Wang Tianyi, a legend in the chess world, has been working silently in the Hangzhou team for many years, and has never left. Perhaps out of his preference for a stable life, he chose to stay in this team for a long time and become the mainstay of the team. However, despite the outstanding results, Wang Tianyi still has a regrettable stone in his heart, that is, he failed to lead the Hangzhou team to win the championship of the Xiangjia League or the National Chess Team Competition. Over the years, these honors have almost been monopolized by the team led by the super-first-class chess player Zheng Weitong, which also makes Wang Tianyi feel helpless.
When talking about this topic in the live broadcast room, Wang Tianyi's helplessness was overflowing. Although he failed to lead the team to win the championship, the Hangzhou team has cultivated many chess masters under his leadership, which is his indelible achievement! Even if players such as Guo Fengda and Zheng Yuhang do not improve their chess strength significantly after being promoted to grandmaster, having the title of grandmaster can still add a boost to the confidence of non-master professional chess players.
This year, under the leadership of Wang Tianyi, the Hangzhou team finally won the third place in the national chess team competition, which is of great significance: it provides the opportunity for non-master players in the team to become masters! Among them, Zheng Yuhang was successfully promoted to master with the third place in the team competition and a 50% win rate. As the 16th master trained by the Hangzhou Branch of the China Chess Academy, Zheng Yuhang's promotion has brought great encouragement. With his joining, the Hangzhou team now brings together a group of chess masters and grandmasters, and the strength is incomparable!
Wang Tianyi's struggle in the Hangzhou team for many years finally came to fruition at this moment. Perhaps in the coming years, he will lead the Hangzhou team to realize the dream of winning the team competition, but there will definitely be a super-first-class chess player Zheng Weitong in the way, and it will be a fierce competition. Wang Tianyi's success is not only reflected in his personal achievements, but also in his achievements in assisting the Hangzhou team in cultivating chess talents. May his efforts and persistence one day usher in the most splendid moment!
