The day before yesterday, I said in the text: "There are only a few recognized geniuses in the Go world, Wu Qingyuan, Sakata Einan, Cao Xuanxuan, Ma Xiaochun, Lee Chang-ho, Lee Sedol, Ke Jie and Shin Jin-chan, these eight are basically recognized geniuses." ”
However, it was such a sentence that caused a fierce discussion among chess fans and a fierce crusade against me. Their views can be summed up in one sentence: Except for Wu Qingyuan and Li Changhao Kejie, none of the people you list are Go geniuses, and when it comes to Go geniuses, there is no chess saint, which shows that you don't know anything about Go.
So are the recognized go geniuses not as much as Eino Sakata, Khao Kao-hyun, Ma Xiaochun, Lee Sedol and Shin Jin-jin? I think obviously not.
Sakata Eio, saying that he is a Go genius, seems to be dissatisfied, because some people say that Wu Qingyuan could not participate in major Japanese competitions at that time, so Sakata Eio dominated for a while. If Wu Qingyuan could participate in major competitions in Japan, Sakata Einan might not have won so many championship titles. But you must know that in several chess battles, Sakata Einan has defeated Wu Qingyuan, and after the rise of the "Six Supers" represented by Otake Hero and Lin Haifeng, Bantian can still win the championship year after year, and such strength is not in your eyes? "Razor" or do you want to understand?
Cho Hwan-hyun, who successfully set the stage at the age of 9 through the fixed stage competition, such a record, more than 50 years later, China, Japan and South Korea are still the "youngest age fixed period" holder. Coupled with Hideyuki Fujisawa's parity and nine world championship titles, it would be too demeaning to say that Cho is not a Go genius. You know, among the chess players of the same period, Cao Xuanxuan's results are the best.
Ma Xiaochun Jiudan, because of the demon's demonic style of chess, won the reputation of "demon knife". At the same time, coupled with the evaluation of Hideyuki Fujisawa and the peak performance of the opening and hanging style in 95-99, is not the Go talent so cattle? Without Lee Chang-ho, that era would have belonged to Ma Xiaochun.
As for Lee Sedol and Shin Shin-chan, how powerful are these two people, "Little Li Flying Knife" and "Shen Gong Intelligence" at their peak? Saying that they are not geniuses, who else dares to say that they are geniuses? Who else wears the talent?
Among these chess players, Sakata Einan is too far away from us to put aside for the time being. Aren't Cao Xuan-hyun, Ma Xiaochun, Lee Sedol, and Shin Jin-chan also not go geniuses? Cho suppressed almost everyone except Masaki Takemiya during the Sino-Japanese period. As for Ma Xiaochun, it is recommended to look at his results from 1995 to 1999. Lee Se-seok is the absolute king after Lee Chang-ho, and when "three dan is enough", how high is his winning percentage of the nine dan? (Xinglin Yike statistics before, temporarily no data) and 14 world champions in hand, zombie stream, Xiao Li flying knife, which is not a unique skill? Finally, there is Shin Jin-tan, the first chess player of the post-00s six-dan, seven-dan, eight-dan, nine-dan, world champion, and 7:0 clean sheet Park Tinghuan. Say that he is not a go genius, so why not defeat others first? Please rise to the ninth dan first, please win the world championship first.
Because I didn't list Chess Saint as a Go genius, so I don't understand Go?
On August 25, 2017, I began to write about Go, and so far in the past four years, I have accumulated 858 pictures and texts, and there are countless videos and atlases, and I don't know how many times I have watched the history, documentaries, and memoirs about Go. Even if my Go level is 18k, aren't these 858 graphics and texts, and countless times of watching Go documentaries, not enough for me to understand Go?
Some people say that I have been towards Cho Hyun Hyun Lee Chang-ho to them, not also! When I didn't know how to play Go, at the beginning I admired Nie Weiping, Ke Jie, Ma Xiaochun, Chang Hao, Shi Yue, and Chen Yaoye. Later, he learned Go because of Ke Jie's performance in the Lunar New Year Cup and watching a documentary about Nie Weiping's nine-dan Sino-Japanese Go tournament. With the passage of time, I learned more about Go, and I felt that Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol Were also good, and they slowly liked them. I once said that before Ke Jie, our Go leaders were to a certain extent inferior to Korean chess players, which is to Cao Xuan-hyun Lee Chang-ho? Isn't that the truth? Not the truth?
In short, there seems to be not much recognition of Go genius, but there are many people with Go talent, such as Peng Liyao, who is watching his father and chess friends play chess, and it will be seen when he looks at it, so do you think he belongs to the genius type of chess player? Or a gifted chess player?
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, you say that Zhang San is a genius, I say that Li Si is a genius, and Wang Ermazi still does not agree with it, in short, to say who is a genius, please first look at the evaluation of the chess players in the same period, and then comprehensive performance data analysis, maybe this can be fair.
