The Legend: Liu Dahua
Liu Dahua (柳大华 / Liễu Đại Hoa), born on March 3, 1950, in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, is a towering figure in the world of Xiangqi. Known by many names such as "The Oriental Computer," "Chess King," and "Blind Chess King," Liu's journey from a young enthusiast to a Grandmaster is a tale of dedication, brilliance, and unparalleled memory.
Early Years and Rise to Fame
Born into a family where all three brothers shared a passion for Xiangqi, Liu's talent was nurtured from an early age. By 9, he was defeating family members and village friends. At 11, he began practicing blind chess with his brother, laying the foundation for his future mastery. In 1963, at just 13, Liu claimed the youth Xiangqi championship in Hubei province.
His ascent in the Chinese National Xiangqi Singles Tournament was meteoric. In 1980, Liu shocked the Xiangqi world by defeating the reigning champion Hu Ronghua, known as the "Reborn Phoenix," ending the dominance of southern Chinese players in national competitions.

The Human Computer: Master of Blind Chess
Liu's nickname, "The Oriental Computer," is well-earned, particularly for his prowess in blind chess. His memory and analytical skills are legendary, setting world records that stood for decades:
1988: Broke Hu Ronghua's record by playing 15 simultaneous blind chess games (11 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss)
1995: Surpassed his own record in Beijing, playing 19 simultaneous blind games (16 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses)
2009: Demonstrated his skills in Vietnam, playing 10 simultaneous blind games (7 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss)
Liu attributes his success to a combination of innate talent and intense practice. He emphasizes that becoming a blind chess master requires two key elements: years of dedicated play with passion and a rich imagination.
A Mind Like No Other
In 1996, Liu astounded the Xiangqi world with an incredible display of memory. After witnessing a brilliant horse move in a tournament match between GM Bu Fengbo and GM Hu Ronghua, Liu not only analyzed it in depth but also recalled an identical move from a game played in 1966 - 30 years earlier. He recreated the entire board position from memory, leaving even his fellow Grandmasters in awe.
