In the past half century of chess competition, the position of the first person in chess has always attracted much attention. Whoever makes it to the top of the rating will be the best in the chess world. The battle for the throne usually takes place between the first and second in the ranks. Over the past 60 years, there have been many fierce competitions in the chess world, such as Hu Ronghua and Yang Guanxuan, Lu Qin, Xu Yinchuan, Jiang Chuan, and Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong. Although competitors are often the worst enemies, the competition between the older generation of players tends to be more harmonious. However, the competition between Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong is tense and fierce, which can't help but be eye-opening.
In 2015, Wang Tianyi joined the Sichuan chess team and fought side by side with Zheng Weitong to compete for the Sichuan team in the National Chess Team Competition, the National Mind Games and the National Individual Chess Championship. At that time, Zheng Weitong, who had risen strongly, posed a huge threat to Wang Tianyi's first-person status. However, in an interview, Wang Tianyi spoke highly of Zheng Weitong, believing that he is very hard working and talented, but his competition experience is slightly inferior to his own. Wang Tianyi even said that he did not agree with the statement that the future chess world will be dominated by Wang and Zheng. Zheng Weitong also praised in the interview: "Tianyi is a talented chess player, and I am very happy that he can join the Sichuan team." Although Wang and Zheng teamed up, the Sichuan team unexpectedly failed to achieve the desired results. Since then, the relationship between Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong has broken down due to fierce competition, and they are full of hostility towards each other, which is emotional.
In general, compared with the older generation of chess players, Wang Tianyi and Zheng Weitong seem to be somewhat lacking in their attitudes towards the world. This experience is thought-provoking and shows the complexity and changes of human nature in the chess competition.
