The first half of 20 17 has become a memory. Time is like water. If you go east, you can't turn back. For China Weiqi, the first half of this year was full of vitality and brilliance.
JiuDuan, the national player, competed with the amateur king on the same stage ... Among them, Ke Jie, who had a "man-machine war" with Alpha Dog, was magnificent and sang three sighs, which not only left a deep impression in the history of Weiqi, but also attracted people from all fields to watch it across the border, which triggered a heated discussion among the whole people and played a very powerful role in the expansion of Weiqi.
In addition to the man-machine war, two new professional nine sections were born in the first half of the year, namely, 2 1 LG Cup champion Dang Yifei and1Kloc-0/Chunlan Cup champion Tan Xiao. They also benefited from these two world champions and became a member of the Nine Stages Hall of Fame in China Weiqi.
With the long-term depression of Go in Japan, there are fewer and fewer excellent players in Korea. Now the dominant position of Go in the world is the main theme. The more China players win world championships, according to today's promotion rules, they will have nine professional stages. But interestingly, if they don't become nine career stages, they will be invincible. What's going on here? What is the formation and development process of professional teams?
Due to the particularity of the current promotion rules, in some competitions, the high position often loses to the low position. After all, it is not only the overall improvement of the younger generation of players' chess skills, but also the advanced model of the Great Leap Forward, which can not fully represent the level of chess skills to a large extent, and the ninth place of Go is getting closer and closer to the honorary title.
Although there was no "hierarchy" in ancient China, there is a tradition of evaluation now. Whether it is articles, ci-fu, or calligraphy and painting, evaluation is very popular in all fields of literature and art. Like ancient official positions, the level of chess is divided into nine levels. They are: first, ecstasy; Second, sit and take pictures; Third, concreteness; Fourth, seclusion; Fifth, wisdom; Sixth, small; Seventh, combat effectiveness; Eighth, stupidity; Ninth, stupidity. If you can't get the nine products in the evaluation, it means that the level is not enough, so you need to study hard and practice hard.
Of course, the evaluation methods of each era have also changed, not this set of nine-product evaluation has been circulated.
The popular Grade probably originated in Japan. However, in modern times, the development of Japanese Go has been very prosperous, and new schools, new ideas and new players have piled up all over the world, connecting the past and the future, showing a very prosperous situation.
At this time, many westerners travel to Japan and are greatly surprised by the activity of Go, which shows the wisdom of the orientals. As a result, Japanese grades were spread to the west. For a long time, some rules of Japanese Weiqi have gradually become internationally recognized standards, and traditional Weiqi powers such as China and South Korea have gradually accepted this grading method to distinguish the level of chess.
But when grades were born in Japan, the granting of grades was very strict. Even if there are many experts in an era, most of them have only one nine-segment. If you want to advance, you have to be recognized by the four families of Go. If they don't, you have to compete for chess.
Chess matches are decided by several sets of chess agreed by both sides, three sets, five sets, ten sets or even more. If one side wins four games in a row, the losing side will be demoted. After the two sides play again, the pieces will change, so playing chess is not an equal status, because for the honor of the players, many players are promoted by desperate efforts. Of course there will be a lot of effort.
This rule has been circulating for a long time. When Wu Qingyuan went to Japan to study chess, he was demoted to many Japanese chess players by virtue of his great strength, which became a very famous event in the history of Weiqi. This level has ups and downs, and there is a strong incentive to urge players to keep their chess skills at all times, so that players dare not slack off easily.
With the development of modern Go, the promotion stage has gradually become the mainstream of the promotion stage. Japanese player Kuranosuke Fujisawa is the first modern nine-segment player, but this method will never degenerate after the promotion stage. There will be more and more nine-segment prizes, and the gold content will gradually decrease.
Li Shishi was the first person to break the rules of the promotion. At that time, he was in the third stage of his career, young and frivolous. He won the world championship and felt invincible. Many well-known majors can't compete with him, and he doesn't want to waste time and energy in the domestic promotion stage.
Subsequently, the Korean Chess Institute was reformed, and was promoted to Grade 9 when it won the world championship, so Li Shishi was promoted to Grade 9 in just three months.
This method was later imitated by Chinese Chess Academy, which is also an important reason why there are so many career nine stages in China. Luo Xihe is the last person to complete the ninth stage of the entrance examination. After Coulee (including himself), as long as he wins the world championship, he can go straight to the ninth stage and become the most mainstream form.
In today's Weiqi world in China, players born in the 1990s are the main force. They won one international competition after another, but the Laojiu section can't be relegated. In this way, it is normal for nine players who have passed the peak period to lose to young players who have just set up the stage. Therefore, from the current situation of chess, the number of world champions, world chess records, domestic champions, encirclement records and so on can best prove strength.
