On February 26, the 23rd Nongshim Cup World Go Team Tournament ended the final game, and South Korea's Shin Jin-hyun defeated Japan's Yili Liao to help the South Korean team win the Nongshim Cup. Shin played well in the tournament, winning four consecutive games in the final stages, including a victory over Ke Jie, the first Chinese Go player. After losing to Shen Zhenchen continuously, Ke Jie also had a psychological shadow, and at the same time encountered many doubts. Ke Jie, who was under a lot of pressure, was also a little unable to resist, and responded with a voice, and now Ke Jie's state confirmation is a little worrying.
Go has a long history in China, but for decades, the level of Japanese and Korean players has been very high, and it is not an easy task for Chinese players to compete with them. In particular, Korean chess players have repeatedly played well in the world competition, Lee Chang-ho, Lee Se-seok, Cao Xuan-hyun, Park Ting-huan, etc. are all first-class masters, and we also have Nie Weiping, Ma Xiaochun, Chang Hao, Gu Li, Ke Jie and other masters. In recent years, Ke Jie has grown into the first person in Chinese Go and firmly ranked first in the Chinese Go ranking score. He has won 8 world championships and is favored by Nie Weiping for 17 world championships that impact Lee Chang-ho.
However, in the past year or so, Ke Jie's state has declined, and he has also lost some chess pieces that should not have been lost. Especially against South Korea's first man Shin Jin-chan, Ke Jie's performance was not satisfactory. In this nongshim cup competition, Ke Jie, as the main player of the Chinese team, also lost to South Korea's shin jin-chan. After the game, Ke Jie, who exported psychological shadows, said that Shen Zhenchen's chess was simply not human, and there was not a single problem player in the whole game. Ke Jie believes that Shen Zhenchen's control ability is now stronger than that of the alpha dog of that year, and now this Go cannot be played.
Shin Jin-chan, whom Ke Jie refers to as a non-human, continued to work hard and defeated Japan's main player Yi Li liao in the final match of the Nongshim Cup on February 26, helping the Korean team win the title of this year's Nongshim Cup. Indeed, as Ke Jie said, in the current state of Shen Zhenchen, it is very difficult for all chess players, including Ke Jie, to win chess. Shen Zhenchen is like a computer that runs accurately, with the control ability of an alpha dog, and the opponent will feel that he cannot make it strong, step by step, fall into the layout of Shen Zhenchen, and finally lose the game.
Ke Jie's loss to Shen Zhenchen also made him controversial, and he was also under great pressure to respond to netizens. Ke Jie said that he was fed up with being educated by people who didn't know any Go, and he wouldn't make any comments about Go technology in the future. Ke Jie usually makes some remarks on the Internet, but also because of her dare to say and dare to do character, she often lets herself fall into criticism. Ke Jie even emptied all the content of his Weibo, but also to avoid further falling into the whirlpool of public opinion. Ke Jie, who has now switched to the platform, seems to be unable to change his personality of saying something, and this time he is also responding to netizens not to teach him to play chess.
Ke Jie's talent for Go is beyond doubt, and now he may have undergone some changes in his mentality, and there is no way to treat some games with a normal heart, including the contest with Shen Zhenchen, if Ke Jie's mentality can be calmer, maybe the result will be different. From some of Ke Jie's social states, it can be seen that he is under a lot of pressure, and perhaps how to improve his psychological state is a problem that Ke Jie should pay attention to in the future.
