Gentle gentleman, full of smiles, this is most people's impression of The head coach of the Shandong Jingzhi Wine Industry Go Team, Cao Dayuan Jiudan, known as the Weitan Xiao Zhuge Ge.
Gentle and kind to the world, Cao Da, who was attacked and killed by a son on the chessboard, used a "gentle knife" to subdue the enemy. In addition to the chessboard, Cao Dayuan is also the leader of the Shandong Go cause. For more than ten years, he has deeply cultivated the land of Qilu and sowed the seeds of Go, and Shandong Weiqi can have the development of today, all thanks to Cao Gong and Gao Yi.
The Three Kingdoms Arena rose to fame again
On March 29, Cao Dayuan defeated Nie Weiping and won the second China-Japan-Korea Go Elders Championship. Seeing ma Xiaochun, Koichi Kobayashi, Noriki Ida and other heroes who galloped around the Sino-Japanese siege in the lineup of the Elders Tournament instantly brought people back to the unprecedented moment of the "Sino-Japanese Go Tournament". In 1987, on Christmas Eve, the third Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, 25-year-old Cao Dayuan lost to Japan's top chess player Hiroshi Yamagi in the face of the situation. After the game, he wandered the cold streets of Tokyo all night, but the Christmas tree full of festive atmosphere made his heart palpitate. For the next seven years, Cao Dayuan could not look at the Christmas tree, which became a pain in his heart.
The opportunity for revenge finally arrived at the ninth ring, and he took the initiative to ask for help, ranking third from the bottom, facing Hiroshi Kamiyama. This time, Cao Dayuan did not leave any more regrets for himself, and cleanly knocked Yamashiro out of the ring and took revenge with an arrow. Next, Cao Dayuan beat Satoshi Kataoka and Masao Kato in a row, making the ninth ring match a perfect ending. And this day happens to be December 24th, it is Christmas Eve again, and it is full of Christmas trees. Only this time, Dayuan's heart was happy, and the pain about the Christmas tree finally became history.
Because of the Sino-Japanese ring match, Cao Dayuan, known as one of the Nie Ma Cao Liu, also became the leading figure of Chinese Go in the 1980s. During that period, Go swept the north and south of the river, and the glory of the tattoo was as good as the women's volleyball team's victory. Cao Dayuan received letters from chess fans from all over the country almost every day, and even as long as the envelope had the words "Beijing, Cao Dayuan", he could receive it. The love of chess fans has also made Cao Da work harder and won a series of championships at home and abroad.
Deep ploughing Qilu bears fruit
Born in Shanghai, Cao Dayuan was one of the earliest Chinese Go players, and in addition to his fame in the Sino-Japanese ring, he won many national championships and world championships, and his career as an athlete was very brilliant. Cao Dayuan is still active after retiring, and in 2003 he took the Fujian Provincial Go team to qilu dadi.
At that time, there was no Go atmosphere in Qilu, and with confidence in Go and Shandong, Cao Dayuan and Liu Wei, a sports journalist, founded Shandong's first professional chess club---- Qilu Evening News Go Club, began the pioneering road of Shandong Go, and formed a Shandong Go team to compete in the national first division.
From the moment this club was born, it was destined to be different: the first media-run Go club in China, the first joint-stock Go club in the country, the only provincial sports team in Shandong without administrative appropriations and financial support, the first club in Qilu Dadi to have professional chess players...
15 years of time is fleeting, under the leadership of Cao Dayuan,
Shandong Go has had two teams compete in the National League A, which has also become a unique history in the national Weiqu. In 2010, Shandong Go team won the national first division championship, and the second team of Shandong Weiqi also successfully relegated in the first division circle, and Shandong professional Go achieved a leap in quality and quantity.
In 2011, Cao Da led the Shandong Go team to win the heaviest professional group and individual gold medals at the National Intellectual Games, once again proving the accumulation of Shandong professional Go. Two years later, the club has cultivated zhou ruiyang, Jiang Weijie and Fan Tingyu, three post-90s world champions, making the Shandong Weiqi team the team with the most world champions in the national weiqu. The Shandong team's cultivation of reserve forces is also sparing no effort, giving birth to a stubble potential chess player and a star of hope. And all these achievements, Cao Dayuan is the greatest. Shandong Go really wants to thank this "pioneer".
Sow the seeds of fire to illuminate future generations
Having been to the home game of the Shandong team, I know that Cao Lao's contribution to Shandong Go is not only technical guidance. Lu Jun has always been known for its successful home operation, and in the course of more than ten years of conquest, the footprints of the Shandong team have traveled to every place in the land of Qilu, just to better promote Go. Whenever Lu Jun plays the main game, what the Shandong team must do is cao Dayuan personally explain and guide the children, and lead the world champion disciples to communicate with local chess fans. And every time Cao Lao is smiling, never tired, in-depth and simple teaching chess children the most basic Knowledge of Go, and talk with tutors and parents.
"The biggest gain I have brought to Go is to learn to think rationally, and playing chess will allow chess players to appreciate the beauty of the overall view. And the law of balance between the son and the son should not be limited to the chessboard, but also to all things. Cao Da said that the ideal development model of Go in his heart is to attract more people to participate, learning chess does not have to be for the purpose of occupation, not necessarily to worship "professional chess players", but to let Go highlight its powerful quality education function, and then affect a person or even a society.
It seems that the fire sown by Cao Lao is not limited to Go technology, but also has the concept of Go. He is also illuminated by not only the new seedlings in the chess world, but also the general public.
