In 1984, the first quarter of the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament began. Japan sent out quite strong masters. Among them, there is Hideyuki Fujisawa, a nine-dan master known as the "first in the world in the first fifty steps", as the manager. Masao Kato, also the nine-dan master who was also the deputy commander, followed by koichi Kobayashi, Akira Ishida, Satoshi Kataoka, and Shuzo Awaji. Next up are Kobayashi Kyaw in the eight dan and Kiki Iida in the fifth dan. The Chinese team is composed of coach Nie Weiping, nine-dan masters Ma Xiaochun, Cao Dayuan and Liu Xiaoguang, followed by Shao Zhenzhong in the eighth dan, Qian Yuping in the seventh dan, Jiang Zhujiu in the sixth dan and Wang Jianhong in the sixth dan.
Wang Jianhong
China's first appearance was wang Jianhong, a 21-year-old. Wang's opponent is Noriki Iida of The Japanese Godan. As a young player of the Chinese team, Wang Jianhong had not participated in such an international competition at that time, and when she first came to the competition, she was a little nervous. In the game, when the Japanese player Kiki Iida swung to the sixth hand, he took the sword to the side, unusually, using the rare three high clamps. This made Wang Jianhong, a young Player in China, unable to cope, because although Wang Jianhong had previously pondered many of the games that Yi Tian had played before, he had never seen this move.
Sure enough, after playing a few steps of chess, Wang Jianhong made some mistakes. At this moment, Wang Jianhong's heart was extremely nervous, and he suddenly felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his face, and suddenly he squirted nosebleeds, and nosebleeds sprayed everywhere. As a result, the game was won by the Japanese side.
Then the desperate Sanlang Jiang Zhujiu who appeared lived up to expectations and picked five Japanese masters in a row. In the face of the Japanese team's successive fiasco, Hideyuki Fujisawa, Masao Kato and Koichi Kobayashi told the Japanese media that if they could not achieve a final victory, they would cut their hair to thank the people.
Kobayashi Hikari, who then appeared, was indeed good, defeating Chinese chess players one after another, but eventually lost to Nie Weiping's hands. Later, Nie Weiping easily defeated Masao Kato. At this time, only coach Hideyuki Fujisawa was left in Japan. Before the match with Nie Weiping, he said humorously, "My hair has fallen in half, I came out of the house, I have agreed with the barber, please ask him to prepare the best razor for me." In the end, he still lost at the hands of Nie Weiping.
I have to say that this time the Sino-Japanese Go tournament is also quite intense. As a young player, Wang Jianhong was also tempered in this competition. In the following ten years of training, by leaps and bounds, in 1996, the thirty-three-year-old Wang Jianhong had been promoted to jiudan.
