I met Liu Dahua twice, once ten years ago and the other two years ago. He was very tall, with a red face and a smile. He seemed to have known me for a long time, but I am an unknown chess player. A man from the countryside.
The first time we met was at a very grand chess competition in a seafood city in Yuxi City, the beautiful land of clouds and smoke. The Chinese chess king, chess grandmaster Dongfeng Computer Liu Dahua, and Grandmaster Wang Yuefei ( He was a master at that time and later became a grand master) and Guangdong Master Chen Fujie. The arena was set up in the Seafood City. Master Liu blindly challenged 6 amateur chess masters carefully selected from the 2nd District of the Seven Counties of Yuxi City. Wang Yuefei and Chen Fujie challenged 30 amateur chess players from Yuxi City. I was fortunate to participate in this event. I was placed in the group that challenged Wang Yuefei and Chen Fujie. But Master Liu's chessboard was placed right behind me. Master Liu was sitting on the sofa 5 meters away from the chessboard, holding a microphone and reading the chess score. The leader of the Xiangqi Association of our province played the game on Master Liu's behalf. The battle continued until sunset. Master Liu won with an unbeaten record of 5 wins and one draw. I lost the first set with Master Wang Yuefei.
Another meeting with Master Liu was two years ago, at the Chenggong Baozhu Pear Cup Xiangqi Tournament in Kunming. I also invited Master Liu to take a group photo with the participating chess players from our city. In this competition, I also witnessed Master Liu’s brilliance, blindly playing one against eight. Among these eight chess masters are Yao Hongxing and other masters, as well as several chess champions in our province. Master Liu’s blind chess moves and pharaoh’s tricks are extraordinary. , although he didn’t win many chess games, he played well. He was nearly seventy years old and his sword was not old. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Liu Dahua’s lofty status in the history of modern Chinese chess is personally considered to be more prominent in the following aspects: First, it ended Hu Ronghua’s ten-year history of dominating the Chinese chess world; second, the reputation of Oriental Computer. Blind one-on-one with nineteen people, setting a historical record. Although there is no one before and there will be others later, no one has surpassed it for a long time, which is amazing. Third, he has won many domestic championships and international championships. .
Fourth, I have never seen the book written by Liu Dahua. I don’t know whether it is a masterpiece, or maybe it is being conceived. It can be regarded as a shortcoming of Master Liu; fifth, he is still fighting at the age of seventy. He has performed well in competitions in various places, is brave and diligent, and has great energy. Looking at the current chess world, it is difficult to find a second person (Although Commander Hu is over seventy years old, he has not seen battles on the battlefield for a long time). 6. Therefore, Master Liu’s achievements cannot be concluded yet. They can only be left to be evaluated later and leave a name in history. There is no doubt that Liu Dahua must have a place in the history of chess. However, from the perspective of performance alone, Liu Dahua is not outstanding. His highlight is ending Hu Ronghua's ten consecutive victories and his shocking blind chess skills. In addition, he is generous and generous, willing to support the younger generation, and has many talents all over the world. These are Liu Dahua's plus points.
1. Born out of nowhere
Liu Dahua was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province in 1950. He was almost a chess player of the same era as Hu Ronghua. However, compared with the environment in which Hu Ronghua learned chess, Liu Dahua seemed to be struggling. Therefore, Liu Dahua is a chess player who does not occupy any advantage.
He learned chess at the age of 10 and often played chess with his brothers when he was a child. Because his family was poor and could not afford to buy chess, he gradually developed his blind chess skills. He is good at mid-game fighting, has fierce moves, and has a reputation as an Oriental computer. However, he has a frizzy nature and lacks in handling the delicate chess game.
In 1980, he took away the individual championship from Hu Ronghua, and successfully won it again in 1981. The chess world officially entered an era of competition among heroes.
2. The magical skill of blind chess
In 1995, Liu Dahua set a record of 1 versus 19 in blind chess in Beijing. Liu Dahua played secondhand throughout the game and achieved a score of 9 wins, 8 losses and 2 losses. This result shocked the whole of China at the time, and countless chess players were inspired by it and followed suit. The streets and alleys are full of people playing chess with their eyes closed. According to my observation, most of them are just cheating. What's more, many magic sticks who don't know what they are are also pretending to be big-tailed wolves. I have to say that this is how the magic stick was born.
In 2017, Jiang Chuan staged a 1 vs. 26 blind chess performance, successfully breaking Liu Dahua's record. However, according to gossip, many of Jiang Chuan's opponents are junior enthusiasts with a certain level of experience, and Jiang Chuan has the upper hand, which is conducive to the start of the battle. Therefore, Jiang Chuan's blind chess did not cause an earthquake in the chess world.
If Liu Dahua’s blind chess game back then was an 8-magnitude earthquake, Jiang Chuan could only be considered a 5-magnitude earthquake, which was not too destructive. Liu Dahua was shocked to death by a person, and Jiang Chuan was shocked to death by a chicken.
3. The world is full of peaches and plums
Liu Dahua has many disciples. However, there is no outstanding one, only quantity, not quality. Dang Fei can be regarded as Liu Dahua's close disciple. Apart from learning blind chess, he has no bright spots to speak of and can only hover in the range of ordinary masters. It has to be said that Liu Dahua does not have many accomplishments when it comes to recruiting disciples. It can only be said that he prefers to share his own experience and is willing to devote all he has learned in his life. From this perspective, Liu Dahua is a Open people are more selfless. After the author heard about Liu Dahua when he was a child, he began to want to study under him.
At that time, I had 100 yuan in my pocket but could not buy a train ticket to Hubei. In addition to my parents’ opposition, I had no choice but to give up. Every time I recall the past, I can’t help but feel sad. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely pay with WeChat and buy a train ticket, just for that original dream.
4. Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?
Liu Dahua is already 70 years old, but he is still struggling in the chess world. He can be said to be an evergreen tree in the chess world. However, Liu Dahua is old, and his current level is not very competitive and can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of the Weevil. However, his persistence and love for chess are awe-inspiring. Generally speaking, when a hobby becomes a profession, it will become boring, but Liu Dahua made people see a different world. He doesn't care about gains and losses, and is indifferent to the outcome. He just plays chess for fun. Chess is his life and I believe he will fight for it his whole life. Liu Dahua has won 2 individual competitions, 2 Wuyang Cup champions, and 3 Yinli Cup champions. Compared with such great champions as Hu Ronghua, Lu Qin, Xu Yinchuan, Zhao Guorong, and Li Laiqun, this result is indeed not outstanding.
Friends, do you like Liu Dahua? Welcome to leave a message and comment.
Liu Dahua’s status in the contemporary Chinese chess world is second only to several epoch-making figures, including Hu Ronghua, Yang Guanlin, Li Laiqun, Lu Qin, Zhao Guorong, Xu Yinchuan, and Wang Tianyi. In the 1980s, there were four Among them, he is known as the Great Heavenly King (the other three are Hu Ronghua, Li Laiqun, and Lu Qin). He is a talented chess player. He grew up in a poor family. He also experienced going to the countryside to join the team and worked as a boiler worker. With his amazing perseverance and diligence, He has his own place in the chess world, perhaps because of his chess style. Liu Dahua plays chess aggressively and sharply, so he inevitably loses more games. He has no era of his own, unlike Yang Guanlin, Hu Ronghua, Li Laiqun, Lu Qin, Zhao Guorong, Xu Yinchuan has always taken a big lead in national competitions and secured the championship in advance! Many people think that Liu Dahua ended Hu Ronghua's ten consecutive championships! The reason why Commander Hu lost the championship was because he lost to Yang Guanlin and lost the opportunity to compete early. The most favorable contender for the championship that year was Xu Tianli, who had been leading since the start of the competition. Liu Dahua relied on his final three consecutive victories to compete with Xu Tianli and Li Laiqun. The three of them had the same score. He won the championship with a small score. It can be said that he had a certain amount of luck. He also won the championship in 1981 and was two games behind. He relied on Yang Guanlin to defeat Li Laiqun because Li Laiqun took the lead against Yang Guanlin and Li Laiqun was ahead. He achieved six wins and three draws in nine rounds and was four points ahead. A draw in two games would definitely determine the championship. However, he lost two games in a row due to his change of mentality! Liu Dahua was lucky enough to have the same score as Li Laiqun, and once again won the championship with small points. It was also in the past few years that Liu Dahua was at his peak. In the same year he won the championship, he participated in the "Wuyang Cup" championship. Three people participated in the first session, and he beat Hu Ronghua. One win and one loss, one win and one draw against Yang Guanlin. Hu Ronghua and Yang Guanlin each won one game. Liu Dahua won the first championship of the championship! In the next two years, Liu Dahua actually has a good chance of winning the Wuyang Cup for three consecutive years and retaining the Wuyang Cup for a long time! It is a pity that in the second session, when the trophy was about to be won by a draw, he refused to aggrieve and seek peace and chose to attack and lose. Commander Hu equalized the score. He failed again in the next extra game of fast chess, thus losing the opportunity! He doesn't really have his own era, so he ranks second in the ranks of grand masters!
Different people will definitely have different answers to this question. In my opinion, to evaluate a person’s status in a certain field, we must look at his achievements in this field. Now let’s start with Let’s talk about Liu Dahua’s main achievements in his career.
As we all know, the grand master Liu Dahua is known as the "Oriental Computer" and. This title was of course due to his extraordinary memory. What Liu Dahua is most proud of is that in 1980, he won the national chess individual championship from Hu Ronghua, ending Hu Ronghua's "ten consecutive championships". In 1995, Liu Dahua set a record of 1 vs. 19 people in Beijing. The highest record in blindfolded chess has now been broken by Jiang Chuan, who has a better memory. Jiang Chuan created a world record of 1 versus 26 blindfolded chess.
Liu Dahua began to participate in the national chess competition in 1974. He won the third place in the national individual competition in 1978, the runner-up in the national individual competition in 1979, and the national individual championship in 1980. In 1981, he won the national championship twice. He won the "Wuyang Cup" championship for the first time and the "Seven-Star Cup" International Invitational Championship in 1988. He was a main member of the Chinese team that won the first, second, fifth, eighth and ninth Asian Cup team championships in 1991, 1993 and 1997. Three-time "Yinli Cup" champion.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from Liu Dahua’s career total record that compared to other super-class chess players, Liu Dahua’s record is still much inferior. In my opinion, if the national champion in the chess world is based on his record Ranking based on the standard "status", Liu Dahua should be ranked around 10th. After all, there are many players who are better than him in the chess world.
Liu Dahua was born in Wuhan, Hubei. He is a famous Chinese chess player and a chess grandmaster. He started learning chess at the age of ten. He is good at fighting in the middle game and has fierce moves. He is known as the Eastern Computer and Chess King.
In 1980, he won the national chess championship from Hu Ronghua, ending Hu Ronghua’s ten consecutive championships. It was the first and second Asian Cup Chinese Chess Competition and the second European Chinese Chess Championship. Member of the team champion Chinese team and won the individual championship.
On September 24, 2006, at the top of Yishan Mountain in Linqu County, he played a pair of twelve-yi blind chess at the request of the public, which caused a great shock in the country. Liu Dahua, as the leader of the Chinese chess community Character, leading Chinese chess to dominate the world, is a miracle in the history of world chess.
Superb second gear. Super-class: Yang Guanlin, Hu Ronghua, Lu Qin, Xu Yinchuan, Wang Tianyi. (Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, of course). Second gear: Liu Dahua, Li Laiqun, Zhao Guorong, Zheng Weitong. (Other extra-large ones can be put into the third gear).
Although Liu Dahua has some achievements, compared with Yang Guanlin, Hu Ronghua, and Xu Yinchuan, he is not in the same era. In terms of chess ability, he is not as good as Lu Qin, Li Laiqun and some of the current young players. During the live broadcast, he said that he only admired Hu Ronghua, and also said that Lu Qin and others had a single opening. I disagree with this view. I think it is not important what kind of opening a chess player uses. What is important is the quality of the whole game. For example, Yang Guanlin Yang Lao, in Hu Ronghua's words, whoever Yang Lao plays chess with will always hit the screen knight, but you can find that there are many classic games in Lao Yang's games, and there is one thing in Lao Yang's chess that most chess players do. If not, it means that there are no missed moves, at most there are some soft moves. As long as the opponent misses a move, he may be counterattacked by Yang Lao or draw. This is difficult for chess players including Hu Ronghua and other peak players to achieve.
Liu Dahua’s status in the chess world cannot be said casually, but Master Liu’s level has been witnessed with his own eyes more than 40 years ago. He was amazed and admired. Around 1979, he came to Xianning Hot Spring and played blind chess with more than a dozen chess players. Most of them won, a few tied games, and he only lost one or two games. In my heart, Master Liu’s status is extremely high. Last Sunday, I seemed to have seen Master Liu in Hankou, Wuhan Garden Expo Park. I didn’t dare to say hello, but just looked up at him with admiration.
At the chess stall in the summer of 1982, the mention of Liu Dahua was like thunder, and he was the most popular for a while, surpassing Yang Guanlin, Hu Ronghua, and Wang Jialiang
Starting from the first national chess individual competition, in More than 20 champions have been produced in more than 60 years. Only Yang Guanlin, Hu Ronghua, Liu Dahua, Lu Qin and Zheng Weitong can win the championship again. Even Xu Yinchuan was unable to achieve reelection. From this point of view, Liu Tada has undoubtedly reached a height that other champions cannot reach. In addition, when faced with a sure-win situation, Liu Teda never rushes to kill the opponent, but allows his opponent to accept defeat with dignity. This style of chess is also worth learning.
