When will Li Changgao retire?
1March 26, 998

It was not until March 26th, 1998, that Li Changgao officially retired. Since Li Changgao, Korean players have been exempted from military service, and players who win the first and second place in world competitions can enjoy this policy. However, at that time, there were only three world competitions: Fujitsu Cup, Shi Ying Cup and Toyo Securities Cup, so the preferential policies for Korean players to avoid military service were limited to these three competitions. 1999 Toyo Securities Cup closed, and the only hope for Korean players to be exempted from military service is Fujitsu Cup and Shi Ying Cup. Ying's Cup is held every four years with a long cycle. Therefore, Korean chess players pin their hopes of exemption from military service on the Fujitsu Cup. From 1994 to now, from 14, these young athletes, Cui Zhehan Jiu Duan, Young Joon Park Jiu Duan, Song Taikang Jiu Duan and Park Zhengxiang Jiu Duan, as the champions and runners-up of Shi Ying Cup and Fujitsu Cup, were exempted from military service. Among the post-80s players in South Korea, Zhao Hancheng is the most eager to reach the Fujitsu Cup final. 26 years old, has reached the upper limit of military service. If he can't reach the final of Fujitsu Cup this time, he will hide in the military camp and disappear from chess for two years.
