fun. When Lu Lao made a chess review, he also liked to introduce the attack and kill games, especially the matches of Wang Jialiang, Meng Liguo, Han Fude and so on of the Northern Sect, which were even more vivid. Sometimes when it comes to the key, Lu Lao sells a pass to let everyone think for a while, but then says on the amplifier: "Cough, don't be afraid, people still have good chess." Then he put the wonderful chess and solution, and said it like a finishing touch, so that chess fans can improve their knowledge of chess in the spiritual enjoyment.
