As we all know, Lee Sedol is another generation of new kings of Go after Lee Chang-ho, of course, this is not what I sealed, nor which institution sealed it, in the world of Go, strength determines everything.
Lee Sedol won his 14th world championship in the 2012 Samsung Cup final, but this was the last world championship of his career.
Lee Sedol
In 2013, China's new six super leagues rose strongly, and Shi Yue, Fan Tingyu and others successively became the new kings of Go after Li Shishi.
On June 20, 2013, Chen Yaoye defeated Lee Sedol 2:1 to win the 9th Chunlan Cup.
On December 11, 2013, Tang Weixing defeated Lee Sedol 2:0 to win the 18th Samsung Cup.
Lee Sedol was defeated.
In January 2016, Lee Sedol made his last appearance in the final of the World Series, and lost 2:3 to China's new King Ke Jie, and the legend came to an end.
Ironically, when Lee Sedol and Gu Li played Juban chess in 2014, the peak period had passed. After eight rounds of competition, Lee Sedol won 6:2 and won the 5 million yuan prize provided by Ni Zhanggen.
In 2016, when Lee Sedol and Afa Dog launched the first season of the man-machine war (Lee Sedol lost 1:4), he was not the strongest chess player of humanity at that time, and it was not three years before he retired.
Yu Zhiying
Lee Sedol is a representative figure of Korean Go, but korean Go has been criticized since it was played, the first of which is China's famous chess saint Nie Weiping, who simply can't look at the layout of Koreans, including Lee Chang-ho's chess.
Lee Chang-ho's layout is average, sometimes he would rather suffer a slight loss than lengthen the front, and his strength is in the middle and second half of the set.
And the stunt that Lee Sedol is famous for is zombie streaming.
Chinese beauty chess player Yu Zhiying does not have the concept of zombie flow, if she looks at Lee Sedol's chess sheet, she may not easily lose a game against Wang Chenxing.
Appendix 1:
Yu Zhiying held the black, Wang Chenxing held the white, when the white 196 strong ate a piece of black chess △ zi, Yu Zhiying chose to concede defeat. If Li Shishi is a black chess piece, with his concept of zombie flow, the white chess piece goes to the first hand of the A position, which is reassuring, otherwise the white fork fork piece is a dead or alive problem, that is to say, the white chess piece goes to the A position, and the black chess piece will take the robbery as a struggle and stubbornly resist to the end.
The AI's winning percentage of black chess at this time is also as high as 54%, so Lee Sedol's zombie flow is established.
On June 30, 2002, the fifth China-Korea Rookie King Match was played in the first set in South Korea, and after 253 hand competitions, South Korea's "Rookie King" Lee Sedol Defeated China's Peng Tsuen Si dan with 4 1/2 eyes to lead 1-0.
At that time, Lee Sedol was only 19 years old, but he was already a world champion.
Appendix 2:
The fifth Sino-Korean newcomer king confrontation, Peng Quan (black) vs Lee Shi-seok (white), the upper right corner of the black chess has a life-and-death crisis, but Peng Quan is unaware, Lee Sedol 190 foolish suicide magic hand out, Peng Quan was shocked, black A ti, white chess on 190 points to kill, black B to play, black chess is still stubborn resistance. A little imagination is needed here, Li Shishi noticed, Peng Quan completely ignored, between one gain and one loss, the sense of victory and defeat is stronger or weaker, and the judgment is made.
Time to go
After watching the above two examples, many people have some perceptual understanding of Lee Sedol's zombie flow. The scary thing about zombie streams is that if you don't realize the potential risks, then zombie streams will swallow you up like a lurking crocodile, leaving you with nightmare memories.
This kind of memory, the more time there is.
Shi Yue is actually a neglected chess player who inherits the past and the future, Chang Hao, after Gu Li, not to Ke Jie with a pole, the middle should sometimes be more than a place, but although Shi Yue is the first person in the world for one to two years, he has been in a crown group for a long time, so that no one can remember his exploits.
If you want to wear a crown, you will bear its weight. In 2012, it was the eve of the reign of King Shiyue.
On March 3, 2012, the first round of the 4th BC Karben Tournament in Seoul, that is, the Round of 64, Lee Sedol had an encounter with Shi Yue, and Lee Sedol's zombie flow in this game was a classic.
Shi Yue's black chess game advantage is very large, even if Li Shishi is placed in the upper right corner, if the official goes well, Li Shishi will have no chance. But Shi Yue deviated from Lee Sedol's path.
Appendix 3:
The 4th BC Credit Card Cup Round of 64 was played in Seoul on March 3, 2012. When Lee Sedol holds the white VS, the more he holds the black, the more the black 1 (213 hands in actual combat) did not realize Li Shishi's combat ideas, and when the black 3 was played, he found that the white chess pieces could not stick, and the net live chess pieces were made into desperate means of robbing the life. This game can be described as the embodiment of the true meaning of the zombie flow, the more the time is unfavorable, after the concession, it was successfully overturned by Lee Sedol.
Lee Sedol and Lee Chang-ho
In 2012, Shi Yue was 19 years old, Lee Sedol was 29 years old, and 29-year-old Lee Sedol actually played with his heart beating.
That's what the pinnacle of zombie streams is.
December 13, 2012. Lee Sedol beat Gu Li 2:1 to win his 14th World Championship trophy.
On February 20, 2013, the 20-year-old Shi Yue defeated Yuan Shengqin 2:0 and crowned the LG Cup. That moment was an important watershed in Lee Sedol's career.
Lee Sedol and Ke Jie
After Shi Yue, Ke Jie appeared, when the Chinese media called Ke Jie a rank killer, because winning his rank score almost did not increase, losing to him, the grade score will plummet. After Ke Jie emerged in the world chess world, the South Korean media exclaimed that there was a "monster" in the Chinese Go world.
Ke Jie is Lee Sedol's nightmare, Lee Sedol's winning rate against Ke Jie is dismal, and a commemorative match between the two people in March 2019 gave birth to Lee Sedol's idea of retiring.
Appendix IV:
Trinity Commemorative Match. Lee Sedol Black, Ke Jie, 1-40 hands, actual combat score. Played at the Korea Chess Academy on March 6, 2019. Ke Jie's 28 to 34, tricks and AI secretly combined, Ke Jie is already the strength of "half man, half dog".
The AI judged that Lee Sedol lost almost half a hand in the next battle.
In the past, however, under the layout, Li Shishi could also rely on the zombie stream to perform a strange flip, but now, from the layout to the middle game, he was crushed by the opponent's strength, and he was 14 years older than the other party.
Just give up. Lee Se-seok became famous, and he walked very directly.
Nie Weiping no longer had to point out the country for others
Nine months after playing chess with Ke Jie, Lee Sedol announced his retirement.
On November 19, 2019, according to the news from the Korean Chess Academy, the legendary Korean chess player, 36-year-old Lee Sedol Jiudan officially submitted a professional chess player resignation letter to the Korean Chess Academy, ending a 24-year professional chess player career.
A brief review of Lee Sedol's legendary experience: Lee Sedol debuted at the age of 12 and retired at the age of 36, and dug into AlphGo.
Since then, the zombie stream has retreated into the rivers and lakes. Only because his zombie stream has reached the end of the road.
