Lee Chang-ho's nine-dan daimyō has long been thunderous, and there are countless stories about him, and he can dominate the throne of the world's first go player for ten consecutive years, which is itself an immortal artistic legend.
Born in 1975, Lee Chang-ho was introduced to Go from his grandfather at the age of 8 and became interested in it. His rapid progress at a young age made his family begin to pay attention to this matter. In the same year, the family sent Lee Chang-ho to worship the professional Rokudan Yongshan as a teacher, and entered the Korean Chess Academy as a student.
At that time, there was also a student named Liu Shixuan, who was older than Li Changhao and had higher chess skills than Li, and the two became very good friends. In the training tournament held within the chess academy, Lee Chang-ho and Liu Shixun fought each other many times, winning and losing each other. However, Lee Chang-ho's genius soon showed, and his achievements improved by leaps and bounds, becoming the head of the academy students in more than a year, and Liu Shixun also became his defeated general.
Yanagi shifu we all know, and later developed in Japan, under the tutelage of Yusuke Oede Kudan. After continuous efforts, he has also become a generation of masters, once winning the Tianyuan laurels one or two times in a row against Lin Haifeng and Kobayashi Hikari, and also defeated Wang Licheng to win the throne championship. Later, Lee Chang-ho went to Japan to play, and he and Yoo Shi-chi were very happy to see each other, holding hands and chatting, which surprised the unsuspecting chess players.
For Lee Chang-ho, Liu Shifu once had a memory, he said that Lee Chang-ho was very lively when he was a child, and he was also very active when playing chess, but now he is so taciturn and taciturn, the change is too big. Li Changhao's chess style has not changed much, he has not gone through the excessive moves since he was a child, it is easy to walk into thin chess, and he likes to win with officials. It was too difficult to see the chess game that Lee Chang-ho lost as soon as he played.
Of course, everyone knows that the biggest influence on Lee Chang-ho's Go career was his second teacher, Cho Hyun Hyun Kudan. When Lee Chang-ho was 9 years old, he became an inner disciple with his teacher Cao Xuanxuan, worked hard, became a famous teacher and apprentice, and grew up interactively. Beginning in 1988, Lee Chang-ho repeatedly stormed the established order of the Korean chess world, and soon pulled down the "second eldest" Seo Bong-so Jiudan and qualified to compete with his master Cho Hyun-hyun. In 1990, at the age of 14, Lee Chang-ho won 41 consecutive chess tournaments in South Korea, including winning three titles over his master. Since then, the Korean chess world has entered the lee chang-ho era.
When it comes to the secret of Lee Chang-ho's power, we cannot but talk about his two main characteristics. One is fast and magical computing power. Cao Xuanxuan had noticed that when Lee Chang-ho was still an inner disciple, he already had amazing calculation power, and even the victory or defeat of a one-eyed chess piece could be accurately judged. As he grew older and more experienced, Lee Chang-ho became more and more discerning, and when there were many changes in the mid-market stage, he could firmly grasp the situation through precise calculations, making it difficult for opponents to turn over. If the famous Japanese chess player Yoshio Ishida Jiudan has a nickname called "electronic computer", then Lee Chang-ho's nickname is called "Divine Calculation". Electronic computers also have times when they fail, but God does not calculate, and has God-like accuracy.
The second is amazing endurance. Lee Chang-ho is a teenager and an old man, and he always has an expression when playing chess, so that people can't grasp his joys and sorrows at all. After a long time, he won famous nicknames such as "Young Jiang Taigong" and "Stone Buddha". Lee Chang-ho's concentration is outstanding, from the beginning of the layout can withstand all kinds of temptations, not moved by the provocation of the opponent, each move can play a high efficiency, step by step in the direction of victory.
The famous Japanese super-first-class chess player Zhao Zhixun Jiudan has been crowned king in China several times, and he is also the first chess player in history to win the championship of all seven chess tournaments, and he has suffered enough under Lee Chang-ho. In the two Toyo Securities Cup three-game games in 1993 and 1996, Cho Ji-hoon lost to Lee Chang-ho and won only one of the five sets. After losing, Zhao Zhixun was quite helpless and laughed at himself: "I can't win this child, and you all think about it!" ”
