Liu Dahua is a legendary figure among Chinese professional chess players. Despite being 73 years old, he still retains his competitive spirit in the chess world. In one of his live broadcasts, when asked by the audience if he admired certain chess players, he replied without hesitation: "In the chess world, I don't admire anyone!" If I have to mention people I admire, then I admire Hu Ronghua, who has won 14 national championships. ”
These words caused thousands of viewers to laugh, and many viewers let out "hahahaha...... in the barrage". But in reality, Liu Dahua is not without opponents. Looking at the records against other professional chess players, we can see that Liu Dahua has a higher win rate against Xie Jing and Yang Guanxuan, which are 53 and 64 respectively7％。As for other national champions, such as Hu Ronghua, Xu Tianhong, Tao Hanming and Yu Youhua, Liu Dahua's record is also quite good.
However, Liu Dahua seems to have had a poor time with some of the other national champions, with only a win rate of between 35 and 45 against the likes of Lu Qin, Xu Yinchuan, Li Laiqun, Zhao Xinxin, Zhao Guorong and Sun Yongzheng, and against Wang Tian.
First, Zheng Weitong, Jiang Chuan, ** Wang Teda and Xu Chao and others have a winning rate of only between 25 and 34. Even so, Liu Dahua still believes that he is not convinced by any chess player, which may be the arrogance he should have as a professional player.
Although Liu Dahua is old, he still maintains a high level of enthusiasm and concentration for chess. His superb performance and perseverance in the chess arena have set a glorious example for future generations. His words also make us realize that in competitive sports, the strong will never throw in the towel.
