The 25th Nongshim Ramen Cup World Go Team Championship, an international Go event, set off a fierce battle in Shanghai and attracted the attention of countless Go enthusiasts. In this event, China's Xie Erhao performed bravely, leading the Chinese team with a beautiful seven-game winning streak, but faced a strong challenge from Japan's Yuta Iyama in the third stage. At the same time, Shin Jinzhen stabilized the situation in time and won some face for the South Korean team. In the third stage of the competition, the focus will be on four Chinese players, including Ding Hao, Zhao Chenyu, Gu Zihao and Ke Jie, who are about to take on the challenge of Japan's main players.
In this competition, there are three eye-catching highlights, namely the three consecutive wins of Chinese Go players, the record of Shen Zhenzhen's 12 consecutive wins, and Ke Jie's determination to win his ninth crown. These three points of view are intertwined to form the most eye-catching elements of the game.
Looking back at the history of Go, we can find some enlightenment, the most typical example of which is the duel between Ma Xiaochun and Kobayashi Koichi. Kobayashi Koichi once defeated Ma Xiaochun eight times in a row, which attracted widespread discussion and the attention of Go fans. In the face of this losing streak, Ma Xiaochun did not choose to avoid it, but motivated himself with unique thinking. She used the method of "losing in the middle of the game for the first time, losing 2 and a half eyes for the second time, and losing half of the eyes for the third time" to express her confidence that the gap between her and her opponent is gradually narrowing. This positive mentality finally enabled Ma Xiaochun to gradually turn the situation around and win in the follow-up duel. This process became a reference for later chess players to have a positive mentality.
In the current competition, Ke Jie also experienced an unsatisfactory period. He has lost seven consecutive matches against Shin, which is undoubtedly a huge blow. However, Ke Jie was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, he summed it up invisibly, drawing lessons from it. In the last few games, although Ke Jie has not been smooth sailing, she has been improving. From the Chunlan Cup to the Asian Games team competition to the LG Cup semi-finals, Ke Jie has been working hard to improve her level. This positive attitude allows him to face difficulties in the game bravely and not give up easily.
In her recent three-game match with Shin, Ke Jie showed excellent chess skills, especially in the Chunlan Cup. Although the result was not satisfactory, the progress of the chess game showed that Ke Jie has been working hard to improve. He was in a hurry, hoping to kill the opponent's big dragon by attacking, but because the chess shape was too thin, he lost quickly in the middle game. In the team competition of the Asian Games, Ke Jie suffered a reversal and lost the championship in the individual competition. However, that didn't stop him from continuing his efforts. In the semi-finals of the LG Cup, Ke Jie and her opponent launched an inextricable fierce battle, although she was defeated by a narrow margin, but this game once again showed Ke Jie's strength and determination.
This continuous defeat did not frustrate Ke Jie, but made him cherish the taste of victory even more. He once won a series of battles against Shen Zhenzhen, but when Shen Zhenzhen really emerged, Ke Jie was defeated seven times in a row. This may be a challenge, but Ke Jie did not back down. He once proudly said that the reason why he was able to win so many world championships has a lot to do with Shin Zhenzhen's silent "dedication". However, when Shen Zhenzhen defeated Ke Jie in international competitions, Ke Jie's confidence was greatly hit. In the situation of seven consecutive defeats, what Ke Jie needs to do is to summarize the previous failure experience, use the methods that Ma Xiaochun once inspired himself to motivate himself, and regroup to create brilliance. In this regard, we are full of confidence in Ke Jie.
Every duel in a game of Go has a profound meaning. Whether it is the seven consecutive victories of Chinese Go players, the twelve consecutive victories of Shen Zhenzhen, or the determination of Ke Jie to win the championship, people can't help but look forward to the future of Go. The battle of history has become a revelation for the present, and every chess player is working hard, no matter what the odds, confidence is the driving force for them to move forward. I hope that in the future competitions, we can witness more wonderful scenes, and every chess player will be able to show their strongest side on the chessboard. This is not only a Go tournament, but also a feast of confidence and perseverance, let us look forward to the future of Go.
