The success rate of the world series final, in addition to the many champions, in addition to Takemiya Masaki and Mi Yuting is 100%, both times toad palace tortify the laurel, on the number of Cao Kao-hyun is particularly conspicuous, he 11 times into the world championship final battle, there are 9 times crowned, the success rate is as high as 82%, Ke Jie is currently 10 times the final 8 times to win the cup. In contrast, Chang Hao, who only had 3 rounds in 11 finals; Ma Xiaochun entered the finals 8 times, and only 2 times he became famous.
What is even more tragic is that The chess saint Nie Weiping and the demon king Qiu Jun, both of whom have reached the final 3 times, have returned home, and Zhou Heyang also has the same cup 2 times. In addition, although Hu Yaoyu, Sheikh, Wang Lei, etc. only entered the final championship battle once, it was also a pity to lose. If you want to evaluate the most lamentable times when the national player lost the Gold Cup in the final of the World Series, then Nie Weiping's first Ying Cup in 1989, Zhou Heyang's 19th Fujitsu Cup in 2006, and Hu Yaoyu's 11th LG Cup in 2007 will undoubtedly rank in the top three.
Mr. and Mrs. Hu Yaoyu
Hu Yaoyu lost to the 11th LG Cup final in 2007 to Zhou Junxun, the first master of Taiwan who is also a Chinese, I think Hu Yaoyu is indeed depressed personally, but the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are meat, for China, Taiwanese chess players can rise, is not it also my greater China blessing! In view of this, I will give you a detailed account of the other two unforgettable defeats today.
Before the first Ying's Cup, the call for the hero Nie Weiping to win the championship was very high, and Mr. Ying Changqi even said bluntly that the competition was held for Nie Weiping. Unfortunately, the times were not good, the sky did not help people, and Nie Lao finally failed to laugh at the rivers and lakes. Let's look at the progress of the game, the first round of Nie Weiping beat McReymont, who represented Europe and the United States, Cao Xuanxuan was slightly more difficult, defeating Wang Mingxun, who represented Taipei; in the second round, Nie Weiping encountered Zhao Zhixun, who had never been won before (Zhao Zhixun easily defeated Cao Xuanxuan in a friendly match a few years ago), the ring hero Nie Weiping shook his spirit and lived up to expectations, and cut him under the horse, and Cao Xuanxuan also won the bitter hand Kobayashi Guangyi, and the two winners of this round of eight finals were also sympathetic In the semi-finals, Nie Weiping defeated Hideyuki Fujisawa with the slightest advantage in both sets, while Cao Xuanxuan simply and neatly made Lin Haifeng bow down twice, and Cao Xuanxuan was slightly higher in terms of difficulty.
The first Ying Cup Nie Weiping dueled against Cao Xuanxuan
The blood-curdling Wufan chess final was staged, the first three games were played in Mr. Ying Changqi's hometown of Ningbo, Zhejiang, the first set cao Xuanxuan unexpectedly took the lead, and then Nie Weiping, who was steady, won two consecutive sets to take a 2:1 lead. Just when everyone thought that the champion was none other than Nie Weiping, even Nie Weiping himself was fluttering, five months later in the last two sets of the war in Singapore, Nie Weiping lost again and again, and finally handed over the golden trophy to people.
In hindsight, if according to Mr. Ying Changqi's original wishes, all five games were held in Ningbo and were completed continuously, then Nie Weiping, who was full of enthusiasm, would most likely win back the first Ying's Cup, but the ambition of Mr. Ying Changqi and all Chinese chess fans. However, the Koreans' stirring up kung fu or extra-game moves have also been put on the table since then, and it is inappropriate for the Korean Chess Academy to propose that all the five chess pieces be arranged in China before the game, and even at the threat of a strike, At the crucial moment, Mr. Ying Changqi made concessions to Qu Ququan, thus changing the course of the history of world Go.

Another factor that led to failure was to blame Nie Weiping himself. Before the Battle of Singapore, he insisted on going to Hong Kong to participate in a bridge game (Bo Ertu was in this situation, and I was also satisfied), and then flew to Singapore alone. When stopping in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, Nie Jun, who was not familiar with the land and did not understand foreign languages plus extremely poor self-care ability, got off the plane thinking that he had arrived at the station, and when he found that something was wrong, he hurriedly strode back to the cabin, and after a toss, he sweated a lot, causing Nie Weiping, who was cold, to catch a cold and fever after arriving at the destination, which greatly affected the competitive state. In the fourth set, Nie Weiping made a humble mistake when the situation was ahead, but Cao Yanzi, who was fast-eyed, caught it at once, and reversed the outcome of the game, and in the fifth game, Nie Weiping, who was mentally unbalanced, changed to the cosmic stream that Wugong Masaki was good at against Cao Xuanxuan, and ended up with a crisp defeat.
Let's look at Nie Weiping's apprentice Zhou Heyang's heart-wrenching defeat. In the 19th Fujitsu Cup in 2006, the first round of the game Zhou Heyang defeated South Korea's Kogendai, Park Zhengxiang defeated Jiang Mingjiu, Zhou Heyang's difficulty was slightly higher; in the second round, Zhou Heyang defeated South Korea's world champion Liu Changhe, known as the world's first attacker, Park Zhengxiang defeated Japan's Naoki Hane, because Liu Changhe has gone downhill, objectively speaking, this round of two people are half a pound and eight two; the quarterfinals Zhou Heyang beat South Korea's world champion Park Yongxun, Park Zhengxiang Lick China's Ying's Cup champion Chang Hao, the two are also equal in this round In the semi-finals, Zhou Heyang won Lee Sedol, one of the top masters in the world chess world at that time, while Park Jeong-hyong Yong Keying Cup runner-up Choi Chul-han, Although Cui Poison was brave, there was still a big gap compared to Xiao Li, and this round of Zhou Heyang was obviously more difficult.
Zhou Heyang lost to Lee Chang-ho to finish second in the Chunlan Cup
Zhou Heyang, who stood on the stage of the final, was already the owner of a number of domestic competition titles, the most classic of which was the fifth chess holy war qifan chess final, which crushed Chang Hao 4:0. At the World Series, Zhou Heyang reached the final of the Chunlan Cup in 2005, but unfortunately lost to Lee Chang-ho of Shi Fo (it was later learned that Zhou Heyang's move completed the latter's last World Championship Gold Cup). In addition to this time in the final, Park Zhengxiang did not have a record of winning at home and abroad. Before the game, it was generally believed that All the Korean generals who had won all the way before, Zhou Heyang, would win easily, but the result seemed to be a big joke, and Park Zhengxiang laughed to the end. What is even more tragic is that Park Zhengxiang has not achieved anything in domestic and foreign competitions since then.
Combing through the thrilling whole process of the above-mentioned walk to Maicheng, we have to sigh that history is sometimes so confusing.
