Absolute double pride refers to two high-ranking people who are magnificent in the same era. In the world chess world or the history of human Go, the only ones who can be called the absolute double pride are Fan Xiping Shi Xiangxia in the Qing Dynasty and the contemporary Guli Li Shishi. These four people are not only of equal level, but also the strongest of the time, undisputed.
Since the 1988 World Go Championship, Gu Li and Li Shishi, who were born in 1983, are the most equal pairs in the history of the World Chess Championship, and we cannot find such an intractable opponent in the post-50s, post-60s, post-70s, post-90s and even post-00s chess players.
After the 40s chess players, the big bamboo hero of the Japanese chess world and Lin Haifeng are called "bamboo forest", but the two have never dominated the Japanese chess world, and the other four super quickly catch up. Although the bamboo forest is beautiful, it has not been able to win the world.
Among the post-50s chess players, Koichi Kobayashi and Zhao Zhixun in the Japanese chess world are also a pair of good opponents who have been competing for hegemony for a long time, but they cannot be called absolute double pride. One is that in the Japanese chess world, there are also Heroes Otake, Hayashi Haifeng, Masao Kato, Masaki Takemiya, etc. that are not significantly inferior to their native four super-first-class. Second, in addition to the Japanese chess world, there are also Chinese Nie Weiping and South Korean Xu Bongsu who are not inferior to them. What's more important is that there is a level significantly higher than their Korean Go emperor Cho Hyun Hyun. That is to say, although the level of Koichi Kobayashi and Zhao Zhixun is extremely high, they cannot be crowned at that time, so they cannot be called the absolute double pride. In the same way, South Korea's Cho Hyun Hyun and Seo Bong-so have been fighting for nearly twenty years, but because Seo Bong-so has lost too much, the two are actually not on par, so they cannot be called absolutely proud.
Among the post-60s chess players, South Korea's Liu Changhe, China's Ma Xiaochun, Japan's Ida Kiki, and Wang Licheng are the most prominent, but they are all obscured by the unborn genius Lee Chang-ho.
Among the post-70s chess players, Chang Hao and Li Changhao are the only pair of opponents of the times, which can be called the "double wall" of the world chess world. The two have met in world series finals five times and are the most encountered opponents in world series finals so far. Lee Chang-ho won 17 world championships and 11 runners-up; Chang Hao won 3 world championships and 8 runners-up. Because of the relatively large disparity in achievements, it is difficult for the two to be called equal opponents.
Among the 90 chess players, the battle records between China's Ke Jie and South Korea's Park Tinghuan are equal, but Ke Jie has 7 crowns, Park Tinghuan has 4 crowns, and Park Tinghuan is now surpassed by Shin Jin-chan after 00, and the two can hardly be called unique double pride.
Among the post-00 chess players, Shen Zhenchen rode in the dust, and no chess player of the same age could match.
Gu Li won 8 world championships, Lee Sedol won 14 world championships, and in Gu Li Juban, Gu Li lost 2:6. At first glance, Coulee is much inferior to Lee Sedol, but if we analyze it objectively, we will conclude that Coulee and Lee Sedol are actually on par.
Comparison of the number of world champions
Coulee won 8 world championships and Lee Sedol won 14 world championships. The main reason why Lee Sedol has more world championships than Gulli is that Lee Sedol debuted earlier than Gulli. Lee Sedol's first World Go Tournament final was held in 2001, a full five years before Guli! In more than five years, Lee Sedol has won 6 world championships! The main reason is that the overall level of Go in Korea at that time was significantly higher than that in China, and the scientific and systematic training was also significantly stronger than that in China. Chang Hao was a little bit worse than Li Changhao in the early days, in fact, he suffered this dark loss. At that time, Korean Go was the base camp of the world's Go technology change, and the so-called near-water building platform won the moon first, and Lee Sedol seized the opportunity.
After the rise of Guli, Guli gained 8 world crowns, and Li Shishi also took 8 world crowns. When Gu Lidu was at his peak, the achievements achieved by the two were basically the same.
Chess skills comparison
Gu Li and Lee Sedol have their own skills, and The Korean King Liu Chang hyuk once commented:
The appearance and feeling of Guli Jiudan are better, but in terms of the calculation power of melee, Lee Sedol Jiudan is indeed more powerful.
Lee Sedol is good at grasping fleeting fighters, and Gu Li is better at creating opportunities. Both belong to the power type, Lee Sedol is better at disrupting the situation than Gu Li, and Gu Li is better at fighting than Li Shishi.
Results of the two sides
The two played 49 innings, each winning 24 innings, one draw, and the real difference was not in the game.

In the chess world, it is a fortunate thing to have an opponent of equal strength. The Great Qing Chess Saint Huang Longshi and the Japanese Ancient Chess Saint Dao ce are both known as the thirteen dan, and the chess power is far beyond the times, so that the contemporaries should be the second son. But the desire and loneliness of seeking defeat and not being able to get it is not understandable to ordinary people.
