The 108 generals of the Water Margin were composed of thirty-six members of the Tiangang Star and seventy-two members of the Earth Fire Star, and the first five leading people were Hu Baoyi Song Jiang, Yu Qilin Lu Junyi, Zhi Duo Xing Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng of the Yunlong Dragon, and Guan Sheng of the Great Dao. This ranking is mainly based on positions and martial arts, because it is a novel, and it is not much controversy. Everyone is familiar with this, and some enthusiasts even like to talk about it after tea and dinner.
The world of Go is surging and there are many masters, how to rank the top 108 list like the Heroes of the Water Margin? What selection criteria to adopt, and from what time period, these are difficult to reconcile. Therefore, when I revealed that I wanted to introduce this ranking list, some friends advised me not to bother, so as not to criticize; but more friends supported me, and even helped me draft a list of thirty-six generals of tiangangxing. In addition to thanking these kind friends, I decided to reluctantly release my own 108 version.
After collecting information and carefully studying, I determined the selection criteria of the 108 generals: mainly the 104 masters who entered the final four after the founding of the 1988 World Series, supplemented by four Chinese, Japanese and Korean chess players, to form the 108 general lineup. This standard is relatively rigid, resulting in less controversy, and the objection is mainly the ranking of chess players, rather than the problem of selection.
Of course, this standard also has regrets, that is, the top masters who led the Japanese Go era with Showa chess saint Wu Qingyuan, Kitani Shikudan, sakata Eiko Kudan and so on could not be shortlisted. In view of the fact that there was no World Series at that time, although Japan's level was the first in the world, after all, it was a domestic competition in Japan, and it was difficult to arrange the seats, so I could only endure the pain of cutting love.

Lee Dong-hoon
Korea's leading chess player
There are several aspects that need to be explained: First, the ranking is not exactly in accordance with the results of the World Individual Competition, but also in combination with the results of the team competition, the results of the Asian Cup Fast Chess Tournament, and whether it is a country's leader and the real talent of the chess players. For this reason, the positions of Zhao Zhixun, Wugong Zhengshu, Nie Weiping, Ma Xiaochun, Shen Zhenchen, and others were advanced. After nie weiping, the hero of the ring, can not be relegated to the chess player who has simply won one or two world championships, according to the world series of 4-5 consecutive wins to win the championship, Nie Weiping's 11 consecutive wins in the ring are completely worth two world championships, and its influence is much higher.
Nie Weiping and Ke Jie
Second, even though I have elevated the positions of Masao Kato and Hideyuki Fujisawa, I still can't match their actual level, which is due to their age, not participating in the World Series, and poor luck.
Third, I personally think that there is no big problem with the overall candidate, as for the specific ranking is still debatable, I look forward to friends to give more valuable advice, or put forward your own list.
Fourth, if you start from Wu Qingyuan and Mugushi, the creators of the new layout, it is more difficult, and then after I have thought it through, I will launch a new version.
Fifth, in the long river of history, the rank is not set in stone, Shen Zhenchen, Yang Dingxin, Gu Zihao, Bian Xiangyi, Shen Minyi, Xie Ke and other young talents may still be promoted, but it is not realistic to want to greatly improve, after all, I have already given him a promotion in advance for Shen Zhenchen, a top-notch figure.
Friends, please put forward your constructive suggestions so that I can continue to improve and improve.
