Many people will think that our professional chess players are "people who play Go very well". Title battles are the platform for the strongest players in the Go world, and the evaluation of chess players will also be based on the results of the chess battles. If you leave the arena and serve as a commentator or guide, it is obviously not possible to do it without strong strength. But some people say, "Once the chess players are no longer strong, they have no value," which I don't actually agree with. Whether it is strong or not is directly expressed according to their respective feelings, but there are actually many factors in Go. The organizers who sponsor the competition are also aware of the elements beyond winning or losing, and expect these factors to bring value to them.

Chess players not only have to improve their own strength, but also do a lot of things in order to make everyone happy to play Go. Conveying the slightest change in the game does require a certain amount of chess strength, but choosing the focus and the way to explain it will also affect the satisfaction of chess fans. When coaching chess fans, it is necessary to stand in the position of the person being guided and consider the problems in their minds. Sometimes once you want to pursue your own strength, it is contrary to the original intention

Many people think that learning Go is a very difficult thing, so the status quo is that only some people enjoy it. Originally, Go is a very simple game, and everyone can easily get started, so we need to have an introductory method that can make everyone solve the difficulty of getting started with Go. Although Go can improve or prevent Alzheimer's disease, it is also very difficult for the elderly to understand Go. Someone has said a long time ago that Go is introduced into the classroom as a kind of course, but if it is to become a course, it must be that everyone can play Go. Therefore, if you find a way to learn Go in a short period of time, I believe that Go will not stay on hobbies, but can develop into more fields and always pay attention to it.

Go is a game in which players all share a common goal of victory and then immerse themselves in the world of Go, where all sorts of exchanges take place. Strength is the basis for the quality of the content in the process of the game, and there is no end to the pursuit of stronger strength, but this process is by no means a waste of time. The presence of chess players can also make communication more ever-changing, which is also the interesting thing about Go. Of course, let more people feel the fun of Go, make the content of Go easier to understand, and then deeply understand Go, which is also the work of professional chess players, which is also the "powerful" place of chess players.
