"Young Hero in Shu" Zheng Weitong
A myth is being written in the chess world
”
From October 31 to November 11, the 2021 National Chess Men's First Division League began a 12-day closing match in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Guangdong, Zhejiang, Henan, Beijing-Hebei, Sichuan, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Sports Lottery, Heilongjiang, the top leaders of the 12th Road gathered to compete for the throne.
As of the 17th round of the competition on the 3rd, Zheng Weitong, a famous Chengdu player who represented the Guangdong team and "Shuzhong Young Hero", won 6 consecutive wins after 11 consecutive wins in the first stage, and the myth of 17 consecutive wins became a good talk. Defending champion Chengdu Yijin Holdings team Cheng Fawei jumped to the second place in the table with a fantastic six consecutive wins at the beginning of the second stage.
The "Gemini" flies in both wings
In the chess world, in recent years, with the strong rise of the "Young Heroes in Shu", the competition between the "Gemini Star" in the chess world, Wang Tianyi, who ranked first in the country, and Zheng Weitong, who ranked second in the country, has become a lively topic about the first place in the new grade. As the pace of the winning streak continued, Zheng Weitong was once only 9.8 points behind Wang Tianyi, which is also a rare difference in the grade between the two in recent years within 10 points. But the "alien" Wang Tianyi is also full of energy, especially after defeating the bitter hand Jiang Chuan, once again expanding the lead to 10+. There are two 2730+ in the Chinese chess world, and the "Gemini Star" is worthy of the name.
After entering Tsinghua University last year, Zheng Weitong's record declined. Xiao Zheng has regained his form and his performance this year can be described as perfect. At the National Games chess tournament held in August, he won the open men's individual championship, finally fulfilling his dream of winning the National Games. In the league, he was even more unsuccessful, setting a record of 17 consecutive wins in the chess world. The previous record was ten consecutive wins set by Xu Yinchuan and Wang Tianyi.
Zheng Weitong previously said that after a period of running-in at Tsinghua University, he gradually adapted to the life of learning + competition. "In college, I have a lot of contact, and I feel that playing chess is more open. In the past, I attached too much importance to my grades and could not fully play, but now my psychology is more relaxed than before. ”
17 consecutive wins, the "Young Hero of Shu" sword refers to the first elephant armor shooter king.

The Chengdu team is full of momentum
In the 11-round match of the first stage of the Xiangjia in May this year, the defending champion Chengdu team ranked fifth and performed mediocrely. Half a year later, the elephant armor reignited, and the Chengdu team played well in the sprint stage of the regular season, and the performance of 6 consecutive wins was amazing. By the 17th round, the ranking had jumped to second place.
However, Chengdu coach Li Aidong did not have the slightest pride. He said: "The opening soldiers of the second stage performed very well, and the young general Xu Wenwen also defeated Jiang Chuan, which greatly boosted morale. However, in the regular season sprint stage can not be careless, the last few rounds are the most critical. ”

At present, the eight-time champion Guangdong team is at the top of the list, and the advantage is still very large. The competition between the 2nd and 8th places is fierce, especially the gap between the second group and only one or two wins, which is also the biggest variable. Although there are 10 places in the playoffs, the difference between second and eighth is a world.
According to the schedule, from October 31 to November 11, the regular season ends on the morning of November 7, and the playoff competition begins at 6 p.m. that day. The first game of the playoffs is the 7th and 8th places against the 9th and 10th places, the winner plays the 5th and 6th places, the winner fights the 3rd and 4th places, the winner advances to the final four, and the first and second places compete for the final seat through the knockout round. In other words, the tenth place in the regular season needs to pass five levels in a row to win the championship, while the first place and the second place are waiting for work, and only need to pass two levels. Therefore, the higher the regular season ranking, the greater the advantage.
