In today's chess world, Wang Tianyi's mature attitude and personality convergence as the first chess player have attracted attention. In the face of Dang Fei's outspokenness, Wang Tianyi showed restraint that was different from the past. In a live broadcast, when Dang Fei mentioned that he was competing for the championship with the Hangzhou team led by Wang Tianyi, he confidently said: "Every chess player in our team is not afraid of Wang Tianyi. Although this statement may be an exaggeration, it reflects Dang Fei's self-confident mentality.
In the face of Dang Fei's "provocation", Wang Tianyi chose a more rational and generous response. In the live broadcast, although he was dissatisfied with Dang Fei's remarks, in order to avoid further disputes and possible war of words, he chose more thoughtful words. Wang Tianyi said: "It's normal for others to be not afraid of me, after all, the gap between professional chess players is not big. This response shows his maturity and self-control as the first person in chess.
Dang Fei had previously expressed respect for Wang Tianyi during a chess game review with Wang Tianyi online, which showed that the competitive relationship between them was not unfriendly. Wang Tianyi's generosity and restraint in this exchange effectively avoided a fierce clash of words, showing his mature demeanor as a top chess player.
