Fenggang Town was awarded the title of "Chess Town" by chinese xiangqi association, and officially listed on August 17th, 29, becoming the first town-level national "Chess Town" in China. Fenggang Town is the hometown of a generation of chess master Yang Guanlin. The celebrity effect of Master Yang Guanlin has always played a positive role in creating a unique chess culture in Fenggang Town. Among the numerous chess brand activities in this town, the Yang Guanlin Cup National Chess Open, which has been held for three consecutive times, is the most prestigious. It has attracted more than 7 China chess masters such as Lv Qin and Xu Yinchuan, and more than 24 chess masters from 15 countries and regions such as the United States, France and Southeast Asia to sign up for the competition, and is known as the "World Cup of China Chess".
In addition, last year, Fenggang Town invested more than 4 million yuan to build the first chess theme square in China-"Yang Guanlin Chess Square", and normalized the weekend chess competition, quarterly chess open and chess league matches in this town, effectively forming an atmosphere of national participation. Next, Fenggang Town plans to publish "Biography of Yang Guanlin" before the 4th Yang Guanlin Cup National Chess Open, and continue to enrich the cultural connotation of the national "hometown of chess".
