In the final round of the professional men's team competition of the 5th National Mind Games (referred to as the Smart Games), the post-00 chess master Xu Wenwen of the Sichuan team suffered a heart-wrenching defeat. At that time, Xu Wenwen was overturned and killed by the veteran Nie Tiewen of the Heilongjiang team in the advantageous local situation, which made the Sichuan team lose a valuable gold medal, and the Sichuan team only won the third place, which was a heavy blow to Xu Wenwen, but he was not depressed because of this.
On the contrary, this failure became an important turning point in his growth. In the next Chinese Chess League (referred to as Xiangjia), Xu Wenwen was like a butterfly out of a cocoon, showing a brave performance. He defeated three grandmasters in a row – Lu Qin, Lu Weitao and Lai Li. Such a winning streak is not only a testament to his quality, but also to his perseverance. In the first game of the semi-finals of the Elephant League, Xu Wenwen continued to maintain high morale and successfully defeated his opponent Wang Yang, becoming a veritable Wang Yang nemesis and winning a crucial point for his team.
Then, in the first match of the finals, Xu Wenwen once again faced the Vietnamese chess king Lai Li, the No. 1 foreign chess player in Shanghai, and Xu Wenwen defeated this powerful opponent again with his excellent performance and precise strategy. Then in the second game of the finals, Xu Wenwen killed Brother Lai Li again, and killed Brother Lai Li three times in one season, which can be said to have made the number one master of overseas chess lose face.
These victories are not only the highlights of Xu Wenwen's career, but also bring great encouragement to the Sichuan team. Although the Sichuan team failed to win the league championship in the end, Xu Wenwen proved his strength and potential as a young chess master with practical actions, and also let people see his infinite possibilities in the future and see the king of Sichuan chess.
