In the first ten rounds, there is no doubt that Sichuan Longxiang Communication Team is the biggest winner. They have met Yitai Team in Inner Mongolia, Country Garden Team in Guangdong, Chuhe Tianlun Team in Henan, Jingji United Team in Beijing Weikai Jinhuan and Shanghai Golden Bund Team, and their answers are perfect. After being rented in Zheng Weitong and Wu Junqiang returned to Henan, the Sichuan team brought effective signings and recruited first-class players such as Wang Yang and Chen Meng, and their strength was not affected at all. Together with the rock-solid Li Shaogeng and the increasingly mature Zhao, the Sichuan team has become a super strong team with a balanced offensive and defensive. After a year's running-in, under the leadership of gold medal coach Li, the Sichuan team has the ability to show off its muscles and wrestle with any team. It is worth mentioning that among the five teams that have played against each other, there are the first runner-up in last year's league (Guangdong and Shanghai) and the fifth and sixth (Inner Mongolia and Beijing-Hebei). Even the Henan team, which did not enter the playoffs, led several times last year. It can be said that there are no soft persimmons. When the Sichuan team is in the lead, it can go through thick and thin to protect the fruits of victory; When you are backward, you can still struggle to pull back or even overtake, and your psychological quality is particularly excellent.
At present, among the top teams in the standings, only Hangzhou Environment Group Team and Fulinmen Heilongjiang Team have never played against each other. There is no doubt about the strength of the Hangzhou team, and the collision between the two teams of Anyi is also a preview of the playoffs, which is expected. Although the score of Fulinmen team is good at present, the stability needs further study. Perhaps after the Anyi war, they can judge how many points this dark horse has from the three strong teams in Henan, Guangdong and Zhejiang. Among the remaining opponents of the Sichuan team, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong are all good in strength, but I am afraid they are unable to cause too much trouble to the Sichuan army. It is expected that the Sichuan team will achieve a balanced record in these three major battles. Other teams are struggling in the relegation zone, and there is a big gap in strength. Under normal circumstances, it is not a problem for the Sichuan team to win. To sum up, the score of Sichuan team in this year's regular season is likely to exceed that of last year, and winning the top two to ensure the top four should be an expected goal. However, the Sichuan team should also bear in mind that "elephants have no weak teams." The scene of losing to the Jiangxi team in Anyi last year is still vivid, far from the point of rest easy.
Hangzhou Environment Group Team is undoubtedly the favourite to compete for the first place in the regular season. Because the team has super scorer Wang Tianyi, plus Shen Peng and Zhao Jincheng, it is enough to win the championship. Liu Ming, who was introduced this year, won the fifth place in the National Intellectual Games, and his strength is of course no small matter. But team competition doesn't need everyone to be a scorer, especially a team with phenomenal strikers like Hangzhou, which pays more attention to a solid defense line. How to resist the impact of top players from other strong teams deserves the attention of Hangzhou team. On the Anyi battlefield, heroes from all over the world will gather in Sri Lanka, and the Hangzhou team will meet three strong teams in Guangdong, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia in turn, which is the biggest test for them. Perhaps, after these three games, we can see the general trend of winning the championship in the regular season this year.
As the defending champion, the burden on the shoulders of Guangdong Country Garden Team is not easy at all. Although it ranks third at present, it is very close. Henan, Fulinmen and Inner Mongolia are all short of 1 point, and Beijing-Hebei United are only short of 2 points to win a game. In Anyi Championship, Guangdong team will play Hangzhou team. Although the Guangdong team had a slight advantage in the past, times have changed and the results are extremely unpredictable. It is expected that the two teams will meet, and how the head coaches of both sides arrange their troops in a targeted manner will have a great influence on the result. Next, they will have to face the challenges of the Fulinmen team and the Shanghai team one after another, which is absolutely sloppy. Compared with previous years, Liu Junda's progress is quite obvious, but in the past, Liu's performance often affected the team's results. Liu Junda and Miao Liming are both attacking chess players. Once they find the feeling, it is quite a headache for any opponent. As for the Shanghai team, an old-fashioned powerhouse, even though the current performance is not good, this team has a deep foundation. The stronger it is, the stronger it is, and no one dares to despise it. The first ten rounds of four losses and six losses introduced by the team this year have not yet started, and at least two rounds have failed to grasp the opportunity to make contributions to the team. I'm afraid the reason is that the master is new here and eager to make achievements, which leads to technical deformation. Didn't see last year's league, Jiangxi team rushed to the front and made repeated gains. Did it make a net profit of 6 sets in the season? If you can sum up in time and adjust your mentality, I believe that the genius master will definitely make a difference. The Anyi battle is very important for Guangdong team.
If the Hangzhou Environmental Group team is facing the devil's race next, then the trip to Anyi will not be smooth sailing for the Han Jie Tianlun team in Chuhe, Henan. First of all, they will have a bloody battle with the Heilongjiang team in Fulinmen. This battle is related to who can gain a foothold in the top six, and I believe it must be a tragic exception. Then, there are Shanghai and Beijing-Hebei around, which is really a severe test for the young Henan team. If you play well, you can firmly occupy the forefront and even covet the position of the top three; If there is a mistake, it is likely to be squeezed out of the top six.
Fulinmen's journey of Anyi is doomed to be not smooth sailing, which has been analyzed before, so I won't repeat it here.
Inner Mongolia Yitai team made great achievements in 20 16 and 20 17 seasons, but it was twice defeated by Guangdong team in the final. Hong Zhi, the head coach, is in his prime, and his chess skills are superb. His powerful attack and extraordinary creativity often give people a refreshing feeling, and he is one of the top players who are popular with chess fans. In terms of achievements, Hong Zhi has won the national individual championship, the Asian Games championship, the league championship (twice), the intellectual games championship (twice), the Country Garden Cup championship and the national team championship. Since he became the head coach of Inner Mongolia team, Wei Qiang, Su, have also been promoted to masters. What I can't forget in my heart is that in order to repay him, I led the Inner Mongolia team to win the league championship. In the past two years, this goal has been infinitely close, and the ending is only one millimeter. In the past two years, Wei Qiang's invulnerability has fluctuated, and Zhao Guorong, the once all-powerful Siberian tiger, has gradually become tired. With the strong rise of Hangzhou, Sichuan, Henan and other teams, the championship dream of Inner Mongolia team is becoming more and more difficult to realize. However, Hong Zhi and his team keep making progress and never slacken off, and remain an awesome teacher of tigers and wolves. Judging from the schedule, it is particularly crucial that they will once again compete with their old rival Beijing-Hebei United in the first round of Anyi battle. Last year, the second stage of the competition system also encountered Beijing and Hebei. As a result, Wei Qiang lost to Zhao Dianyu, which led to the disastrous defeat of Inner Mongolia team 1-7, and it is still fresh in my memory. How about defeating the negative again this year? It deserves attention.
After this year's dream start, Beijing-Hebei United suffered heavy losses in Guangdong and Sichuan. Fortunately, it quickly made up for the Shenzhen team and currently ranks seventh with a difference of 1 point. In the battle of Anyi, they have to play against Inner Mongolia team first, and then face the Hangzhou Chess Association team at the bottom, so they can take the opportunity to get a vote. The last two games with Henan team are directly related to whether they can rank among the top six. Last year, the Beijing-Hebei team beat Inner Mongolia and Henan by a big score. What will happen this year?
In the scuffle between strong teams, it is likely that the bank team of Mintai, Zhejiang Province will benefit the fishermen. Although the Zhejiang team has only got 9 points now, they will encounter Hangzhou Chess Association and Zhejiang Fengyuan one after another in Anyi, and finally have a battle with Fulinmen team. Although we can't just talk about paper strength, under normal circumstances, the Zhejiang team will still take the opportunity to make a fortune, and it is also a high probability event that the ranking will rise to the top six quickly.
In a word, the competition system of the second stage of Elephant A will be a changeable competitive pattern, which will have a far-reaching impact on the trend of the second half of Target A.
