譚中怡 辣妹子有顆大心臟

譚中怡 辣妹子有顆大心臟

棋手小傳

譚中怡，生于1991年，重慶人。5歲半開始學(xué)習(xí)國際象棋，進(jìn)步神速。2000年至2002年，三獲國象世少賽冠軍，五奪代表全國分齡組最高水平的李成智杯。11歲成為職業(yè)棋手，15歲在全國體育大會(huì)擊敗棋后謝軍，20歲首獲世團(tuán)賽冠軍，奪得世界大運(yùn)會(huì)個(gè)人與團(tuán)體雙料冠軍，25歲以不敗戰(zhàn)績幫助中國女隊(duì)12年后重奪奧賽冠軍。2017年女子世錦賽折桂，成為世界國象史上第十六位棋后，晉升男子特級(jí)大師。

橫舉一柄長槍，瞄準(zhǔn)前方，仿佛正要扣響扳機(jī)—這張頗有“女漢子”氣概的照片，被26歲的譚中怡用作了微信頭像。3月4日凌晨，小譚沉寂近3個(gè)月的朋友圈更新了，寥寥數(shù)語和幾張照片，記錄了跌宕起伏的德黑蘭世錦賽之旅。

“譚中怡贏了，奪冠了！”2017年國象女子世錦賽決賽加賽當(dāng)晚，中國隊(duì)教練余少騰在微信群里，用語音激動(dòng)地向大家報(bào)告喜訊。出征前，或許很少有人預(yù)料到這個(gè)賽果，但擁有一顆“大心臟”的譚中怡打出了如此漂亮的“一槍”，為中國國象射下了第十一個(gè)棋后頭銜。

“沒想到能走到最后，愿望全都實(shí)現(xiàn)了。”直到抵達(dá)首都機(jī)場(chǎng)，譚中怡懸著的心才算完全落地。望著懷中的冠軍獎(jiǎng)杯，這個(gè)重慶辣妹子不改調(diào)皮本色，“如果說有遺憾，那就是這么艱苦的比賽，竟然還沒瘦下來?！?/p>

世錦賽遭遇6位對(duì)手，4次通過加賽晉級(jí)

征戰(zhàn)世錦賽前，譚中怡的等級(jí)分排在世界第十四位，在中國隊(duì)派出的7朵“金花”中，她并非最有希望的沖冠點(diǎn)。“以前我的最好戰(zhàn)績是32強(qiáng)，這次希望能走得遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)，別那么早回家?！弊T中怡從不掩飾對(duì)勝利的渴望，卻不愿用目標(biāo)禁錮自己，“拋開一切，努力去做就好。”

盡管擁有一顆平常心，但通往棋后的道路比想象中更為艱難。世錦賽第二輪，譚中怡與烏克蘭的前棋后烏什尼娜狹路相逢，兩盤慢棋打成平手，不得不通過加賽快棋一決高下。連續(xù)7輪較量，直至最殘酷的突然死亡快棋，譚中怡才涉險(xiǎn)過關(guān)。驚心動(dòng)魄的場(chǎng)面，連見多識(shí)廣的余少騰都連呼“太刺激”。

未曾想，“加賽”從此成了譚中怡前行的標(biāo)簽。世錦賽遭遇的6位對(duì)手，4個(gè)通過加賽決出勝負(fù)，譚中怡一次次被逼到懸崖邊，又一次次力挽狂瀾，強(qiáng)大的心理素質(zhì)和臨場(chǎng)能力令人驚嘆。最經(jīng)典的一戰(zhàn)來自半決賽，面對(duì)印度名將哈利卡，譚中怡在25分鐘快棋中先輸后贏，而后在10分鐘快棋先贏后輸，5分鐘超快棋一度瀕臨崩潰，卻被她頑強(qiáng)扳了回來，“泰山崩于前而色不變”的氣勢(shì)徹底壓垮對(duì)手的心理防線，使其在突然死亡快棋中因超時(shí)判負(fù)。

當(dāng)譚中怡在決賽再次上演“加賽好戲”，一舉擊潰以超快棋聞名于世的烏克蘭名將安娜·穆茲丘克，整個(gè)世界棋壇都被這個(gè)“過五關(guān)斬六將”的中國姑娘所折服。“這次譚中怡的加冕之路應(yīng)該說是這幾屆淘汰賽中最驚險(xiǎn)的一次，她在關(guān)鍵場(chǎng)次所表現(xiàn)的冷靜，即使放我在這個(gè)賽場(chǎng)上，恐怕都做不到她這么出色?！痹膴Z棋后的謝軍感慨道。

如此“定海神針”般的表現(xiàn)，對(duì)譚中怡來說已不是第一次。在2016年第四十二屆國際象棋奧林匹克團(tuán)體賽上，她以7勝4和的不敗戰(zhàn)績斬獲第四臺(tái)次金牌，幫助中國女隊(duì)12年后重奪冠軍。正如中國國象隊(duì)總教練葉江川所言，譚中怡身上有一種特別的韌勁和精氣神，“很多棋手到了一定時(shí)期可能會(huì)失去激情，失去前進(jìn)的動(dòng)力，但小譚跟我說過，她要集中精力好好下棋，而且要下很長時(shí)間，這一點(diǎn)非常值得年輕棋手學(xué)習(xí)。”

日積月累，換來世錦賽一飛沖天

在譚中怡之前，中國國象出過4位棋后，尤其是“天才少女”侯逸凡，20歲出頭已四度登頂，達(dá)到同輩女棋手難以超越的高度。不過，譚中怡卻沒有把“這座大山”當(dāng)成負(fù)擔(dān)，始終按照自己的節(jié)奏積蓄力量，“國象選手需要多積淀，我很清楚自己想要什么?！?/p>

這樣平和、冷靜的心態(tài)，源自譚中怡的成長經(jīng)歷。在她最初學(xué)棋時(shí)，“體育迷”父親本來想送她去圍棋班，因?yàn)闈M員才轉(zhuǎn)投國際象棋。沒想到，小譚天生就是下國象的材料，年僅10歲就三奪世界分齡組少年冠軍，創(chuàng)造了國際象棋界的一項(xiàng)紀(jì)錄。2006年全國體育大會(huì)上，15歲的譚中怡與棋后謝軍大戰(zhàn)數(shù)十回合，加時(shí)賽爆冷取勝，一戰(zhàn)成名。

或許少年時(shí)光太過一帆風(fēng)順，步入青春期的譚中怡一度遭遇“成長的煩惱”，徘徊在國家隊(duì)主力陣容之外。有一次，她向國家男隊(duì)隊(duì)長倪華討教女子殘局偏弱問題，前輩的秘訣無外乎兩個(gè)字：刻苦。于是，譚中怡加大了訓(xùn)練量和比賽量，每年不算快棋要下200盤左右，一步步提升棋力。“我知道傷仲永的故事，我絕不會(huì)續(xù)寫?！弊T中怡不斷對(duì)自己說。

2011年，譚中怡迎來了第一個(gè)收獲季。女子世團(tuán)賽的冠軍，讓一直專注于國內(nèi)賽場(chǎng)的她，感受到世界一流高手間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，也意識(shí)到自己的上升空間?！拔艺胰~老下超快棋將近有100盤，讓我對(duì)快棋有了更多的感覺和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。”對(duì)譚中怡的勤奮，葉江川很是欣慰，“小譚快棋很有辦法，攻擊性很強(qiáng)，經(jīng)常有一些巧妙的戰(zhàn)術(shù)手段，這和平時(shí)的磨練分不開?！?/p>

千里之行，始于足下。譚中怡日積月累的努力，最終換來世錦賽的一飛沖天。從德黑蘭歸來，鮮花、榮譽(yù)與嘉獎(jiǎng)接踵而至，山東景芝酒業(yè)專門為她辦了奪冠慶功會(huì)，贈(zèng)送了昂貴的藍(lán)寶石。但這些沒有擾亂小譚的心神，“‘棋后’的稱號(hào)對(duì)我不會(huì)有特別大的改變，這并不代表我就比其他棋手強(qiáng)，我還有很多地方需要向別人學(xué)習(xí)?！?/p>

棋盤前文靜大氣，聊天時(shí)是段子手

在不熟悉的人眼中，棋盤前凝神靜思的譚中怡是文靜、大氣、持重的。但在國象圈子里，她卻是有名的開心果、段子手。相熟的棋手或記者遇到她，總喜歡逗她兩句，親切地叫一聲“小譚”。

既有重慶女孩的潑辣，又不失溫暖與嫻靜，譚中怡看似矛盾的性格中有一種特別的魔力，讓人忍不住親近。賽場(chǎng)上，無論何時(shí)鏡頭對(duì)準(zhǔn)小譚，從未見她有任何的躲閃。聊天時(shí)，她的直言快語夾雜著“自黑”，常常令人忍俊不禁。“看不出來胖嗎？那是因?yàn)槟翘煲路舻煤?，以后找?duì)象得挑個(gè)眼力不好的，夏天盡量不見面?！毙∽T打趣起自己一點(diǎn)也不心軟。

如此的灑脫、率真，不僅體現(xiàn)在待人接物，也融入對(duì)棋的認(rèn)知?！坝腥讼矚g專注做一件事，有的人想看看不同的風(fēng)景，而我是后者。我對(duì)下棋沒有那么多的抱負(fù)，能保持不錯(cuò)的狀態(tài)，相比自己有進(jìn)步就可以了?！弊T中怡很欽佩堅(jiān)持到30多歲還在一線的趙雪，“現(xiàn)在‘95后’小姑娘上升很快，逆水行舟不進(jìn)則退，我總告訴自己還得加把勁啊?！?/p>

譚中怡很戀家，在重慶時(shí)每天走路去棋院，還不到10分鐘。2013年從上海財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，譚中怡逐漸嘗試做一些教練工作，并在家鄉(xiāng)試水國象推廣?！拔沂侨ラ_荒的，想做接地氣的比賽，在學(xué)校扎下根，給家鄉(xiāng)留下一些國象種子?！狈菉W項(xiàng)目并不主流，僅靠個(gè)人推廣難度不小，但譚中怡卻很堅(jiān)定，“其實(shí)國象發(fā)展的空間很大，只要有人肯去做，總有一天學(xué)國象的青少年也能特別多?！?/p>

在譚中怡的心中，加冕棋后并非唯一的夢(mèng)想?！芭悠迨值膸p峰時(shí)期一般在30歲上下，未來我會(huì)更投入，爭(zhēng)取在棋上走得更遠(yuǎn)，最好能保持到35歲。”說到這個(gè)“小目標(biāo)”，譚中怡又恢復(fù)了“女漢子”神采，眼神清亮而富有力量。

Tan Zhongyi: A Spicy Girl with a Strong Heart

A brief profile

Tan Zhongyi,born in 1991,is a native of Chongqing.She began to learn international chess at the age of 5 a nd a half,making fast progress.From 2000 to 2002,she had won the World Junior Championship for three times and the Li Chengzhi Cup for f ve times,representing the highest level in the her age group.She became a professional player when she was 11 years old; when she was 15,she defeated Xie Jun,the chess queen in the All-China Games; when she was 20,she frst won the championship at the World Team Cup and both the individual and group championship at the Universiade.The 25-year-old Tan Zhongyi had helped the Chinese Women Team to regain the Olympic Championship with her unbeaten record.Tan Zhongyi won a championship in the 2017 World Women’s Championship,becoming the 16th chess queen in the history of chess and promoted as the women’s grand master.

Hold up a long-barrelled gun,and aim at the front,as if she was going to pull the trigger.This photo,with some sort of“iron lady”spirit,is used as the pro f le photo on W eChat by 26-year-old Tan Zhongyi.On the early morning of March 4,Tan’s moment,which has been quiet for nearly 3 months,was updated with few words and several photos,recording the ups and downs of the W orld Championship in Tehran.

“Tan Zhongyi has won,she has won the championship!”O(jiān)n that night of the added competition of the f nal of 2017 World Women’s Chess Championship,Yu Shaoteng,the Chinese team coach,told the good news excitedly to everyone through his voice message in the WeChat group.Perhaps before the competition,few people would expect this result,but Tan Zhongyi with a strong heart played such a beautiful“one shot”and won the 1 1th title of chess queen for the Chinese Chess Team.

“I did not expect that I was able to stick to the end.Now all wishes have been realized.”Tan Zhongyi’s heart was not rested until her arrival at the capital airport.Looking at the trophy in her arms,this Chongqing spicy girl did not change the nature of naughty,“If there is a regret,it would be that I don’t lose weight during such a tough game.”

Compete with 6 opponents in the World Championship,4 promotions after the added competition

Before Tan Zhongyi went to the World Championship,ranking fourteenth in the rank of the world,she was not the most promising to win the championship in the seven girls sent out by the Chinese team.“My best record is top 32.And this time I hoped that I would try my best and not go home so early.”Tan Zhongyi never hides her desire for victory,but she is not willing to con f ne herself with the target,“Just leave everything behind and try your best.”

Although with an usual mind,the path to the chess queen is much more difficult than expected.In the second round of the World Championship,Tan met Ushenina,the former chess queen of Ukraine.They tied in the two slow chess and had to compete with each other in an added competition of speed chess.After the continuous 7 rounds of competition,Tan Zhongyi didn’t win until the most brutal sudden death speed chess.The thrill scene even made Yu Shaoteng,who had a great experience,call it“too exciting”.

However,it was not expected that“added competition”became a label in her way forward.She competed with 6 opponents in the World Championship and was promoted from 4 added competition.Every time when Tan was pushed to the edge of a clif f,she could always convert the situation.Her strong psychological quality and strain capacity amazed other people.The semi-f nal was the most classic competition.Facing Harikkala,the Indian famous player,Tan Zhongyi lost but then won in the frst 25-minute speed chess; won and then lost in the 10-minute speed chess; in the 5-minute super-speed chess,she converted the situation stubbornly after being on the verge of collapse.With the calm and easiness energy f eld,as she completely overwhelmed the opponent’s psychological line of defense,her opponent was judged negative in the sudden death speed chess for a timeout.

When Tan Zhongyi staged a“play of added competition”again in the f nal,she defeated Muzychuk Anna,the world-famous Ukraine player for her skills in super speed chess.The whole world chess circle was impressed by this Chinese girl.“T an Zhongyi’s road to the championship could be called as the most thrilling one in these knockout games.Her calmness in the key competitions even amazed me.If she were me on this f eld,I am afraid that I could not do so well as she did.”Xie Jun,who had won the chess queen for four times,said.

It is not the first time for Tan Zhongyi to have such a calm and composed performance.In the 2016 42nd International Chess Olympic team event,she won the fourth gold medal with the unbeaten record,7 wins and 4 draws,helping the Chinese women team regain the title after 12 years.As Ye Jiangchuan,the headcoach of Chinese Chess Team,said,Tan Zhongyi had a special tenacity and spirit.“Many players might lose their passion and motivation at a certain period of time.However,Tan once talked to me that she wants to concentrate on playing chess for a long time,which is very worth learning for many young players.”

The long-term efforts are paid back with the World Champion

There are 4 chess queens before Tan Zhongyi in the Chinese chess team,especially the“genius girl”Hou Yifan,who had reached the peak for four times in her early twenties and reached to a level dif f cult for any other peer female players to go beyond.However,Tan Zhongyi never regards this“mountain”as a burden.Instead she always reserves her energy in accordance with her own rhythm.“Chess players need more accumulation,and I know clearly what I want.”

Such a calm and sober mind originates from her upbringing.When she started to learned the chess,her father,a sports fan,was meant to send her to the class of the game of go.As the class of the game of go was full,he had no choice but to send her to the class of chess.Unexpectedly,Tan was a heaven-born chess player and won the championship in the world age group of teenagers for three times when she was only 10,creating a record of the chess circle.At the 2016 All-China Games,after dozens of rounds,the 15-year-old Tan Zhongyi,the unexpected winner,defeated the chess queen Xie Jun in the overtime and became famous after this competition.

Perhaps the juvenile time was too smooth.When Tan Zhongyi entered into puberty,she once encountered with the growing pains,wondering outside of the main lineup in the national team.Once she asked Ni Hua,national men’s team captain,for the advice on the women’s weakness in the endgame.The secret of predecessors was one word: diligence.Therefore,Tan Zhongyi increased the amount of training and competition about 200 games not including the speed chess,to upgrade her chess skills.“As I know the story of ‘Pity Zhong Yong’,I would never let that thing happen on myself.”Tan Zhongyi kept telling to herself.

Tan Zhongyi had her first harvest season in 201 1.The women’s world championship had made her feel the competition among the world’s top players and aware of the climbing space for herself,since she had focused on the domestic competitions.She said,“I have already played super speed chess with Coach Ye for nearly 100 times,which has given me more experience and sense of the speed chess.”Ye Jiangchuan was very gratif ed on the diligence of Tan,“Tan is methodical and very aggressive on the speed chess.She could always come up with some clever tactics,which is inseparable with her usual practice.”

Thousand-li journey begins with the frst step.Tan Zhongyi’s longterm efforts are now paid back with the World Championship.Return from Tehran,f owers,honors and awards were fooding in.A special victory meeting was held for her by Shandong Jingzhi Liquor,giving her the expensive sapphire as a gift.But Tan’s mind was not disturbed by those things.“The tile of ‘chess queen’ does not mean a lot of changes to me and does not represent that I am stronger than any other players.I still have a lot to learn from others.”

She is not only a quiet and lofty girl before the chessboard,but also a girl with sense of humor when chatting with others.

In the eyes of people who are not familiar with her,Tan Zhongyi with concentrated attention before the chessboard would leave them an image with a quiet,lofty and steady girl.But in the chess circle,she is the joy of the people and a girl with sense of humor .When some familiar players or reporters meet her,they always like to tease her and warmly call her“Tan”.

With the daring and vigorous personality uniquely possessed by Chongqing girl,and yet warm and quiet,this seeming contradictory character of Tan has a special magic,making people want to be close to her.Whenever the camera is aimed at Tan on the court,she would never dodge.When chatting with her,she is outspoken and sometimes even teases herself,which is so funny that you cannot help laughing.“Can’t you see that I’m fat? That’s because I picked up the right clothes that day.I have to f nd a boyfriend with a bad eyesight and try not to see each other in summer.”When teasing herself,she is never softhearted.

Her free and straightforward personality is not re f ected in the way of getting along with people,but also integrated into the cognitive of chess.“Some people like to focus on one thing while some people want to see a dif ferent landscape,and I am the latter.I do not have so much ambition on playing chess.It would be OK if I could maintain a good state and make progress comparing with myself.”Tan Zhongyi admires Zhao Xue who is in her 30s and still adheres to her position in the chess playing.She said,“The capacities of little girls,born after 1995,now rise up very quickly.As the proverb says that no progress leads to the backwardness,I always tell myself to work harder.”

Tan Zhongyi is obsessed with her family.And everyday it took her less than 10 minutes to walk from home to the institution in Chongqing.After graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 2013,she gradually tried to do some work as a coach and do the promotion of chess in her hometown.“I am the pioneer and want to make some simple games.Rooting in the school,I want to leave some seed of the chess for my hometown.”Since non-Olympic games are not the mainstream,it is diff cult to promote on oneself only.Nevertheless,Tan is very f rm about this.“In fact,there is a big development space for chess.As long as someone is willing to do it,there will also be a lot of teenagers who choose to play chess some day in the future.”

In the heart of Tan Zhongyi,being awarded the title of chess queen is not the only dream.“The peak period of a female player is generally around 30 years old.I will make more ef forts in the future to go further on the road of chess.It would be the best for me to keep to the age of 35.”When it comes to this“small goal”,the spirit of“iron lady”recovers in her eyes,clear and steadfast eyes.
