There are many fathers, sons, couples, and brothers in the Go world, such as the famous Taisho Hane, Naoki Hagen father and son, Kobayashi Koichi, Kobayashi Izumi father and daughter, Chang Hao, Zhang Xuan and so on. Jiang Zhujiu is one of the most prominent, he and his wife Rui Naiwei are the only nine-dan couple in the world, at the same time, his brother Jiang Mingjiu is also a professional master, the two have also played against each other in the World Series, which is also the "only one in the world" so far.
Jiang Zhujiu is very familiar to everyone, the hero of the first Sino-Japanese ring competition, and the famous master of the Chinese chess world in the past. But today our protagonist is Jiang Mingjiu, as the big brother of the famous Go, Teacher Jiang Mingjiu has also written many brilliant chapters.
Jiang Mingjiu was born in 1957, a native of Jining, Shandong, who lived in Taiyuan as a teenager and later represented Shanxi in national competitions with remarkable results. In 1978, Jiang Mingjiu won the fifth place in the national individual competition, ranking among the first-class masters in China. In 1982, he won the sixth place in the national individual competition.
In 1978, He won 3 and lost 4 times during his visit to Japan, and in 1981 he defeated Kojima Takaho Kudan in the Japanese delegation's visit to China. In 1982, Jiang Mingjiu and his younger brother Jiang Zhujiu became members of the Chinese delegation to Japan, with his brother winning six victories and one defeat, and his younger brother winning seven battles. Rui Naiwei, who visited Japan together that year, also won seven battles.
Jiang Mingjiu went to the United States in 2000 to popularize Go, often representing North America in the World Series, but unfortunately he did not have good luck, always encountering Lee Sedol, Eda Kiki, Zhang Xu, Shi Yue, Park Yongxun, these world's top masters. In the seventh LG Cup in 2002, Jiang Mingjiu and Jiang Zhujiu played together in this tournament, the two drew together in the first round, and the "fratricide" between brothers was staged for the first time in the World Series.
