In the history of world Go, there are several outstanding chess players who have been "given" certain honorary titles because of their impressive achievements. For example, Wu Qingyuan was known as the "Showa Chess Sage" because of his undefeated juban chess; Nie Weiping was awarded the supreme glorious title of "Chess Saint" by the Chinese Weiqi Association because of his nine consecutive victories in the Sino-Japanese Ring Tournament for the Chinese team; Cao Xuanxuan was named "Emperor of Go" by the Korean media because of his achievements.
Wu Qingyuan has been a long time since the opening of the World Series, and we can't compare him with Nie Weiping, Cao Xuanxuan, Lee Chang-ho and other latecomers, otherwise it would be Guan Gongzhan Qin Qiong. But Cho Can compare with Nie Weiping because they are the same era junjie. In terms of their respective contributions to the National Go Community, Cao Xuanxuan and Nie Weiping are on a par with each other, both belong to the role of national heroes and the like, are the leading chess players who have created an era, and are all famous and famous people. But in terms of world series results, Nie Weiping sent Cao Xuanxuan to 18,000 miles. One is the grain harvest, and the other is the nine crowns.
But in terms of the number of world champions, compared to the apprentice Lee Chang-ho, the gap between Cho Hyun Hyun is not a little, Lee Chang-ho practiced the argument that blue is better than blue, with 17 world champions, smiling at the top of the world.

The question is, Nie Weiping and Cao Xuanxuan both have high-ranking hats such as "chess saints and emperors", so what top hats should Li Changhao wear? And what should Lee Sedol, who is the second oldest in the world championship list with 14 world championships, be called?
Born in 1976, Lee Chang-ho has a brilliant record in the World Series that no one can match, whether it is the predecessor chess players Cao Xuanxuan and Nie Weiping, who were born in the 1950s, or Ma Xiaochun and Liu Changhe in the 1960s, Chang Hao of the same era, Lee Sedol and Gu Li in the 1980s, Park Tinghuan, Ke Jie, Shin Jin-chan and others after the 1990s, except for Li Shishi's number of world crowns, which is not much different from him, other masters have been thrown several streets by him. But Lee Sedol was a big witch in the Three Kingdoms Ring, compared to Lee Chang-ho.
Li Changhao does not have any special hats, and the currently known titles are: "Stone Buddha", "Alien Chess Player", "Young Jiang Taigong", "Divine Operator", "Crocodile", etc., and the world chess world has his name "Lee Chang-ho Era". Compared with Nie Weiping and Cao Xuanxuan's big hats, these titles do not seem to match Lee Chang-ho's record, so what kind of title should the world Go community compensate for Lee Chang-ho?
Lee Chang-ho nine paragraphs
My opinion is that since Nie Weiping is a Chinese chess saint and Cao Xuanxuan is equivalent to a Korean chess saint, it is advisable to give lee chang-ho the big number of "world chess saints". It's just that I think about it carefully and find that it is not very realistic, for two reasons, one is that there is no such world Go organization with this authority, and it can be written with a big stroke. Second, even if the reward is sealed, it may also be a brain fever, if someone gets more world championships in the future, such as 18, or even more than 20, then what "chess saint" should be sealed? Is it called "World Chess Saint" and "Super Chess Saint"? Haha, don't you feel very awkward!
In fact, Lee Chang-ho has the titles of "the world's first person" and "the first person in the world's majors", and he is satisfied. The latter, in particular, is more appropriate, and he can enjoy it with peace of mind. As for the "second person in the World Series" above Lee Sedol's head, it is also a super honor above ten thousand people under one person. If in the future, if any of the world's best masters surpass them in the World Series, it is easy to change it, so that The big and small Li can be reduced to "the second person in the World Series" and "the third person in the World Series" respectively.
All in all, the gifts of the masters of the Go world should still be careful and cautious, and do not put on the supreme name of others without moving, otherwise they may make others laugh coldly or be laughed at by posterity.
