At 10 a.m. on April 23, 2024, Chang Hao, chairman of the Chinese Go Association, came to the training base of the Quzhou Guantang Hotel of the National Go Team to make a report for the new members of the National Go Team who participated in the training here, and encouraged the members of the National Go Team to win glory for the country, not forget the mission, and maintain the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the National Go Team.
Chairman Chang Hao's report is divided into four parts: First, the glorious past and the inheritance of the mission. The National Go Team is a team full of a sense of honor, mission and historical heritage. The national Go team was established in the sixties of the last century, although Go is not an Olympic sport, but it has always undertaken the mission of winning glory for the country. At the beginning of its establishment, there was a big gap between the strength of Chinese Go and Japanese Go, and Ito Tomoe maintained a complete victory over the Chinese chess players in the fifth dan, and the young chess players represented by Chen Zude won glory for the country and worked hard. In the unremitting struggle of Chen Lao's "self-transcendence" and Nie Lao's "ring spirit", Chinese chess players have surpassed Japanese chess players.
Every chess player can join the national Go team, and there is a sense of honor as a member of the national Go team. When you participate in the Asian Games, when you wear the national team uniform printed with the national flag, and when you participate in the World Championships, I believe you all have a sense of honor and pride in winning glory for the country. For this reason, we must cherish the opportunity to be in the national team and cherish the opportunity to wear the national team jersey.
Chang Hao fondly recalled the positive, united and friendly atmosphere in the training room of the national Go team. He recalls the sense of loss when he was not selected for the Chunlan Cup in 2012, "The first time I entered the Chunlan Cup venue as a guest instead of a participating chess player, I felt very deep and a sense of loss. It is not about the final result, but to be able to represent the national Go team in the competition, which is a kind of luck, a kind of happiness, and it is a very good time in our lives. ”
Second, the mission is on the shoulder, and the struggle is up to me. The national Go team shoulders the mission and responsibility of winning glory for the country and serving the country with chess, and must set high standards for itself and pursue the chess path endlessly. Chang Hao said that although the national team players have worked very hard in various competitions and achieved excellent results, the performance of the Nongshim Cup in February this year still needs to be criticized. Wins and losses on the field were normal, but the content of the game was not satisfactory. A lot of problems were judged, and it was clear that the situation was no longer the case, but it was still very optimistic. Obviously, this is no longer a technical problem, but a lack of attention on the spiritual level. Since you represent the national team and participate in the Nongshim Cup, you should have a high sense of collective honor and prepare for the game seriously, rather than losing to yourself.
In view of the scarcity of games before and after the Spring Festival, Chang Hao said that the national Go team will make appropriate arrangements for competitions before and after the Spring Festival in the future to ensure that the chess players have a good competitive state and participate in the final stage of the Nongshim Cup after the holiday. This year is a big year for world competitions, and the national team players must strive to wash away the shame of defeat with the results of the competition.
Chang Hao also took Michael Jordan as an example to inspire the national team players to have the courage to work hard and constantly surpass themselves. Michael Jordan has had many failures despite all the natural advantages that others can't match. The Bulls he played for were swept in the playoffs, but Jordan not only insisted on training hard himself, taking his opponents' various actions against him (Jordan's rules) as a temper, but he also inspired his teammates and urged them to discipline their training, so as to build the team's mental strength, and the Bulls finally achieved three consecutive NBA championships. "Attitude determines your height. Don't set limits for yourself, as long as you have lofty ideals, firm beliefs, and continuous hard work, you can defeat your opponents and achieve your goals.
Third, help each other and unite as one. The national team is a big family, and there should be no suspicion and suspicion between each other, and there should be no words and deeds that are unfavorable to the national team. Be open and honest in everything, be honest, find the coach, the head coach or even the chairman of the Go Association if you have any questions, resolve conflicts and difficulties in a timely manner, and maintain the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the national team.
Fourth, strictly abide by discipline and guard against public opinion. Encourage the circle of friends and self-media that promote positive energy and spread Go, but we must consciously maintain the collective, the industry, and ourselves. Everyone is not only a chess player, but also a chess player, cheating is strictly prohibited, gambling is strictly prohibited. The positive image of Go is created by the accumulation of generations of Go people, and it is foolproof and foolproof. This is also the minimum bottom line of conscience of professional chess players, and they must not harm others and themselves, thereby harming the entire industry.
The national team has formulated various rules and regulations to maintain the healthy and normal operation of the national team, and the national team chess players have a high level and high consciousness, and they must also take the lead in maintaining the honor of the national team and the Go industry.
Yu Bin, head coach of the national team, and Wang Lei, coach of the national team, also participated in the report activity.
