This time, Ke Jie tied the record of eight crowns of the famous Go player Gu Li in China, and he was younger than the people behind him when he achieved this achievement. Ke Jie held the record of winning the three-star Cup finals. 20 15, 20 16 and 20 18 entered the finals three times and all won the championship.
Due to the epidemic situation, this year's Samsung Cup took the form of online competition. On the first day of the game yesterday, I played black chess. Ke Jie won because he accidentally clicked the wrong place with the mouse. In today's second game, Ke Jie was at a disadvantage, but eventually reversed the disadvantage and won the championship.
In the quarter-finals of the ninth Yingshi Cup in 2020, Ke Jie, the first player in China Weiqi, lost to Xie Ke, a teammate after 00, and missed the championship. China Weiqi has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is so fierce after 00. Since 1980s, the leading figures in the field of Go in China have a characteristic, that is, it is difficult to win the Ying's Cup. So far, only Chang Hao, the leader of China, won the Shi Ying Cup for China in 2004.
China Weiqi has won the most world championships so far by Gu Li, who has won eight world championships, while Ke Jie has won eight world championships now. However, Coulee was unlucky in the Yingshi Cup, and only reached the quarterfinals in the 7th Yingshi Cup at 20 12.
I think the most important thing for a Go player is to be careful. I think it's a pity that Shen played the wrong chess. But really good people should also have good luck. I think Ke Jie's eight consecutive championships are worthy of the name!
