Jiang Zhujiu has two identities, the national hero of five consecutive victories in the ring, and the husband of Rui Naiwei.
This label followed him closely for a long time.
Jiang Zhujiu, his typical northern hanzi, big sideburns, beard, coupled with a fierce chess style, sometimes a little unreasonable on the chessboard, especially the first time against Kobayashi Jue and Kataoka Satoshi, the former was slaughtered by him in a straight line, the latter was killed by him in his own circle of influence.
The Japanese call him a Go samurai.
Jiang Zhujiu
In the mid-1980s, he and a group of young people of similar age lived in the humble dormitories of the national Go team, in harsh conditions, like cultivation, and they were deliberately pursuing "one hand of God".
In the documentary "Go", Nie Weiping once said emotionally: "At that time, I didn't know anyone, every day was chess? For two years, it was like this. ”
Why didn't Jiang Zhujiu spend many days and nights like this?
Among his many teammates, he was ten years younger than Nie Weiping, four years younger than Shao Zhen, two years younger than Liu Xiaoguang, half a year younger than Cao Dayuan, two years older than Ma Xiaochun, one year greater than Rui Nai, and four years older than Qian Yuping.
In 1982, Jiang Zhujiu was designated as a five-dan chess player, which meant that he became a high-dan chess player.

In 1984, in the first Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, Jiang Zhujiu ranked second. Exactly what I said:
Ten years of hard work and no one asked, once famous the world knows.
To almost everyone's surprise, Ezoku defeated Kiki Ieda, Kyaw Kobayashi, Shuzo Awaji, Satoshi Kataoka and Akira Ishida in a five-game winning streak, a five-game winning streak that not only broke pre-match expectations in the Japanese chess world, but also stunned and caused a sensation among all pre-match prophets.
This result is no less than that of Shen Zhenchen in 2021 by defeating Tang Weixing, Yuta Iyama, Yang Dingxin, Yili Liao and Ke Jie.
In the eyes of the Chinese Go community, this achievement is also an inevitability of chance. Because big data shows that from 1980 to 1986, he played thirty-four games against Japanese players, won twenty-eight rounds, and the winning rate was as high as 82.3%, which is estimated to be similar to playing if placed in the world arena and entering the final four of the World Series.
But in fact, the best result of Ezhujiu's world championship was only the top 8 of the first YingShi Cup, when he defeated the first Fujitsu Cup champion Masaki Takemiya.
In the Three Gorges incident of the Yangtze River, when Rui Naiwei felt that his career had hit the rocks, Rui Naiwei defeated Jiki Iida 2:1 in a chess match, and Jiang Zhujiu won a round in which Masao Kato, the head of the Japanese Go delegation, played a round of nine paragraphs, all in 1987.
In the same year, Jiang Zhujiu and Qian Yuping were promoted to nine dans in the Chinese Go promotion tournament.
It can be said that from 1984 to 1988, it was not only the golden age of Nie Weiping, but also the golden age of Jiang Zhujiu and Rui Naiwei, who later became husband and wife.
The two later became the world's only eighteen-dan couple, in 1992.

Although Jiang Zhujiu was born in Shandong, he grew up in Taiyuan, Shanxi.
His grandfather Jiang Runjia made a living practicing medicine, hanging pots and making a fortune, and he also loved Go all his life. He is keen to study the ancient chinese go score, and is keen on this way, widely knotted chess, Shanxi Taiyuan's Go seeds are like this, Shanxi's Development of Go is even inextricably linked to Jiang Shenyi.
I found an interesting phenomenon, you see Wu Qingyuan's father can play chess, Wugong Masaki's father is his enlightenment teacher, Zhou Ruiyang's father, Ke Jie's father are also Go enthusiasts, some even open a chess hall to make a living, which shows that the influence of family affection is huge, words and deeds, ear to ear, naturally learn to play chess.
Jiang Zhujiu also learned Tokiji in a good family environment, and he couldn't get any money. At the age of 12, he participated in the Eleven Provinces and Cities Children's Go Tournament held in Zhengzhou and won the children's championship in one fell swoop. In the next national Go tournament held in Chengdu, Jiang Zhujiu and his brother Jiang Mingjiu fought side by side and won the gold medal in the junior group.
Later, Jiang Zhujiu also won the sports medal of honor issued by the state.
Jiang Shen Doctor had a knot in his mind that could not be opened for a long time, and he hoped that his children and grandchildren would complete it for him.
It is said that he once lost to a Japanese amateur chess player, and lost very badly, when Jiang Shen doctor made a grand wish, hoping that the two brothers Jiang Mingjiu and Jiang Zhujiu would be able to defeat the Japanese Go master in the future and avenge him with an arrow, of course, this willingness rose to a certain height to win glory for the country and add color to the nation. If you like this version, well.
Marshal Chen Yi has long said that the country is prosperous and the chess is prosperous. This is an immutable truth, the country is weak, and the chess luck is naturally not prosperous. Jiang Shenkong has a warm blood, but it is a pity that the national fortune is not lost.
Jiang Zhujiu is practicing calligraphy
Jiang Zhujiu, who entered the national team, became famous after the first ring match, and in 1987, he and Shao Zhen were given the opportunity to visit the United States, and he also had contact with the American Go Association, and he has been actively operating the matter of studying in the United States privately.
Later, it happened that Jiang Zhujiu went to the United States for a long time and did not return, and he needed to be punished if he violated the team rules of the national Go team, how to punish?
You think that Rui Naiwei, who violated the team rules and went privately to the foreign chess player's room, was deprived of the qualification to participate in the new sports cup given the sexual "misconduct point".
Jiang Zhujiu in 1988 he won the first Ying Cup of the eight finals, according to Mr. Ying Changqi's expectations, the top eight is a seeded chess player, should be qualified to qualify, Ying Group directly issued an invitation letter to him, but the organizer of the second Ying Cup is the China Weiqi Association, the Chinese Weiqi community's opinion is very clear, against the two invited to participate. For example, Nie Weiping, head of the Chinese Go coaching team, believes that violating team rules is punishable.
Because Rui Naiwei and Jiang Zhujiu are both registered players of the Chinese Weiqi Association, they are all at fault, and as for where the mistake is, the organization is not clear and the language is unclear. In short, you cannot accept an invitation separately from the organization.
Feedback was given to Ying Changqi, whose face became ugly. Invitations have been sent, is this to break my word?
Jiang Zhujiu wrote a translator for Masaki Takemiya
This matter was not clear, and later alarmed Nian Weisi, secretary of the party committee of the China Chess Academy, as well as Wang Runan, vice chairman of the China Weiqi Association, Mr. Shen Junshan of Taiwan, and Hao Keqiang, liu Siming, and Cao Zhilin, editors of the New Sports Magazine, who also tried to mediate between them.
So both sides took a step back, rui Naiwei is the world's only female nine-dan chess player, can be invited to participate, not to occupy the Chinese quota.
And Jiang Zhujiu can not participate directly, he personally wants to participate, need to return to China to participate in the team selection.
As a result, there was still no negotiation, and the Chinese Weiqi Association decided to withdraw from the second Ying's Cup, which was criticized by the majority of chess friends for a long time.
For the Ying Group, on the contrary, it was relieved, and Jiang Zhujiu and Rui Naiwei both participated in the second Ying's Cup as special invited chess players. Later, Jiang Zhujiu and Rui Naiwei both ran away and became guest chess players in the Korean Chess Academy.
Jiang Zhujiu debuted in 1984 and was at the peak, he lost consecutively to Kobayashi Kyaw, Yamashiro Hiroshi, and Jiki Itada in the next few ring matches, basically replacing the popularity he had accumulated with character, and basically returned it in four or five years.
Jiang Zhujiu has been in the chess world for many years, leaving a strong mark in the Chinese Go world, such as he once won the challenge right of Tianyuan War. It also left a heavy mark in the Korean chess world. For example, in the final of the 3rd Korean Mai Xin Cup in 2003, Jiang Zhujiu and Rui Naiwei staged the final of the trifecta, and Jiang Zhujiu won the championship. In the final of the fourth Mai Xin Cup, Rui Naiwei defeated Liu Changhe 2-1 to win the championship.
Now Rui Naiwei and Jiang Zhujiu have returned to China for many years, but the story they left for the world chess world should not be forgotten.
