After Hu Ronghua won the national championship for the first time at the age of 1960 and 15, he dominated the chess world for 20 years in a row and created the myth of China chess. Moreover, Hu Ronghua's contribution to chess theory is enormous, and his attainments in chess have reached perfection.
Hu Ronghua is a grandmaster of chess in China, just like Wu Qingyuan, a master of Go. His talent may take hundreds of years to show. At present, Li Changgao, the first person in Weiqi, can't be called a grandmaster, even though he retired from chess several decades later. Because, to become a master, first of all, he must have outstanding talent, second, his record is unparalleled in an era, third, he has made great contributions to theory in his active field, and his accomplishments are unmatched by his contemporaries. Fourth, he must have good character.
