Huang Renjie won the "Belt and Road" National Chess Open

Born in 2004, Huang Renjie has made rapid progress in recent years, winning the Chinese Division Championship of the Men's World Chess Championship in 2021 and getting the first grandmaster sequence point of his personal career. At the Spanish Open this summer, Huang Renjie scored his second grandmaster order point.

A total of 8 grandmasters participated in the open group competition, and Huang Renjie's ranking only ranked sixth among all the players. Huang Renjie did not get into form quickly at first, especially after losing to Turkmenistan's Sapalmilat Atabayev in the second round. Then Huang Renjie reorganized himself and got better and better in the following matches, especially in the last three rounds to complete three consecutive wins under pressure.

In the end, Huang Renjie won the open group championship with 6-2 and 1-minus 7 points, with a performance score of 2615 points. Atabayev won the second place with 6.5 points, and Chinese player Dai Tianfang won the third place with 6 points. In the challenge group, Chinese youngster Zhang Zhiji won the championship with 7.5 points. Through this competition, Hwang's real-time rating has risen to 2,504.4 points after a 16.4 point increase. It is worth mentioning that because this tournament is a Swiss points tournament, the specific opponents in each round are dynamically changed according to the overall performance of other players, although Huang Renjie's 9 opponents are from 3 chess associations, but because as many as 7 people are from the Chinese team, he failed to get his third grandmaster order points.

"I did set the goal of winning the championship before the match, but the first two rounds did not go smoothly. The first round lasted more than four hours and was won by a fluke. In the second round, the pair and I didn't accept and then lost." "After losing, I adjusted my mind, became sober, and I became more and more open," Huang said. In the later games, Huang Renjie paid more attention to starting from actual combat, chose the game strategy more realistically, and his performance was getting better and better.

Although this time in the case of the achievement of the standard is only because the opponent is not up to the standard, and the third super sequence points missed, but Huang Renjie was not discouraged. He said that although there are regrets, there are still plenty of opportunities behind, and then he will continue to work hard to improve his chess skills, striving to stabilize the level at 2500 points first, and then continue to distribute an impact to 2550.
