An old-master game




Grandmaster Li Yiting was born in 1937 in Wuhan, Hubei Province. He won the National Championship in 1958, at the tender age of 21, and became the second person ever to hold the lofty title since national competition was instituted, after the legendary Grandmaster Yang Guanlin.

Later, due to the Cultural Revolution and other circumstances, he turned his back on competition and vowed not to touch any chess pieces anymore, instead, he choose to concentrate on teaching the young. For some, he is a tragic figure, for others he is a model man of ideal.

The following game was played a few years ago by the old-master against Li Jinghua of Hong Kong in an rare public exhibition.
