The page separates events, original game records, outside videos, and editorial observations. The 2025 sanction is kept separate so historical results are not mixed with current status or unsupported extensions.

Images come from public reporting or public pages and are used as page context; dates, specific events, and rights status were not independently verified item by item.

Career in context

From junior events to national champion

Zheng's career can be read through three verifiable steps: junior titles, the National Master title, and consecutive national individual championships in 2014 and 2015. A nickname or ranking alone is not treated as a complete career conclusion.

Baidu Baike public record ↗

The world title as an international marker

The men's title at the 2015 World Xiangqi Championship in Munich is one of the clearest international milestones in this archive.

Baidu Baike public record ↗

Tsinghua and competition records together

Public reporting around 2020–2021 discusses both Tsinghua study and league results. The page presents education as public career context and does not infer private motives.

The Paper public report ↗

Use five games to test style labels

The sample spans different years, events, and time controls. It asks readers to inspect openings, time pressure, and conversion rather than treating editorial labels as official scores.

Dongping public game record ↗

A traceable Asian Games result

The 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games men's individual gold is both a public result and part of Hangzhou reporting about China's 200th gold at the Games.

Current-status note

Current status: separate historical results from sanctions

Public reporting supports Zheng's historical results; Xinhua's 2025 report on sanctions is shown as a separate current-status milestone. The page does not infer a current identity from a historical title or expand media summaries into unverified legal conclusions.

Sample note

Style and openings: questions from the sample

Opening preparationEditorial observation (not a score)

The five-game sample covers Central Cannon, Immortal Guide, and Fei-Xiang systems; this is a sample observation, not a career frequency table.

Middlegame calculationEditorial observation (not a score)

Different events and time controls give useful positions for studying central advances, coordination, and conversion.

Endgame handlingEditorial observation (not a score)

The 245-, 141-, and 109-half-move records provide material for studying patient play after simplification.

Rapid-play adaptationEditorial observation (not a score)

Two records are explicitly marked rapid, allowing a comparison of decision-making under short time controls.

Attack-to-defense transitionsEditorial observation (not a score)

These editorial labels come from replay questions in five games, not engine scores or official ratings.

These values are Sachess reading labels based on five public game records, not official ratings, engine win rates, or complete career statistics.

Central Cannon vs Reverse Palace Horse

2019 Biyuguan sample

Use the 141-half-move Zheng–Wang record to study central control and exchanges in rapid play.

Immortal Guide and Fei-Xiang

2023 Asian Games sample

Use the 245-half-move public record to study piece coordination after a flexible first move.

Opposing pawns with right horses

2021 Shanghai Cup sample

The 109-half-move record shows how both sides compete for initiative in an opposing-pawn structure.

Fei-Xiang with right horse

2018 national sample

The short record contrasts with the long games and shows how an opening choice enters the middlegame.

Key moments

Key moments: traceable milestones only

His first national individual men's title made him Sichuan's first national men's champion.

2015 world title

He won the men's title at the 14th World Xiangqi Championship in Munich.

2021 league record

The public 22-game streak and regular-season MVP award are shown as career-sample milestones.

2023 Asian Games gold

The men's individual gold was reported as China's 200th at the Hangzhou Games.

2025 sanction notice

The lifetime ban and technical-title revocation are presented as a separate current-status milestone.

Study path

What can five games teach?

01

Verify the record before naming a style

Check event, opponent, result, and complete moves before making an opening or middlegame claim.

02

Read long and short games together

Contrast the 245-half-move game with the 57-half-move game instead of generalizing from one record.

03

Keep the time control in view

Rapid play changes the decision environment; treat the time control as part of the game context.

04

Use outside video as an entry point

Videos add viewing and commentary paths; key facts still return to event reports and source records.

The public career record lists two, in 2014 and 2015.

When did Zheng become world champion?

He won the men's title at the 14th World Xiangqi Championship in Munich in 2015.
