Collection is a world-famous "chess city". In recent years, under the leadership of Chengdu’s construction of a world-class city, the “chess city” has not only emerged in many young and new talents, but also senior coaching talents are also the treasure wealth of the “chess city”.
Recently, Chengdu International Checkers Team head coach Gao Shengjian became the first international checkers senior coach in China. He is also the first "double high" coach in China to be a senior coach in international chess and international checkers. Another senior chess coach, Li Aidong, has just successfully completed the online training task of the national chess team preparing for the World Championships.
The 17th World Chess Championship will be held on October 23 in Malaysia . Four athletes, Wang Tianyi , Wang Kuo , Chen Xinglin and Zuo Wenjing will represent the Chinese team to participate in the competition. In order to better complete the competition task of winning glory for the country, The Chess and Card Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China arranged online training for four chess players. Two national team coaches Lu Qin and Li Aidong, as coaches of this online training, completed the task successfully. It is worth mentioning that the new master of Chengdu chess team, , Xu Weng, also participated in this training camp as a sparring training, and the quality of the game with Wang Tianyi and Wang Kuo is very high. As a summary of the end of the training camp, Li Aidong proposed: "The effect of the five-day preparation training is still very obvious. The players have gradually entered the state. I would like to remind you that during the game, we must try our best to avoid competitors using the rules of world chess to force us to chess." He said that this is the first time that Chengdu Chess Academy has participated in the preparation for the World Championships, which has a great impact on the further development of Chengdu chess.
Gaoshengjian has recently become the first senior coach in China for international chess and international checkers. Gao Shengjian served as the coach of the Chengdu Chess Team from 1990 to 2008, and was promoted to senior coach in 2006. He has served as the head coach of the Chengdu Checkers Team since 2008. He also takes into account chess work, which can be called a "double gun general". Regarding these two projects, Gao Shengjian said, "I started learning chess at the age of 8 and have a complexity for chess. I am the men's personal champion in the first Chess Young Sprout Cup in Chengdu. After shifting the focus of work to international checkers in 2008, I was not very adapted to this emerging project at the beginning. As a group of chess players such as Zhou Wei, I gradually gained a sense of accomplishment." As the only "double high school coach" in China, Gao Shengjian said, "There are too many coaches who are smarter than me and talented than me, and I just persisted." In addition, Chengdu's first international checkers youth team was established recently, with a total of ten players in the first batch, and Gao Shengjian will also serve as the head coach of the youth team at the same time.
Over the years, Chengdu has cultivated many excellent coaches. They are the wealth of the "chess city", and they have also contributed their own strength to the construction of the world event city in Chengdu.
