After the defeat of the Samsung Cup, the Chinese Weiqi Association could no longer sit still. In the final of this year's World Series, China only relied on Mi Yuting to win the fourth Dream Lily Cup, while South Korea won the 25th LG Cup (Shin Min-ku), the 22nd Nongshim Cup (Shin Jin-chan five consecutive wins), the 13th Chunlan Cup (Shin Jin-chan), and the 26th Samsung Cup (Park Shin Showdown). The 1-4 draw between China and South Korea was a rare rout since 2013.
In addition to being angry, there is also a hint of joy, that is, the day after the Chinese Two Chinese Generals lost the Samsung Cup semi-finals, the Chinese Weiqi Association launched a plan for the reform of the national Go team with full of dry goods and extraordinary strength - "On Strengthening the Management of the National Go Team and Effectively Improving the Training Level".
The fifth point of this plan is about the relevant content of the national team coaching team, which I copied in its entirety as follows: Fifth, expand the strength of the coaching team of the national Go team and do a good job in ensuring the coaching team. In view of the fact that the current personnel establishment of the coaching team of the national Go team is in the chess and card sports management center of the State General Administration of Sport, it is directly arranged by the Chinese Weiqi Association and considered as a whole, and a number of well-known chess players with in-depth research ability, sharp thinking, and excellent results in the world competition are selected to join the coaching team. Establish a bonus incentive system, change the status quo of non-Olympic coaches not participating in the rewards, never use the past method of distributing athletes' bonuses, and effectively solve the long-term problem of low income of coaches and management guarantee personnel of the national Go team.
Sheikh Nine Paragraphs
It should be said that Go is a personal sport after all, and the quality of the World Series record is mainly related to the talent, concentration, diligence, luck, psychological state and other factors of the individual top players of the national team, such as Lee Chang-ho, Lee Sedol and other big chess players, who are undistracted, extremely focused and hardworking. Of course, coaches' guidance and tips in daily training, AI study, opponent research, pre-match preparation, psychological adjustment, etc., are sometimes indispensable, because the authorities are obsessed with bystanders.
For the recent world series of very low results, does the coaching staff of the Chinese national Go team have an unshirkable responsibility? Let's take a look at what chess fans have to say:
My old friend's "shielding doesn't matter if it's shielding" is that changing soup does not change medicine, it is a formality. If you really want to change it, change it a little bigger. The general can retire, the fish head can hang a teaching head or consultant vacant post, let the young and powerful, can do things as the head of the teaching, Gu Dali is good.
The leader of a prefecture-level city Go association, "Bo'er only Jin Yusheng", said bluntly: The coaching team should be adjusted, it has been too long, there is no feeling.
The opinion of netizens "Mood 68325" is: I think we should ask Teacher Rui Naiwei to be a coach and let them see how focused the role model is, Rui Lao is an old chess player in the 80s!
Head Coach Yu Bin
Netizen "Wulu forgets worries" left a message after my article yesterday: The leaders and coaching team of the chess academy must first reflect on their own lack of management!
My personal opinion is that since it is a great rout, someone must come out and take responsibility. Should Ke Jie, Yang Dingxin and other countries be allowed to review their hands, or should the big leaders of the Chinese Weiqi Association come forward to admit their mistakes? I thought it wasn't quite appropriate. The national football team lost the World Preliminary Tournament, and the final resignation was still the head coach, not the president of the Football Association and the leadership of the General Administration of Sports, so the coaching staff of the Chinese Go national team should bear the corresponding responsibilities.
To be honest, the head coach of the national Go team is not a very rare throne that everyone wants to compete for, but on the contrary, in a way, a thankless position. When we were crushed by Japan and South Korea in the 1990s, who was the head coach? The famous ring hero Nie Wei PingQi Sheng is also! Since taking over from Ma Xiaochun in 2009, the current head coach Yu Bin has taken a number of reform measures and achieved good results. Especially since 2013, Chinese Go has become the leading goose in the world chess world, and the coaching team headed by Yu Bin has made an indispensable contribution. But to put it mildly, these achievements are mainly based on the excellent performance of top masters such as Gu Li, Kong Jie, Chen Yaoye, Tang Weixing, Shi Yue, Fan Tingyu, and Ke Jie.
Spending too much time in the same position I don't think is a good thing. Fixed thinking patterns and long-term work models are difficult to keep pace with the times and innovate, and it will naturally appear when encountered and not thinking of making progress. Therefore, some friends advocate that Gu Li, the eight-time champion who has retreated to the second line, and Chen Yaoye, who is about to quit the first line, will take on the role of head coach, and I think it is not impossible.
Eight-time champion Guli
But after carefully studying the chinese Weiqi Association's latest proposal for the change of the coaching staff (I have copied it verbatim before), I found that the top leadership of the Chinese Weiqi Association had no such intentions. Interpreting the above content, the main meaning revealed between the lines is three: 1. Expand the members of the coaching team of the national Go team. 2. Select a number of well-known chess players with in-depth research ability, sharp thinking, and excellent results in the world competition to join the coaching team. 3. Establish a bonus incentive system to solve the problem of low income of coaches and management guarantee personnel of the national Go team.
The next question is, which well-known players who have achieved excellent results in the World Series will join the national team coaching staff? According to the literal meaning of the plan, among the retired masters, I estimate that the eight-time champion Gu Li, the triple crown king Kong Jie, and the Sheikh are more likely to be selected, and the other half-retired Chen Yaoye is also likely to enter the game. As for the triple crown champion Chang Hao, because he is already the vice chairman of the Chinese Weiqi Association, it is completely feasible to serve as an adviser to the national team.
After the decline of Chinese Go, it is imperative to reform the coaching staff of the national Go team. Do you think it is to let head coach Yu Bin resign, or to add new blood to the coaching staff?
I would like to invite enthusiastic Go lovers to express their opinions!
