Since October in the second half of the year, the hottest player in China's Go industry is none other than Ding Hao. He has won the Champion Chess Cup, the Cyber Championship and the two new title battles this year, the National Hand Battle and the Big Chess Championship, and won the first title, becoming the first person to eat crabs.
And the quality of Ding Hao's chess pieces along the way is also quite high. Leaving aside the championship tournament, the opponents he defeated in the finals of the other three tournaments were the top three domestic grade points at that time - the national hand battle defeated the first grade point Ke Jie, the advocate chess cup defeated the third grade point Yang Dingxin, and the big chess master tournament defeated the second grade point Gu Zihao, to which Ding Hao said in an interview: "And they are not sure of playing ten pieces of chess, holding on to the death of five or five kai, now mainly the overall progress, their way of thinking has improved, know when to be stable, when to be tight, the rhythm is adjusted well. Ding Hao's words are indeed true, before a professional chess player once said that he used to often spoon behind him, now it is much more stable.
In his first semester of university, Ding Hao did not seem to be affected, but soared at the end of the year, and the four championships made him earn 1.95 million yuan (60 in the Championship, 45 in the Advocate Chess Cup, 40 in the National Hand Battle, and 50 in the Big Chess Tournament).
When the reporter asked "how is the mood of getting the triple crown", Ding Hao said: "Thanks to the sponsors of these competitions, I thought there was no competition at the end of the year, which is a charcoal in the snow." Four months ago, if I knew that I could win so many world championships, I would jump up excitedly, and now that I have it, I feel that it is actually fine, analyze the content of my chess, and feel that I have that level. ”
Previously, due to the epidemic and the difficulty of domestic pre-selection, Ding Hao's best result in the World Series was only the top 16, and Shen Zhenchen said in an interview very early that "Ding Hao definitely has the strength of a world champion.". In this regard, Ding Hao said: "If there is no world competition held by China next year, there are only two seeded players in China in South Korea, it is difficult to compete with Ke Jie and Mi Yuting, and next year I will have to rely on pre-selection results." ”
"I feel that there are so few world competitions every year now, it is difficult to rely on pre-selection, such as Peng Liyao, who ranks twenty or so, and I have a bad record for him." There are too many strong players in China, and it is difficult to qualify. Whether you can win the world championship, go with the flow, and hope that the water will come to fruition depends on when you break out. ”
