In the World of Go, there are many chess players who are over-praised by chess fans, saying that the good point is praise, and saying that the ugly point is overblown. For example, some chess players in ancient times and the "soldiers" of the Japanese Edo period, as well as nie weiping nine dan and black jiajia seven dan today.
Is Nie Weiping's strength in the Ninth Dan the world's first?
First of all, I am a fan of Nie Weiping's nine paragraphs, but I see that there are often countless people who take Nie Lao Bo's eyeballs, saying that Nie Lao is the first in the world, etc., which feels inconsistent with the facts, which will only make Nie Lao more black, so I hereby explain it.
Elder Nie was really strong at his peak, which was undeniable. The influence of Nie Lao on Chinese Go and the "Go fever" that appeared because of Nie Lao's heroic performance in the Sino-Japanese Go ring are irreplaceable, undeniable and unquestionable facts.
But was Elder Nie really invincible in the world at that time?
From the first tournament to the tenth tournament, Zhao Zhixun, the strongest chess player in Japan, did not participate at that time, and during this period, Nie Lao and Zhao Zhixun fought and lost more and won less. In 1984, the "Sino-Japanese Go Showdown" was a three-game game, and Nie Laojing swallowed two duck eggs. However, during the quarterfinals of the Ying Cup, Nie Lao defeated Zhao Zhixun and also made Old Zhao "tear up on the spot". In the semi-finals of the 1993 Toyo Securities Cup, Zhao Zhixun once again defeated Nie Lao 2:0. It was also this year that Zhao Zhixun defeated Nie Lao again at the Fujitsu Cup. In 1994, in the quarterfinals of the Toyo Securities Cup, Nie Lao took revenge on Zhao Zhixun. In the quarterfinals of the 1995 Toyo Securities Cup, Zhao Zhixun took revenge on Nie Lao. In the 1998 Samsung Cup, Zhao Zhixun once again eliminated Nie Lao.
The historical record of Zhao Zhixun's nine victories and two losses far crushed Nie Lao.
However, there is also a saying: Nie Lao is basically not at the peak after 1985, so the chess loss to Lao Zhao does not represent real strength.
That's a far-fetched statement. If Nie Lao was no longer at the peak in 85 years, what should be the explanation for the fact that Nie Lao won the first Ying Cup when he faced Zhao Zhixun? Moreover, in 1990, Nie Lao also reached the final of the Fujitsu Cup, and even reached the final of the Toyo Securities Cup in 1994.
Of course, the decline in Nie Lao's strength after the Ying Cup is also an indisputable fact, after all, that sense of gap cannot be ignored by anyone.
In addition to Zhao Zhixun's nine dans, Lin Haifeng's nine dan and Xiao Lin Guang's nine dan records against Nie Lao were not bad. In the first six consecutive battles between Lin Haifeng's nine duan and Nie Lao, Nie Lao only won one victory and five losses. (The results of Nie Lao and Kobayashi Koichi that I have checked are different from what others have said, so they are not included in it).)
And for Cao Xuanxuan, who has a more brilliant record of Nie Lao, there is no need to say more.
In summary, I personally believe that Nie Lao's strength in the peak period or the 80s really had a strong "six super" level, but to say that it is the first in the world, it is a bit exaggerated.
Is Hei Jia Jia a four-thousand-year-old Go beauty?
In recent years, there have always been mainstream media and self-media people who have advocated "four thousand years of Go beauty" or "the first beauty of Go" when talking about Hei Jiajia.
Although there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts, it is too much to say that they are "four thousand years of Go beauties".
If nothing else, just Tang Li. Personally, I feel that no matter the appearance and temperament, it is stronger than That of Black Jiajia.
In addition, now Chinese female chess players Yu Lijun, Gao Xing and South Korean female chess player Xu Ruiying and others, their appearance and temperament are not inferior to Hei Jiajia, let me ask how this "first beauty of Go" and "four thousand years of Go beauty" came from?
Of course, everyone's aesthetic is different, so it's hard to say who is the most beautiful, and any statement is just someone's own opinion.
Summary: It is good to love Go, but you can't blow it brainlessly, and it is really not interesting to blindly blow it without a brain. And the use of brainless Blowing Go players to achieve the purpose of attracting people's attention is really shameful!
