The Life of Characters in Chen Songshun's Works

Due to various reasons, Chen Songshun did not participate in the official national competition, but its strength is recognized as one of the first-class masters in the 1950s, and it is a master without the title of master.

Chen Songshun, 1920, was born in Taishan County, Guangdong Province. When I was young, I studied under Lei Fayao, the king of Taishan chess. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, he began to challenge all experts in the county and won the "child prodigy" medal. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he studied under Zhong Zhen, the "chess fairy" in Hong Kong.

During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he traveled to Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places with his skills, which made him famous. 1949 represented Hong Kong in the "Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Macao Triangle Interregional Chess Competition" and tied for the championship with Lu Hui, who is known as the "Four Kings of Guangdong". By the end of1940s, Chen Songshun's chess skills had reached its peak, and his reputation as "South China Dragon" was widely spread at home and abroad.

In the early 1950s, Chen Songshun fought side by side with Yang Guanlin, a chess star from Dongguan, and played against Hong Kong, Macao, Beijing and Shanghai, Han and Shanghai for many times, with remarkable achievements. Known as "the first in Yangcheng" and "the invincible doubles".

With Yang Guanlin, who is five years younger than himself, becoming more and more famous, Chen Songshun's dominance in South China's chess world has been seriously threatened. 1in June, 953, the famous battle of ten sons between Yang and Chen kicked off in Guangzhou Lingnan Cultural Relics Palace. In this battle, Chen Songshun won the first game, but then lost three games in a row. Although struggling to catch up, he pulled two games in a row, but in the crucial eighth game, Yang Guanlin won with the advantage of many soldiers, and finally won with the best game.

For this ending, chess fans in Chen Songshun think that Chen lost a little "injustice" in the first half of the game, and they are not convinced, so they propose to fight another ten games, while Yang and Chen Ye find it difficult to convince the public by winning or losing only one game. So the two sides promised to play ten more games.

1February, 954, the second encounter between Yang and Chen was in Lingnan Cultural Relics Palace. After the first game of the big battle between the two sides, in the second game, Chen Songshun once again seized the fighter plane and took the lead with a fierce offensive. Subsequently, the two sides played six games in a row. In the ninth game, Chen Songshun could be in an invincible position as long as he played one game. Unexpectedly, in the last battle, Yang Guanlin grinded for 200 rounds and finally defeated his weak opponent. Then, Yang Guanlin, who equalized the score, made another coup in the last game. 160 successfully broke the city, and finally came from behind, winning all the games and staged a big reversal.

Yang and Chen's two ten-set contests left a precious historical story for the chess world. Unfortunately, Chen Songshun, who was reversed twice, decided to "disarm and return to the field" and quit the art forest hegemony. 1956 the first national individual chess championship was held in Beijing. It is stipulated that each city can only send one player to participate in the competition. Yang Guanlin and Chen Songshun went to Beijing as athletes and referees respectively. Since that year, Chen Songshun has been a referee for decades, and he can be called the "granddaddy" of the referee. 1987, Chen Songshun became the first referee to win the title of chess referee.

Affinity Wuyang Cup:

As a referee for 2 1 session in a row, he suddenly got pneumonia and didn't want to get off the line of fire.

198 1 year, Guangzhou chess ushered in a happy event-Yangcheng Evening News and New Sports magazine jointly founded the "Wuyang Cup" national chess championship. At that time, Chen Songshun, who was also the deputy director of the Referee Committee of China Qi Xiang Association, naturally became the only candidate for the highest-level tournament referee in China.

"Unexpectedly, I have done 2 1 session. Chess friends say that I have changed from black hair to white hair in these 20 years. " Speaking of Wuyang Cup, Chen Songshun immediately talked to Kan Kan: "In the first competition, there were only three chess kings, Hu Ronghua, Liu Dahua and Yang Guanlin. At that time, the conditions were very simple. I live in the municipal party Committee guest house, with four hard beds in one room, each bed is two yuan; After the game, each player only gets a dinner allowance of 50 cents. Everyone will take the money to the food stall to drink some rice porridge and eat some fried powder. Although the conditions are poor, everyone won't care ... "

He has ruled the Wuyang Cup for more than 20 years. What impressed him? Without thinking, Chen Songshun said, "Of course it is the fifth competition. One night, Liu Dahua played against Li Laiqun. It took more than 9 hours from 7: 30 pm to 4: 40 am the next day, setting a historical record. It was a little cold then. At about 3 am, I couldn't help but want to go back to the White Swan Hotel and add some clothes. I didn't want to feel a little dizzy at that time, thinking about the war while walking. I mistook Ren Minqiao for a white swan approach bridge and made a big joke! "

Chen Songshun is extremely responsible for his work. One thing left an unforgettable impression on the reporter: Chen Lao suddenly got pneumonia in the 19 Wuyang Cup 19 match and had a fever that day, but he didn't tell anyone and still insisted on going to the stadium for arbitration. Until he went back to the hotel to sleep at night, Chen Lao, who had covered two quilts, still felt cold all over and asked the reporter to cover him with another quilt. Seeing that the situation was different, the reporter immediately called the doctor to understand the heat, and even had a high fever of 39 C. What moved the reporter was that Chen Lao, who was already terminally ill, repeatedly said that his illness did not matter and insisted on not going to the hospital. The next day, under the persuasion of relatives, he agreed to leave the hotel and go to the hospital for treatment. When he left, he was still obsessed with his work, and specially told his disciples to do a good job in judging and ensuring the smooth progress of the Wuyang Cup.

Since the 2 1 Wuyang Cup, Chen Songshun has given the young people the responsibility of judging. Despite his advanced age, he continues to care for and support the Wuyang Cup as a consultant. Now every game, Chen Lao still goes to the scene to watch chess, rain or shine.
