Ancient chess player: Zhou

Zhou (1820- 189 1) was a chess player from Qing Daoguang to Guangxu. Mingding is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu.

When he was young, he learned chess from Qiu Hang and got two sons, who played against 100 games. At the age of 2/kloc-0, he became a national player, competing with Chen Zixian, Li Zhanyuan and Zhou Xingyuan many times, and sometimes he became famous early. The governor of Anhui, the envoy of salt transportation in Huai River and Huai River, and the prince of Su Long Zhuo were all attracted by recruiting talents.

In the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870), he played chess with local famous player and Chen Zixian, and the chess score was selected in Anhui Travel Notes.

In his later years, he was invincible in chess and traveled widely. He traveled to Anhui, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places, all of which gave way to chess. Most famous chess players in the late Qing Dynasty accepted their guidance directly or indirectly.

Chess is as famous as Chen Zixian and is famous for its profound skill.

He is the author of "Comments on Chess", and the selected music scores include "Old and New Music Collection" and "Zun Tian Jue Zhai Yi Pu" (co-edited with Li Kunyu and others). The receiver is partly included in Zhou's receiver spectrum, and the opposite play is published in Waiting for the Bright Moon Shushan Caotang, and partly preserved in Hangzhou.

Zhou and Chen Zixian were chess players in the Qing Dynasty. Because they set an example, they reached two peaks in chess. During the Tongzhi period, the two men fought in Han Yingfu, the governor of Anhui Province, and played 21 games.

Zhou speaks highly of himself. When asked about the competition with his North Korean counterparts, he replied: "If you can't fight the enemy, the rest will fight the ear."

In his later years, due to physical strength and other reasons, Zhou gave up a son when playing chess with his younger generation, which also led to an underestimation of his chess skills.
