Today I will start to talk to you about the "second oldest" in the chess world, the first thing to say is the first person in my heart- Zhiduoxing Li Laiqun. Again, the old rule, let's get an introduction.
Li Laiqun, Chinese chess grandmaster, born in 1959 in Handan, Hebei Province, began to learn chess at the age of 11, began to receive professional training in chess in 1977, won the first individual championship in 1982, he won four national individual championships, namely 1982, 1984, 1987 and 1991. It is the first men's individual chess champion in the north since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the northern chess player crossed the Yellow River for the first time, ending the situation of the southern chess player dominating, the master is the famous Liu Dianzhong, and the apprentice is the famous Yan Wenqing. Li Laiqun began to abandon chess in 1993 to engage in business, and is now the boss of Hebei Real Estate Company, and his value has already exceeded 100 million.
Li Laiqun should be the one with the most nicknames in the chess world, for example, his nicknames are "Zhiduoxing", "Chess King", "Chess Saint", "Divine Operator" and so on. It is a pity that so many people with honorary titles have abandoned chess and engaged in business too early. At least why abandon chess from the quotient I'll talk about later.
One: Friendship with chess
Li Te da and chess association is not like many chess players now, very early began to contact, Li Laiqun is not early, he began to learn chess at the age of 11, this age is indeed relatively late, but the talented people start late, the achievement is not low at all, he was 11 years old when he was 1970, Li Laiqun was learning chess with the old masters on the street, the old masters were watching from the sidelines when they played chess on the street, a look at the time is very long, a long will delay writing homework, naturally indispensable parents' rebuke, but interest is the best teacher , academic delays interest in hobbies, so Li Laiqun students are interested in chess, so when playing chess, pay attention everywhere, every time they play against people, how the other party goes, what good moves, and how to win, he carefully observes. Lying in bed at night, he will recall it again, silently remembering, this is the so-called review, accumulated over time, some chess stalls on the streets of Handan City, where there are any masters, what are the chess styles, chess characteristics of those masters, have been touched by him thoroughly, his chess skills improve very quickly, the higher the chess skills, the higher the interest, the higher the interest, the higher the interest, the higher the chess skills will naturally be, this is a virtuous circle, so on a certain day, he met a person who can say that he changed his life - the famous chess master Qin Lianyuan.
Qin Lianyuan saw that he was smart and his chess skills were also good, so he accepted him as an apprentice, so Li Laiqun had a skilled teacher, and under the guidance of Qin Lianyuan, Li Laiqun's chess skills were even more refined.
Two: Studied under Liu Dianzhong
As mentioned earlier, under the guidance of Qin Lianyuan, Li Laiqun's chess skills improved rapidly, so in 1977, Li Laiqun became the first member of the Hebei Provincial Chess Team and began his professional training. After that, Li Laiqun became a disciple of the chess grandmaster Liu Dianzhong, and under the guidance of the famous master Liu Dianzhong, this gave his increasingly abundant wings to take off. Li Laiqun's chess style at this time has been formed, his chess style is to attack and kill sharply, calculate accurately, calculate far-reaching, of course, the speed of chess is also slow, and the mentor Liu Dianzhong praised his beloved disciple: "Laiqun's chess style is delicate, step by step, like 'python entangled', do not give the opponent any chance." His competitive and life-fighting personality makes him pay more on the chessboard than others and win more. At this time, Li Laiqun was already ambitious and wanted to compete for a place in the chess world.
If you want to have a place, you must have good results to support, how is his performance before winning the championship?
In 1977, Li Laiqun, who had just studied chess for a year, won the seventh place in the national individual competition for the first time;
In 1978, he won another fourth place;
Next in 1980, 1981 won the third and second place, it is worth mentioning that in the last round of 1981, Li Laiqun accumulated 18 points at that time, the hope of winning the championship is great, the second place is Liu Dahua, who only accumulated 16 points at that time, but due to excessive nervousness, a night without sleep, resulting in abnormal performance, and finally relegated to the second place! The results are getting better and better every year, and the runner-up in 1981 has been won, and the championship is not far away.
Three: The "battle for supremacy among the princes" in the chess world began
Modern Chinese chess has had several "eras of great unification", such as the "Hu Yang Hegemony" from the 50s to the early 80s, the "Lingnan Shuangxiong Era" from the 90s to 2010, and now the "Gemini Era of the Chess World", and the Chinese chess circle in the 1980s is the era of the princes competing for hegemony, Hu Ronghua is like "Zhou Tianzi", Liu Dahua, Li Laiqun, Lü Qin, Zhao Guorong, etc. are like princes.
At this time, the chess world is the era of a hundred flowers, Liu Dahua was born in 1980 to end Hu Ronghua's rule over the chess world, and in 1982 Li Laiqun ended the rule of Liu Dahua (the champion in 80 and 81), and then Lü Qin (the third place in 1982, the champion in 86 years), Zhao Guorong (the fifth place in the individual competition in 1982, the champion in 90 years) appeared, and began to compete for supremacy.
Focusing on the 1982 individual competition, this year's stage belongs to Li Laiqun.
Li Laiqun's road to the top is still relatively smooth, and the only big stumbling block is Hu Ronghua, and Hu Ronghua is the only person Li Laiqun is jealous of. (After Li Laiqun, it can also be said that Hu Ronghua is more jealous of people.) On December 7, 1982, the National Chess Individual Tournament was held at the Chengdu Chess Academy. In the 3rd round, Li Laiqun and Hu Ronghua met. Li Laiqun plays red chess first, and it is difficult to distinguish between the opening and middle stages, and the fleeting opportunity appears in the endgame stage. This comparison of Li Laiqun has been deeply remembered for many years, according to his recollection of the endgame stage is like this: "Soldier nine into one, ma 3 into 5, ma nine into eight, elephant 7 back 5, this is Teacher Hu's trick at that time." If he had gone like 7 back 9, the situation would have been better for him. "I watched this game, it is true that Hu Ronghua has walked like 7 back 5, it is this step that caused Hu Ronghua to lose his son and admit defeat, so a new generation of chess kings was born, and Li Laiqun became the king of chess. After the game, Hu Ronghua also spoke highly of Li Laiqun, and the original words were: "Li Laiqun won the championship is not accidental, he has accurate calculations, rigorous layout, no leakage, and winning the championship is well deserved." ”
His ascent also confirmed the prediction of his mentor Liu Dianzhong that he would be able to win the national championship in three or five years.
Chinese chess entered the era of hegemony among the princes.
Writing this only to find that Li Laiqun still has a lot of things to write, I am also tired of writing, so I still plan to leave the rest for the next article to write, today I will write this first, if you want to continue to read, pay attention to my next article.
