The 10th Fujitsu Cup Final Eight consisted of five Japanese and three Chinese, and the only "civil war" between players affiliated with the Japanese Chess Academy was fought between Zhao Zhixun and Wang Licheng.
In fact, these two are not Japanese chess players, Zhao Zhixun is Korean, Wang Licheng is Chinese, and they have achieved great success in the Japanese chess world. Zhao Zhixun is only 2 years older than Wang Licheng, but he became famous at a young age and became a first-class chess player early, and the two people feel that they are not even a generation. In the early stage of the two-person battle, Zhao Zhixun was absolutely skilled. In 1984, Zhao Zhixun and Wang Licheng, Yamashiro Hiroshi and Kobayashi Jue, three young and powerful young and powerful teams, played a special twelve-set lifting and relegation match, starting from the first point, winning two consecutive sets to rise to one pair. Zhao Zhixun once beat the three to the point of letting the two sons, and fought with Wang Licheng for four rounds, Zhao Zhixun won one game first, let the first one win and one loss, and let the two sons lose one game. The other two, Cho Ji-hoon won all four battles against Yamashiro Hiroshi (two wins first, let the first two wins), and one win and three losses against Kobayashi Jue (one win and one loss, let the first one lose, let the two sons lose one).
In Zhao Zhixun's first heyday, Wang Licheng could only look up. The Six Supers created the golden age of Japanese Go, but their super dominance and long reign also suppressed a large number of young players. Wang Licheng's personal performance in the confrontation with Zhao Zhixun has actually been good, but the overall record at that time was very different.
In the 4th Fujitsu Cup semi-final in 1991, the two met for the first time in the World Series, with Cho Winning and eventually winning the championship (the final opponent Qian Yuping abstained). In 1995, Wang Licheng defeated Zhao Zhixun 3-0 at the Throne Challenge, winning the title of seven chess players for the first time, and the two basically entered the stage of draws, and also began the real Japanese chess world peak grudge entanglement. After Zhao Zhixun reunified the Triple Crown and created a second personal heyday, Wang Licheng gradually became his important opponent.
In the 10th Fujitsu Cup in 1997, the two met in the quarterfinals, and each other was very angry.

Wang Licheng won this round to avenge the defeat in the semi-final of the Fujitsu Cup six years ago, and he has completely no fear for Zhao Zhixun psychologically. Since then, the two have encountered many times in the Seven Chess Challenges in Japan, and in 1998, Zhao Zhixun won 4-2 in the Ben in Fang Challenge, achieving a ten-consecutive victory in Ben In Fang. In the celebrity challenge in the same year, Zhao Zhixun won 4 wins, 2 losses and 1 winless, once again repelling Wang Licheng. However, in the 2000 Chess Saint Challenge, Wang Licheng picked out Zhao Zhixun 4-2, making the dream of the old Zhao Wulian to obtain the honorary chess saint qualification empty, which was a huge blow to Zhao Zhixun's career.
In addition, from 1999 to 2001, the two fought fiercely in the Throne Challenge for three consecutive years, with Wang Licheng winning 3-1 in the first two years and Zhao Zhixun winning 3-0 in the third year. In 2005, Zhao Zhixun narrowly defeated Wang Licheng 3-2 in the Ten Stage Challenge, which also shattered the dream of his opponent's five consecutive championships.
The two played each other eight times in the Seven Chess Challenges, winning four times each. Zhao Zhixun won 2 wins and 1 loss, and Wang Licheng won 3 wins and 2 losses. Wang Licheng is a rare opponent of the "Devil of Fanqi" Zhao Zhixun in the past Fanqi wars, and the total record of the two career confrontations is also roughly equal.
Wang Licheng reached the fujitsu cup final four for the third time, and this is only his fifth time to play in the Fujitsu Cup, and he has already had a second place and a third place in the actual performance, and the efficiency is amazing. Wang Licheng will impact his second World Series finals. This year and the following year, he will also shine at the 2nd LG Cup.
