Growing experience

Li Changgao, born on July 29th, 1975, is a watchmaker's family in Jeollabuk-do. There is nothing special about Li Changgao's birth, except his mother's unusual fetal dream. He is naturally taciturn and inarticulate, and likes to delve into the principles of things. Such a character does not guarantee that he will become an outstanding figure, but his hard training has created his earth-shattering career on the small chessboard. Li Changgao was deeply loved by his grandfather Li Huachun since he was a child. His grandfather played a vital role in Li Changgao's life. His grandfather discovered the hidden advantages of Li Changgao's personality in time, became the earliest Go teacher in Li Changgao, and led him to visit local amateur masters. Therefore, Li Changgao played countless chess games since he was a child, and the game against Li Zhenyu alone exceeded 65,438+0,000.

Li Changgao's father, Li Zailong, has three sons, and Li Changgao is the second. Li Changgao weighed 4.8kg at birth, which was 1 kg heavier than the average newborn. Because it was a natural birth, Chang Hao's mother suffered a lot during childbirth. According to Li Zailong, the children are very old and seem to follow their grandmother's family.

1March, 982, Li Changgao entered the primary school attached to Quanzhou Institute of Education. After attending primary school, he was particularly good at mathematics and his computing ability was outstanding. 1983, 1 In June, grandpa began to teach him chess. Although it's not too early to start learning chess at the age of eight, Li Changgao has made rapid progress. In only half a year, his grandfather is no match for him. In June of the same year, he joined Tian Yongshan Liu Duan and continued to learn chess. 1February, 984, Li Changgao defeated his other disciples Liu Shixun and won the first championship.

Another important figure in Li Changgao's Go career is Korean chess player Cao Xunxuan. When Li Changgao was 9 years old, he took Cao Xunxuan as his teacher. When Li Changgao first made his debut, it was the era when Cao Xunxuan and Xu Fengzhu competed for hegemony. At that time, most titles belonged to Cao Xunxuan, and the right to challenge basically belonged to Xu Fengzhu. However, when Li Changgao debuted, Xu Fengzhu was defeated in one fell swoop, and he was qualified to compete with his master. After two years as an apprentice, Li Changgao won the first championship in his career. 1990, Li Changgao 4th Duan, who was only 14 years old, won 4 1 game in succession in major chess competitions in Korea, which attracted the attention of Korean chess circles. In the same year, he defeated Masaki Takemiya, a Japanese super-class chess player, in the Fujitsu Cup World Go Championship, and defeated Master 3-2 in the Korean official competition, taking away the title of "the highest position" in Cao Xunxuan. Later, Li Changgao could not accept 1990 as three titles, 199 1 6 titles, 1992 as eight titles and 1993 12 titles. At 1994, Li Changgao has asked Cao Xunxuan to announce it.

1994, Li Changgao set a new record. He won every champion in the China 16 Go Competition more than once, so he was awarded the Korean Cultural News Award. Previously, he also set the most competition record (11game) at 1989, and set the highest winning streak (4 1 winning streak) at1990.

From 1995 to 1999, Li Changgao was awarded the "Best Chess Player" for five consecutive years, and won the second-class Silver Crown Cultural Medal of the Korean Ministry of Culture and Sports at 1996.

In the World Professional Competition, Li Changgao has also been writing legends. 1At the beginning of 992, Li Changgao beat superstar Lin Haifeng Jiuduan 3-2 in the third Toyo Securities Cup World Go Championship, winning the first world-class title and setting the youngest world championship record. He was only 16 years and 6 months. From then on, until August 17, 2007, the final of the third Central Cup World Go Championship ended in Taipei, China. Li Changgao Jiu Duan defeated his compatriot Park Chung-hsiang Jiu Duan and won the Central Cup, bringing the total number of world individual champions to 18.

Charitable activities

In 2020, South Korean chess player Li Changgao Jiu Duan expressed his hope to contribute to the post-disaster reconstruction in novel coronavirus, China, and donated 6,543,800+million won (about 59,000 yuan).

Social assessment

Wu Qingyuan, the first generation Weiqi master, commented on Cao Li and his disciples: "Cao Xunxuan is the most talented chess player. He and I come from the same teacher. He and I have successively studied Seto Yue's physique. Li Changgao's success depends on his extraordinary efforts. He has nothing but playing chess. "

Zhao Zhiyun, a late chess critic in China, commented on Li Changgao's chess style: "There is a famous saying in Li Changgao:' When playing chess, the more gorgeous the layout, the easier it is to be attacked by opponents. In life, people who make fewer mistakes are more likely to succeed than flashy people. It can be seen that Li Changgao's art and people are integrated, and his outlook on life and world is reflected in his chess skills. Generally speaking, Li Changgao's chess style is unpretentious, and he is a "latecomer" chess who makes no mistakes and waits patiently for the other side to make mistakes. He has great strength, but he doesn't use force easily. His train of thought seems to be in the same strain as the ancient military strategist's "be invincible for yourself first and wait for the enemy to win". Of course, it is extremely difficult to play a game with almost no flaws. If a chess player does not have solid basic skills and endurance for long-distance fighting, it is impossible to do this. But for Li Changgao, he had it all. "

Masao Kato, a famous Japanese super-class chess player, once said: "You can understand other people's chess once, and Li Changgao's chess can only be understood after two or three times."

Rui Wei, the first woman in the world's nine-segment chess player, commented on Li Changgao: "If Li Changgao is not the first person in the world, then the world is too unfair."

A Weiqi player commented on Li Changgao: "Playing chess with Li Changgao feels like losing before playing chess."
