Since winning the World Championships on November 3, 2020, Ke Jie has not won this crown again.
Go titan Nie Weiping estimated that Ke Jie should have 28 trophies in his hands, but the fact is that since three years ago, this outstanding player has not won any international championships. Shen Zhenzhen, the appearance of this name, has become a difficult problem in front of his road to success.
Before 2020, Shen Zhenzhen did not taste a victory against Ke Jie, but now the situation has changed dramatically, even if Ke Jie still maintains a high winning rate, he is getting worse against Shen Zhenzhen. Recently, Shen Zhenzhen has defeated Ke Jie six times in a row.
After watching Shen Zhenzhen defeat himself repeatedly, Ke Jie kept mentioning this person in the live broadcast, lamenting that if he hadn't appeared, he could have added one or two more world championship trophies.
He lamented: "I always miss the chance to win and miss out on the opportunity to dominate the stage because of my bad luck. Especially in the LG Cup, he was blocked by Shin Jinzhen one after another, and tragically stopped in the semifinals.
After conceiving against Shin Zhenzhen, I mentioned this person several times in the competition, saying that if it was not interfered with, I might have to enter the finals again, or even win the championship. If he doesn't win, I'm afraid he will already have nine crowns. In the final analysis, the only way to improve his own strength is to go on the right path, after all, except for Shen Zhenzhen, other opponents are not as strong as him. ”
On how to subdue this strong opponent, Ke Jie said: "I am eager to defeat Shen Zhenzhen, but the difficulty is beyond words. Unless the opponent makes a mistake, there is no chance of winning. You have to borrow the power of others to win. ”
Shen Zhenzhen questioned Ke Jie's position, believing that Chinese Go players were superior and admitted that it would be difficult to beat Li Xuanhao, who had few shortcomings.
After countless defeats, Ke Jie finally figured out the gap with Shen Zhenzhen. This was also sincerely admitted during the live broadcast:
"I can't study Go all day in front of the chessboard like Shin Zhenzhen. Except for sleep and playing chess, there is nothing else. I had a lot to do and get my studies done, and I had limited time.
Looking back on my upbringing, I spent a lot of time learning Go as a child, and now it is not easy to find the motivation of the past. On the other hand, Shen Zhenzhen has always insisted on learning, and the results of AI are a symbol of his hard work.
Stepping into the age of 30, Go no longer occupies the whole of my life. Therefore, in today's competitive environment, my competitiveness is naturally much lower.
Frankly, now I can only devote three hours a day to Go, and I can't change the service and there is a problem, please try again later.
