The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can't move it.

Shen Gongbao's famous sayings

Shen Gongbao's words are only half right. Although the prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain, they can still be moved or even uprooted if they work hard enough!

Cao Xunxuan's victory over Nie Weiping in the first Yingshi Cup was like a thunder on the ground, blowing up the traditional Go circle represented by China and Japan to the point of collapse!

But Chinese and Japanese chess players are not convinced!

Mr. Nie's famous sayings

The Chinese side believed that the important reason for the failure was insufficient preparation for the war, which led to Nie Weiping traveling to Singapore alone. On the way, he got on the wrong plane and broke into a cold sweat. As a result, a cold and a fever affected his performance.

The Japanese side believes that it does not pay enough attention. In the words of Master Ma Baoguo, it is "careless and did not dodge!"

Takemiya Masaki and Cao Xunxuan

The evidence is that in the peak battle of the world's strongest players held in 1990, Fujitsu Cup champion Takemiya Masaki defeated 2 to 2. 0 easily defeated Yingshi Cup champion Cao Xunxuan.

Since Takemiya Masaki, who is ranked low in the Six Super Leagues, can suppress Cho Xun-hyun, then Japanese Go should be the strongest in the world.

In addition, Cho Hoon-hyun's identity is also very special. Although he is the first person in South Korea, he once went to Japan to study under Segoshi Kenzu master. He returned to South Korea after completing his skills.

Putting aside his identity, from a technical point of view, Cao Xunxuan can be regarded as most of the Japanese chess players.

Due to the above reasons, the mainstream view at the time was that Japanese Go was still the eldest brother, Chinese Go was the second younger brother, and Korean Go was basically barren except for Cho Hun-hyun, who was not even the younger brother.

But the moment of slap in the face will come soon!

Seo Bong-soo played against Zhao Zhixun

In the second Yingshi Cup, Seo Bong-soo, who represented South Korea, passed five levels and defeated six players. He defeated Fujisawa Hideyuki , Takemiya Masaki and other master-level chess players to reach the semi-finals, 2-1 in the semi-finals. Defeated Zhao Zhixun, the leader of the Six Super Leagues, and counterattacked the esthetician Otake Hero 3-2 in the final. In the end, he won the championship and gave the arrogant Japanese chess community a resounding slap in the face!

Although the Chinese side of this year's Ying's Cup collectively went on strike due to boycotting Rui Naiwei's participation, objectively speaking, Master Xu Fengzhu's championship was full of gold, and he killed famous generals along the way, which fully proved his strength.

A local Korean chess player who has been despised for many years has truly entered the mainstream Go circle. Chinese and Japanese masters who have always felt good have to look down at themselves and become curious and awed by the Korean wave!

Here is a brief introduction to this low-key Korean Go hero:

Seo Bong-soo, male, Korean professional Go 9th Dan

Born on February 1, 1953

The world's top Go master

Nicknamed "Phoenix", "Weed", "Field Commander"

Together with Cho Hun-hyun, Yoo Chang-hyuk , Lee Chang-ho they are collectively known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Korean Go

In 1992, he won the second Yingshi Cup World Go Competition

In 1997, he won nine consecutive victories in the Jinro Cup Three Kingdoms Go Tournament and cleared the table with one stroke , creating The unprecedented miracle in the arena

Seo Bong-soo's chess style is unique. Unlike Cho Nam-chul , Kim In, Cho Hoon-hyun and other leading Korean chess players who are deeply influenced by Japan, Seo Bong-soo is completely self-taught.

shows up on the chessboard by not paying attention to chess principles and shapes. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be of low style. It seems that the whole body exudes an indescribable country style, so it got the nickname "weed".

The native Xu Fengzhu

In terms of the difficulty of breaking through the circle, it is obviously more difficult for Lao Xu who is moving forward in the dark than Japan's Six Super League and China's Lao Nie. This is just like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang are both outstanding emperors, but Li Shimin had a full-level number at the beginning, while Zhu Yuanzhang only had a bowl at the beginning. It was clear who was more difficult.

Perhaps his unattractive appearance and rustic temperament have triggered people's prejudices. Although Master Xu Bongzhu's strength and record are not inferior to those of Japan's Sixth Super League and China's Lao Nie, he has never been given the same status as a chess player. Even the two major outbreaks were deliberately and selectively ignored!

Seo Bong-soo vs. Daeju Hero

The first big explosion: reaching the top of the second Yingshi Cup in 1992

Although it attracted the attention of China and Japan to the local Korean genre, he himself did not receive much praise and attention.

won the Jinro Cup for nine consecutive victories

The second big explosion: the 1997 Jinro Cup Three Kingdoms Tournament nine consecutive victories

was diluted and forgotten because the Chinese and Japanese chess circles were too shy to mention it and the Korean chess circles had too many honors.

If these achievements happen to the leading masters in the Chinese chess world, I believe that an extremely huge halo will be added to him immediately!

This is really "Since Xu was born, how could Cao be born!"

Dear friends, if Xu was lucky enough to be born in China, what achievements would he have achieved in the chess world? If you have any opinions on this, please leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
