The peak period of the eight-crowned ke jie has passed, which seems to be a matter of certainty, but there are still many people in the chess industry who ignore it, including Ke Jie himself. Yesterday, after his defeat in the semi-finals of the 26th LG Cup, he was still tough in an interview: the situation judgment at the beginning of this game was too optimistic, ignoring the opponent's good move in the middle, reading the seconds a little flustered, and it was a pity to lose. After that, he said bluntly on a network: he will not bow to failure and will never compromise!
To be honest, Ke Jie's big words are too much, and the author already has "antibodies" to them. He once promised to let Japan's first person, Yuta Iyama, "splash five steps of blood", and it was Yuta Iyama who poured out the road to win the LG Cup. It was the semi-final of the 22nd LG Cup in 2017, and Yuta Iyama tried to keep Ke Zhao out of the final. If Ke Jie can cross this threshold, facing the final object Serhoe, it should be a high probability of winning the cup. It seems that Ke Jie has not yet been able to reach the top of the LG Cup, and Yuta Iyama "has made a contribution".
Ke Jie also made a "mockery" to Lee Sedol, the king of Korea: if it is 100%, his winning rate is 50%. As a result, the second Dream Lily Cup Wufanqi final in 2016, facing Lee Sedol, who had already entered a period of decline, Ke Jie missed a trick at the last moment of the fifth set, almost overturned by the opponent, and won 3:2 in a thrilling way.
Ke Jie spoke
After defeating Park Tinghuan in the quarterfinals of the 26th LG Cup, Ke Jie vowed: I don't think I am worse than anyone, although you say that Shin Jin-chan is very powerful, but I have never thought so. Of course, 'I never think so' this point, can only use chess to prove themselves, just use the mouth to say who is not not strong, that is useless, must prove themselves on chess. As a result, Ke Jie was punched in the face two days later, and the moment when the LG Cup semi-final ended, the chessboard proved that at this moment, he really did not have Shen Zhenchen.
Looking at the results of the past year, there are at least two major signs that Ke Jie has fallen from the altar. One is the world series final fan chess undefeated in Japan and South Korea chess players record broken, the 25th LG Cup in February this year, before the game was unanimously optimistic Ke Jie, by South Korea's Shin Min tsung 2:1 reversal, painfully lost the laurel at the same time, announced the nine crown of the dream shattered.
Another piece of evidence is that from 2015 to 2020, Ke Jie, who has been a world champion for six consecutive years, has received no harvest this year, which has led to his record in this year's world championship being inferior to that of Shin Jin-chan, Park Ting-huan, Mi Yu-ting, Shin Min-woo and other four world championship winners, and the throne of the first person in the world competition in the world today has to be surrendered.
Ke Jie in the LG Cup
The latest basis for Ke Jie's peak period is that it has failed to reach the top of the World Series for six consecutive years after winning the Samsung Cup last year. The six competitions are the 25th LG Cup, the 4th Dream Lily Cup, the 13th Chunlan Cup, the 26th Samsung Cup, and the 9th Ying Cup and the 26th LG Cup, which will be finalized early next year.
Let's take a look at the top five masters in the World Championships of Go, and the number of years between the world championships at the peak, I will make a list of comparisons:

The above table clearly shows that the five masters in the heyday, between the two World Series championships, the maximum interval will not exceed 8 sessions, and Ke Jie, who is still on the front line, has as many as 6 times, and this data may also increase, so Ke Jie has undoubtedly entered the downhill road and entered the frustrated stage of his Go career. What needs to be explained here is that in addition to Gu Li, the data of the other four masters are from the period between the first and last crowns. Coulee has been crown-free since 2011 until his final title in 2015, so his peak was almost at the end of 2010.
If Ke Jie wants to return to the top, she must make great efforts, not away from focus and diligence. Lee Chang-ho, the first person in the World Go Tournament, has not won the world championship since the first defeat to opponents outside South Korea in the 11th Samsung Cup final in 2006, will Ke Jie be the next Lee Chang-ho?
