The Sino-Japanese Go Tournament enabled Nie Weiping to win 11 consecutive consecutive victories in the main position, which opened up a beautiful situation in which he bravely championed the three armies and looked at the world. In recognition of this hero in the ring, the Chinese Weiqi Association awarded him the supreme honorary title of "Chess Saint".
However, the peak means the beginning of the slippery slope. Although Nie Weiping's decline is not a linear decline, its downward trend is obvious. In order to witness the decline of Nie Qisheng, I chose his five major defeats today.
On March 14, 1988, China's Nie Weiping defeated Japanese master Masao Kato to win the third Sino-Japanese ring match, and in April of the same year, the first Fujitsu Cup World Go Championship began, opening the prelude to the World Go Tournament, Nie Weiping won two consecutive victories and successfully reached the final four. On July 2 of that year, the semi-finals began, but Nie Weiping, who met Masaki Takemiya in the final before the match, broke the contract because he was eliminated by two waist Lin Haifeng. This was Nie Weiping's first big defeat in a major event, and if he passed Lin Haifeng's level, then it would be he who won the first World Series laurel in history, not Masaki Wugong.

Nie Weiping's second big defeat came from the third battle of the Fourth Sino-Japanese Ring on December 18, 1988 against Hagen Taisho. This game of chess Nie Weiping led by more than half a game, when the official who did not receive a big deal, I don't know whether it was a lack of oxygen, or a decline in energy and concentration, in short, Nie Laoxia was defeated, the loss was quite large, and finally failed to save the situation. It should be said that Hagen Taisho is also a strong nine-dan, and won the title of Japanese throne in 1990, so Nie Weiping's defeat this time is not a big cold. The key is that Nie Weiping bid farewell to the 11 consecutive victories in the ring, and the myth has since come to an end, of course, the Chinese side of this ring has also declared defeat after three consecutive championships.
In the fourth set of the first Ying Cup final in 1989, he lost to Cho Hwan-hyun, the third biggest defeat in Nie Weiping's life. He had previously led 2:1, as long as he won the game, he would win the Ying Cup, but in the leading situation, a humble mistake sent Nie Weiping to a situation of no return. Nie Weiping, who played a big game in the fifth game, was defeated by the Korean Go Emperor and watched his opponent win.
In the semi-finals of the third Fujitsu Cup in 1990, Nie Weiping took revenge on Cao Kao Hyun to reach the final. This is Nie Weiping's second impact on the world championship, but sadly, he was knocked down by the 48-year-old evergreen forest haifeng. This was Nie Weiping's fourth Waterloo in a major match.

The fifth humiliating defeat took place in the second True Dew Cup Three Nations Tournament. The four Chinese chess players who appeared in the early stage, Cao Dayuan, Liu Xiaoguang, Yu Bin and Ma Xiaochun, faced the Japanese and South Korean opponents without winning, and left the game as much as possible. On January 13, 1994, China's last general, Nie Weiping, appeared on the stage to challenge Japan's third player, the "tiger" known as the "tiger" of the fierce general Yoshiki Ida. In the previous fourth Sino-Japanese ring match, Yoshiki Ida, as the vanguard, actually won six consecutive victories and forced out the Chinese main general Nie Weiping, and as a result, our Nie Qisheng lived up to expectations and cut the tiger under the horse. But this time, Nie Weiping failed to turn the tide, and Yi Tian also defeated it with color. Since then, the five Chinese generals in this Three-Nation Tournament have not won a single victory, which has made me lose face in the Chinese Go world and cannot be repeated.
After five major defeats, Nie Weiping returned to the light at the 6th Toyo Securities Cup in 1995, successively capturing Lee Chang-ho, Noriki Ida, and Hiroshi Yamashiro to reach the final, and finally he made a wedding dress for Ma Xiaochun, completing the opponent's throne as China's first world Go champion.
After that, Nie Weiping Qisheng had almost no brilliant record in various competitions, and a generation of gods of war bid farewell to the forefront of the world series.
