The status of Lee Chang-ho, the world's first Go player, I am afraid that few people will doubt, in addition to the 17 world championships in his career at the top of the list, he also holds the record for the youngest world champion. In order to more intuitively understand Lee Chang-ho's superior chess skills, we use numbers to speak. Look at his peak, what is the winning rate of the game against the top masters of China, Japan and South Korea? Is it comparable, or is it completely crushed?
The first selection of the chess game was the peak of Lee Chang-ho, starting in 1992, when he won the world championship for the first time, and ending in 2005, when he reached the top of the world championship for the last time. Second, he identified his opponents, the top masters of China, Japan and South Korea at that time, namely Zhao Zhixun, Kobayashi Koichi, Lin Haifeng, Masao Kato, Masaki Takemiya, Noriki Ieda, and Wang Licheng, six of South Korea's Cho Kao-hyun, Liu Chang-hyuk, Seo Bong-so, Lee Se-seok, Park Yong-hoon, and Choi Chul-han, and Five of China's Ma Xiaochun, Nie Weiping, Chang Hao, Gu Li, and Kong Jie. It should be noted that between 1992 and 2005, when the above 21 masters and Lee Chang-ho played against each other, if they were obviously not in the peak period, I also excluded these games, that is to say, when the two sides fought, they were basically at the peak of their chess strength, so the conditions for such a comparison were equal and more convincing.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Chang-ho

Lee Chang-ho, Cho Hyun-hyun, Lee Sedol and others raised a glass of mutual respect
Finally, a few points of analysis:
First, the winning rate of Chinese masters is particularly high, almost crushing level. The main reason is that Ma Xiaochun and Chang Hao have an imbalance of mentality after consecutive defeats, and they are eager to pull the cost, and the more they want to win, the more they lose, and the so-called desire for speed is not reached.
Second, the number of matches is more than 10 innings, and Lee Chang-ho only has a record of less than 50% against Choi Chul-han.
Third, Li Changhao's winning rate against Ma Xiaochun, Chang Hao, Wugong Masaki, Zhao Zhixun, Wang Licheng, Xu Fengsu and other six masters all exceeded 75%, which was a very terrible winning rate. In particular, Ma Xiaochun and Chang Hao were completely suppressed by him in the World Series, so they had the feeling of being born yu He Shengliang.
Fourth, Lee Chang-ho's record against the chaotic war-loving masters such as Choi Chul-han, Yi Tian Ki, Lee Sedol, Gu Li, etc. is not particularly outstanding. In addition, he played 10 games against the first woman, Rui Yiwei (who also liked to fight on the chessboard), between 1992 and 2007, with a half-win or a half. It seems that shi Buddha was also scared when he encountered the "outlaws" in the game, and had to give in.
Big data shows that in the era of Lee Chang-ho, almost all the top masters in China, Japan and South Korea have learned his power, and his status as the world's first person is irrefutable and unshakable.
