In Pengcheng in 2024, the Chinese national chess team gathered for the expedition. The legendary chess legend Dongfang Tongyuan led the masters, using chess as the blade and the heart as the chess, composing a long and passionate chapter of chess.
Dongfang Tongyuan, an undefeated legend who has been in his thirties, is cynical in daily life, has an immortal style when playing chess, possesses the Taoist natural chess style and the talent of dozens of languages, and also hides the obsession to protect traditional culture. Side by side with him are teammates with different personalities such as the sunny foodie Fa Xiaogong Liang Yu, the data maniac Sima Xuan, the elegant and transparent Xuanyuan Ming, as well as the sassy and gentle female chess players. Under the leadership of coach Tantai Jing and the escort of the hard-core brother Zhu, the whole team has formed the most unbreakable bond.
Domestic military training, competing in the Asian Games, and reaching the top of the World Championships, they made friends with chess, faced off against domestic rivals such as Chu Zhaolie, and competed against international players such as foreign chess teams. On the way to trace the seven-star ancient genealogy, they uncovered the legend of the ancestors who protected the genealogy during the Song Dynasty, and also faced the genealogy gang that Zhu Ge offended in the past, and guarded the chess and upheld justice.
The most touching thing is the deep love between chess players. Dongfang Tongyuan meets the hard-core Korean journalist Park Ha-eun. They know each other well and stay together across borders. Xuanyuan Ming and Ouyang Fei accompany each other warmly, and Shangguan Lin finds a confidant in Chinese medicine. Everyone respects chess and cherishes their friendship.
There are no conspiracies and calculations, only pure chess, passionate teammate friendship, heart-warming family affection and true love. From training camps in Pengcheng to world competitions, from daily fireworks to cultural inheritance, this group of chess players use their moves to describe the naturalness of their chess skills and their deep love over the years without any regrets.
