Prodigy Cup in 1986
This is a photo of the first Prodigy Cup in 1986, nine-year-old Chang Hao (first row right) won the championship, Yu Ping from Sichuan won the second place, the first row had Zhou Heyang from Luoyang (the first row of the fourth right), Zhou Heyang's left, standing half a head shorter Luo Xianhe, behind Zhou Heyang, was Liang Yadi, also from Luoyang, Henan, Liang Yadi was 12 years old this year, more than one head taller than the 9-year-old Luo Xianhe. Seventeen years later, Luo Xiehe and Liang Yadi were happily married and became husband and wife.
Friends who are good at mathematics will sensitively point out that Liang Yadi is 3 years older than Luo Xiehe? Is this possible?
The answer is yes. This is another good story in the Go world, Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan are in love with each other after another pair of chess sisters and brothers.
Luo Xiehe and Liang Yadi
The Seven Little Dragons of Chinese Go have reached the age of marriage and children at the beginning of this century, among these seven people, the most eye-catching is the love story of Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan, which has been written, and then, the marriage between Liu Jing and Xu Yuhua and Chess is also worth mentioning. I'll tell you more about this story later.
Today I will tell you about the love story of the Roche River. From the perspective of historical process, Luo Xihe seems to be doing anything a little slower than Chang Hao, because he is one year younger than Chang Hao, so everything he does seems to be behind Chang Hao.
When he was a child, Chang Hao won the Prodigy Cup, Luo Xiehe later won a Frost Flower Cup championship, Chang Hao was promoted to the ninth dan in 1999, three years later, Luo Hao also rose to the ninth dan, Chang Hao won the Ying Cup in 2005, and then in January 2006, Luo Xihe also won the three-star cup championship.
Even marriage is the same, in 1999 Chang Hao broke through many obstacles, married his 8-year-old sister Zhang Xuan, Luo Xihe is the second of the Seven Little Dragons of Go to get married, whether it was inspired by Chang Hao's marriage is not clear, his wife is three years older than him. In fact, the two people have known each other for a long time, and some people say that they are acquaintances, how can Luo Xihe get his hands on it? However, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart.
At the end of August 2003, Luo Xiehe Jiu Duan and Liang Yadi Er Duan registered their marriage in Zhengzhou, which created another chess story. As usual, some people will wonder who is chasing whom, and what are the specific details? Since there is no detailed report on this, we can only recount the general course of events.
There are group photos during the prodigy cup as evidence, the two people first met is a very early thing, when Luo Xiehe was nine years old, Liang Yadi was twelve years old, but they knew each other, and there was a connection between them in 1995, when Luo Xiehe was eighteen years old and Liang Yadi was twenty-one years old, but it felt like it suddenly got better in 2002. That year Luo Xiehe was twenty-five years old, and Liang Yadi was twenty-eight years old.
Luo Xiehe and Zhang Xuan and Chang Hao were together
It turned out that in the Dan Tournament in Hangzhou in July 2002, Luo Xihe won consecutively against Fang Tianfeng, Yang Shihai and Ding Wei, and with the results of winning all three battles, they became the 24th nine-dan chess player in China as desired. Luo Xiehe, who had just been promoted to the ninth dan, inadvertently went to Liang Yadi's chess table to watch the sister play chess, and after a game of chess, Luo Xianhe "suddenly had an inexplicable feeling" for this sister, and then the exchanges and contacts between the two gradually became closer.
In April 2003, Luo Xihe participated in the Wei B League, Liang Yadi participated in the National Women's Team Competition, both competitions were held in Shanghai, so the two people with connections met again, Luo Xihe took the opportunity to propose to Liang Yadi, liang Yadi gladly accepted.
In 2003, Liang Yadi went to Beijing to participate in the AhanTongshan Cup competition and took the opportunity to meet for the first time with Luo Xiehe's parents, who had already settled in Beijing from Hunan. Since the two people are in love and belong to the people in the Go circle, the parents of both sides of course agreed.
Compared to Luo Xianhe, one of the famous "Seven Little Dragons", Liang Yadi is also an excellent female chess player, and in 2003 she won the women's runner-up of the national individual competition. In the years before her marriage, Liang Yadi has been committed to the training of children's chess players in Shenzhen. But after Liang Yadi married Luo Xiehe, she left Shenzhen and shifted her focus to Beijing to develop.
In the more than a year that Liang Yadi and Luo Xiehe have been in love, the time between the two people is actually not much. One in Shenzhen, one in Beijing, in addition to training, is the competition, to put it bluntly, the intensity of the work has not been reduced at all, such a love lasted more than a year, the two people decided to get married decisively.
Some people say that this is also too unromantic, right?
Two people who make a living from chess, what they miss is not only romance, I think Luo Xihe is still very pragmatic to get married, very good, you have to say that he was inspired by Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan's marriage, I can't refute you.
Anyway, the two of them were together like this, and the speed was comparable to lightning.
Liang Yadi
In a lifetime of marriage such a big thing, the two people actually did not plan to invite the leaders of the chess academy, chess players to drink happy wine, set up a few tables of banquets or something, the real is otherworldly, and the world's sentient beings are so keen on weddings like Chinese or Western,Wear decent clothes, take a pomp wedding photo, invite how many relatives and friends, set up a few tables for banquets, set up a ceremony table, collect some money or whatever the unsatisfactory plan, there is nothing.
The chess players have always been entangled in the game, and the newlywed piglet does not even have a complete honeymoon, but Luo Xihe is very content, in fact, it is not bad, and the density of the game is not very large.
Luo Xiehe did not like a stressful life, so he usually read books, chatted, played chess or something, and the day passed.
Two people with more time will also discuss chess and so on. Luo Xiehe and Liang Yadi play chess, most of them are Won by Luo Xiehe, and he does not like to be humble in his professional field.
The two people do not even have plans to have children, marriage is marriage, but everything is still career-oriented for the time being.
When Liang Yadi did not play, she would still go to the Go classroom to teach chess, Luo Xianhe usually went to the Chinese chess academy to train, after two years of marriage, the two people bought a new car, driving is Liang Yadi, she often drives Luo Xihe to the Chinese chess academy for training.
Although it did not take the previous month, but the married life is still sweet, in the process of interviewing reporters, Luo Xiehe, who has been married for nearly three years, still behaves very closely with his wife, just like a pair of lovers in love, the specific performance is to talk in the interview and inadvertently pick up his wife's hand to play.
Liang Yadi revealed that Luo Xihe is very worry-free, eating and wearing is not picky, of course, after marriage, many bad habits of the past still have to be changed. After getting married, I stopped smoking and quit drinking alcohol in March 2005. The clothes were also neat and decent, which was the credit of the wife. Luo Xiehe could not refute this, he only stressed: "In fact, she is not the only one who takes care of me, I also have to take care of her."
At this time, Liang Yadi's gaze became soft, and her gentle and virtuous personality made her full of understanding and tolerance for her husband.
This life is not romantic, but it is very stable.
Roche River
Luo Xihe is also a chess player with a good personality, and the family of two chess players together should be said to be a relatively common match.
There are many such examples, such as Cao Dayuan, Yang Hui, Jiang Zhujiu, Rui Naiwei, Chang Hao, Zhang Xuan, and of course, Chen Yaoye Jiudan found a wife who could not play chess, and lived a very happy life.
Ke Jiejiu said that he did not intend to find people in the industry, and it is also understandable that the personal communication circle is different, and the preferences and interests are of course very different.
Chang Hao
At the age of nine, Luo Xiehe entered the Chinese Chess Academy to study. The chess academy tested the IQ of the small players, and the test results showed that Luo Xihe's IQ was as high as 164, while Chang Hao, who was one year older than him, had an IQ of 139, and the scores of other chess players were mostly about 110. Therefore, From a young age, Rochehe was labeled a "genius prodigy".
Of course, Luo Xiehe did not approve of the evaluation of the "genius prodigy".
He even took the initiative to expose to reporters: "In fact, shortly after that, they once again conducted an IQ test on me, and the result was only more than 120 points." But this time the results of the reporter do not publicize, there is no one to know, if the third test, I estimate that the score will not be too high. ”
However, the reporter is not going to let him go, you say you are not a chess genius, so who is it?
Luo Xiehe smiled and said, "Don't ask me this question, because I don't know either." ”
Juvenile Roche River
Luo Xianhe was 5 years old when he first came into contact with Go, two months away, when he was in the kindergarten full nursery class, and his father was the secretary general of the Hunan Hengyang Weiqi Association.
He had a Go record book, which recorded the game between the Go formula and his own chess score, once this record book was taken to kindergarten by his 4-year-old son, and a few days later Lao Luo found that the book had been torn to pieces.
It turned out that the book was torn off by his son page by page, and used by the children origami airplane, but only the page numbers that recorded the chess score were retained, so Lao Luo, who thought that his son was related to Go, began to teach his son to play Go.
After half a year, Lao Luo was no longer his son's opponent. Lao Luo considered his son a genius. So he recommended his genius son to Yang Zhicun, the leader and coach of the Changsha Weiqi team and also the deputy secretary general of the Weiqi Association.
Yang Zhicun and Luo Xiehe played a game of chess to let the six sons, and the result of this game of test chess was that Luo Xiehe was quickly defeated.
"You take the child and go back first," Yang Zhicun said to Lao Luo very unceremoniously.
But only three months later, Luo Xihe came back, this time he began to play chess with the students of the Go class, the young man won more than he lost, only lost three games, the rapid progress of chess skills, let Yang Zhicun surprised,
Progress is fast, this is the grandfather's appreciation of rice. So Luo Xiehe was recommended to the Chinese Chess Academy and successfully entered the national junior team.
Due to the young age of Luo Xianhe's entry into the national junior team, the result was the first to last, but only a month and a half later, he won the first place in the training competition of the team, and the speed of progress was staggering.
Rochehe's talent for Go complements his high intelligence, which is useless even if he denies it himself.
Otherwise you can't explain his miraculous performance from 2005 to 2006.
Rochehe's father (left)
After going to Beijing to learn chess, there were probably three people who played a decisive role in Luo Xiehe's life. The first person was Luo Jianwen.
Luo Xiehe just arrived in Beijing, very young, only six years old, lived in his home, lived for three years, until he entered the national junior team did not leave, Teacher Luo cares for the six-year-old chubby Luo Xiehe, Luo Jianwen's wife made a good hand of noodles, so Luo Xianhe also especially loves to eat noodles.
From life common sense to Go knowledge, Luo Jianwen has taught by example, this is Luo Jianwen's high style and bright festival, do not look at Rui Naiwei and Jiang Zhujiu in the book Luo Jianwen said cold-blooded, strict, he spared no effort in cultivating new people, and later he proposed to form a Go national junior team, Chang Hao, Luo Xianhe, Huang Yi and other people have been well trained.
The second person is Ma Xiaochun, for this controversial figure in the Chinese chess world, Luo Xihe commented: "Teacher Ma is the most critical person on my growth path, and he has given me the most critical guidance on many key issues."
When Nie Ma received the "Six Great Disciples", Luo Xiehe and Shao Weigang were counted as Ma Xiaochun's "disciples". Chang Hao, Zhou Heyang, Wang Lei, and Liu Jing were under the guidance of Nie Weiping, which is a good tradition in the Chinese Go community and belongs to the specific embodiment of the chuan gang belt, it is said that Kong Jie, Hu Yaoyu are responsible for Liu Xiaoguang, and Sheikh is responsible for Cao Dayuan.
Regarding this kind of guidance, it was written by reporters as worshippers, but this is not the case.
Among them, Ma Xiaochun is the most dashing, he once publicly said that he took classes, anyone can listen, but to charge, the tuition fee is one yuan.
Shao Weigang said: "In fact, Teacher Ma is only a symbolic fee, usually paying tuition once a period of time. ”
This aspect is actually the most favorable to the Sheikh, saying that Cao Dayuan alone guided him, but in fact, there were two people who taught him, because the guidance place was often in Cao Dayuan's home, Cao Dayuan's wife was the chess beauty Yang Hui Baduan, and she also did not hesitate to point out the chess skills of The Sheikh.
Luo Xiehe studied under Ma Xiaochun in the National Go Training Team, and partially inherited Ma Xiaochun's style and tradition.
Luo Xiehe likened Ma Xiaochun's help to himself to the fact that the practitioners in martial arts novels were opened up to the Eight Pulses of the Qijing.
Ma Xiaochun
The third person who had a great influence on Luo Xiehe was his wife Liang Yadi, who made Luo Xiehe move from a stunned head to maturity.
Liang Yadi not only took care of the housework in an orderly manner, but also made Luo Xiehe feel very stable from his heart, which was very important to him.
With a solid heart, he became more focused on chess, and Luo Xihe's chess also made a qualitative leap in the more than two years after marriage.
The most direct effect of marriage on Rochehe is that it allows him to play chess more purely.
Fast forward to January 13, 2006, a day to be remembered by Chinese Go people.
In the tiebreaker of the 10th Samsung Cup Triple Chess Final, Roche-ho Jiudan defeated Lee Chang-ho Jiudan to win the Samsung Cup with a total score of 2:1, and also created a history of "non-Korean chess players" defeating Lee Chang-ho for the first time in the final of the World Series. In the words of the South Korean media, Rochehe's victory was a landmark victory in the history of modern Go.
We say that a person can only gain recognition and likes from everyone if he has made outstanding achievements in his field. For example, In football, Beckham plays football very well, so his wife Victoria is more concerned, Rooney football is also playing well, and the British people will care about his wife Colleen, and his wife Colleen even received endorsements for a lot of British goods.
Of course, Go is a niche sport, far from the attention of this football, but Luo Xianhe is still famous in the history of Go, and has made great achievements, including many famous games he left in the Samsung Cup, the most famous of which is the one that defeated Cui Zhehan. Abandon the cycle of three robberies, abandon the forty-six sons, and through the robbery, transform and achieve victory.
Liu Xiaoguang praised Luo Xiehe as an artist on the chessboard, which is true.
A thousand people play Go, and everyone plays for ten years, and it is not necessarily necessary to play such a famous game.
In August 2003, Luo Xiehe called the cave house flower candle night, in January 2006, Luo Xiehe won Lee Chang-ho in the final of the Samsung Cup, and became the world champion, which was called the title of the gold list, so some reporters said that after Luo Xiehe got married, his chess strength soared.
Of course, this is not bad, but we must see that it took only one year for Luo Xiehe to change from a small pig to a god pig, and it only took one year for him to change from a god pig to a small pig.
Of course, in this world, the god pig can do, many people may not be able to do it in their lifetime, you must admit that there is such a thing as genius in the world.
Of course, he is extremely talented, but also has fatal flaws, Luo Xihe's chess speed is super fast, the chess pieces fall too fast will inevitably not be rigorous enough, often appear in a situation of rapid defeat, or there is a terrible casual.
In the 2002 Samsung Cup quarterfinals, Luo Xianhe and Cao Xuanxuan narrowly met, in the case of almost certain victory, Luo Xihe insisted on pursuing the inactive problems in the other side's horns, to rob the other side's big horn, was Cao Xuanxuan astutely chose to convert, staged a Go version of the capture and release of Cao Xuanxuan, the consequences of releasing Cao Xuanxuan's tiger were very serious, and the old Cao Who single-handedly broke into the top four even passed Wang Yuhui and Wang Lei, defending the Three Star Cup. You know that there are seven Chinese in the top eight, which makes the Chinese Go world feel bad?
In addition, he spends too much time on personal hobbies, so many insiders evaluate him as a sentence: "Because of uncertainty, it is difficult to become a master."
Mr. and Mrs. Rochehe
Many people regard Chang Hao as a representative of the diligent type in the hands of Go, and Luo Xihe is the representative of the "no work" in the hands of the chess players. Some people even say that if Luo Xiehe had divided half of his energy in playing games to Go, it would not have been like this for a long time.
Some reporters have ventured to speculate that if Rochehe had worked hard early, he might have won the world championship a few years earlier.
Luo Xiehe's reaction was to smile indifferently and say, "You mean that I didn't use my skills before, right?" ”
The Roche River returned with honors
Rochehe loves to play and is known as the king of games. From video game consoles and online games to bridge, mahjong, and landlord fighting, he is his hobby, and every time he plays it, he must be proficient. Its comprehensive ability is absolutely the first in the Chinese Go industry.
Who gives the number, this is how many rabbits to beat?
It is said that in 2000, Qingfeng played against the Go website, Luo Xianhe, as one of the managers, was slashed 4 times by the mysterious network master Long Feihu, which triggered many speculations, who would be the player who could win the professional Go eight-dan Luo Xianhe?
The identity of The Dragon Flying Tiger, in fact, has been revealed later, that is, ding Wei, who is also the old man in the Seven Little Dragons of Go. However, at the beginning of the duel, Luo Xihe's failure to take it seriously was also one of the reasons why he lost chess, what was he doing at that time? It is said that he was still playing military chess when he played Go with Dragon Feihu.
At that time, the popular "Tetris", he can use the fastest speed to handy, this is the level of professional players, ah, now there is this kind of Tetris game live on Douyin. The block descended quickly, and he was overwhelmed, and in Yu Ping's words, "That's simply not a human play." ”
Rochehe said: "The games are very interesting. For example, mahjong, I will remember the cards, must not light the cannon, and mahjong is also very regular, worth studying. ”
Ma Xiaochun witnessed The LuoCha River win the championship
The Roche River is not only fun, but also playful. This is well known in the chess world. In the early 90s of last century, there was a time when Luo Xianhe did not want to play chess, so he pulled a group of people to play cards, or "with color". However, on that occasion, the Luocha River suffered heavy losses, not only lost a fine light, but also owed a "foreign debt". It seems that Luo Xiehe also believes in this.
Luo Xiehe likes to play online games, such as the "Hubei Dou Landlord" that has swept the country. Later, in the gap between the korean matches, Luo Xiehe did not forget to fight on the Internet for a few sets. According to South Korean chess player Kim Seung-joon, "You can't fight with the landlord of Rochehe, he has a high level, plays big, and can't afford to lose." ”
It seems that Luo Xiehe is also gambling, which is somewhat similar to Nie Weiping.
When he first went to South Korea to participate in the competition, he was pulled out to drink by a group of Korean friends, and Luo Xiehe, who did not know the strength of Korean shochu, was quickly laid down. South Korea's true dew wine degree is low, and actresses like Kim Hee-sun are not a problem to drink a few bottles of real dew wine, but they have great staying power. Luo Xiehe was drunk as a beer, and the result was "flattened" by zhenlu wine.
"Now I don't drink anymore," and since being diagnosed by doctors in March 2005 and saying he was going to quit drinking, Lochahe has almost quit both liquor and beer. Luo Xiehe said, "In the past, I used to drink more than 4250 degrees of liquor at night. ”
He was immersed in the world of games for too long, and he spent a lot of time because of greed,
So the magic, like magic, disappeared.
Choi Chul-han
By the way, a digression, the tenth Samsung Cup World Go Tournament, The Roche River came out of nowhere, and the Koreans never expected in advance that the main force of their side was all folded in front of the Roche River.
Rochehe won consecutive victories over Cho Han-sung, Song Tae-kun, Lee Sedol, Choi Chul-han, Lee Chang-ho, this is the rhythm of the top Korean Go masters.
Luo Xiehe defeated Lee Sedol because Lee Sedol had exchanged a few orders and suffered heavy losses.
Two years later, two people were invited to the ancient city of Phoenix to play the China-South Korea World Championship Match, Luo Xihe quickly cut down the horse, and once again defeated Lee Sedol, Lee Sedol was deeply confused by Luo Shihe's attitude to the game, and he won me as if playing.
Who says such an attitude to the game is not a psychological tactic of The Roche River?
Lee Sedol
In the semi-finals, Luo Xiehe left a famous score of Zhang Century (defeating Cui Zhehan), and in the final final, he also defeated the Stone Buddha, and from the result, the Stone Buddha has never won any major world championship since then, and Luo Xiehe has become the person who has created history. All in all, that Samsung Cup not only has a very high gold content, but also has great significance:
Until then, Chinese Go had been overwhelmed by Lee Chang-ho, and The victory of Roche-ho broke Lee Chang-ho's record of being unbeaten against foreign players, crossing the mountain of Lee Chang-ho, which had far-reaching psychological implications for other Chinese players, and also marked the end of Lee Chang-ho's era (because since then, Lee Chang-ho has been depressed and exhausted, and China and South Korea have entered a stage of mutual victory and defeat).
South Koreans suffered heavy losses, and Koreans felt that this breath was difficult to calm down, so they began to look for stubble on piglet's clothing, saying that Chinese did not pay attention to appearance, which affected the solemnity of the Samsung Cup World Series and reduced the sense of ceremony of the World Series. In short, in the future, you must have a suit and other formal clothing to participate in the award ceremony.
This has to mention the lucky suit of The Roche River to win the world championship.
Before going to The Korean race, Rochehe didn't hesitate to stuff a somewhat old, wrinkled tracksuit jacket into his suitcase. From the quarterfinals to the semifinals, Rochehe has been wearing this sportswear to kill one Korean strongman after another, and korean journalists who have been tracking and reporting the game for many years know this sportswear.
In the first two sets of the final with Lee Chang-ho, Luo Xihe temporarily changed his outfit, and the sweater was covered with a shirt, and in the third game, which was the key to determining the championship, Luo Xianhe covered the sportswear on the outside.
After the game, he was arrogant: "The lucky suit is to be worn at a critical moment. ”
This is a very ordinary sportswear that no one knows what brand it is, but on a well-known website in China, the virtual bidding for this lucky suit has grown thousands of times.
This dress seems to have been issued by the team a long time ago. However, wearing it allowed me to win chess and win the world championship, so, this is my lucky suit. Luo Xiehe said mysteriously, and he laughed himself.
The reporter broke the casserole and asked the end of the momentum: So do you also wear lucky clothes when you play chess online?
It doesn't matter, anyway, you can't see what clothes you wear when you play chess online. Luo Xiehe laughed and said, and finally added: "This can't be too superstitious." ”
Fast forward to the next year, the defending champion Luo Xianhe once again reached the round of 16 of the Three Star Cup, but in the round of 16, Luo Xianhe and Gu Li were both out, Luo Xianhe lost to South Korea's new star Bai Honghuai, and Gu Li was half-eyed to Cui Zhehan.
After the defeat of Luo Xiehe, his wife Liang Yadi Erdan took him to the blog.
The blog reads:
In the world competition after the Samsung Cup in January 2006, Luo Xihe finally achieved a breakthrough of zero in the victory of this Samsung Cup.
Rochehe lost to Lee Sedol in the Chunlan Cup this year, Fujitsu Cup to Park Yongxun, Toyota Cup to Takane-tae, Asian Cup to Naoki Hane, Gangwon World Cup China-Korea Ring loss to Ahn Joo-young, zero breakthrough is to defeat Yoon Jun-sang in the Samsung Cup, but then lost to Bai Honghuai, with a total score of 1 win and 6 defeats, brilliant is a mess.
There is never a problem with losing chess, you can go home early if you lose early, buy vegetables at home, brush pots, read books and play games without doing anything, it is really a happy life.
The amount of information revealed by this microblog is huge, first of all, Mrs. Luo's tone is full of ridicule, which makes people can't help but be funny.
Her attitude toward victory and defeat is so detached, neither Kong Xiangming's encouragement and trust for the leader Nie Weiping, nor Zhang Xuan's care and burden reduction for another generation of leading figures, it is completely arbitrary, there is no increase in burden, it feels very good.
Luo Xiehe is also very accurate in his positioning, there is no intention to achieve any set goals, there is no heavy sense of mission, playing the results is a surprise, can not play the results is the duty, quite in line with the Luo Xiehe people.
Of course, there is no motivation without pressure, this is the same eternal truth, the same is six years old, Cho Ji-hoon from South Korea to Japan, he holds the idea that celebrities who are not on the Japanese Go will not go back, the pressure is great. It is common to shed tears on the spot after losing chess.
In contrast, although Luo Xiehe also left his hometown when he was six years old, the pressure was obviously insufficient. And Luo Xihe's strength in dealing with victory and defeat is compared with Zhao Zhixun, which is enough to have no heart and no lungs, huh.
The Roche River Family Walks the Red Carpet (2020)
There are many people who are very concerned about The Lotus River, saying that after so many years, how has the Lotus River been after getting married? Report everyone a good news, Rochehe a few years ago has been happy to have a noble son.
In 2020, the couple also took their son to walk the red carpet, as evidenced by photos.
The last thing I want to say is: everyone has everyone's marriage, everyone has everyone's happiness,
Even if you are an ordinary person, or a celebrity, you are no exception.
