Yike Go app, record your Go life
I look forward to a win at the age of 100.
(Translation: I hope to win chess when I am 100 years old.) ）
INTERVIEWER Sugiuchi Masao
Just on November 2, 97-year-old Masao Sugineuchi and his wife, 90-year-old Sugita Shouko Yadan, the "longevity immortals" also joined forces to fight the Japanese chess holy war, the then Yike live broadcast room -
However, it is sad that Mr. Masao Sugine, who has been an active chess player all his life, died of pneumonia at the age of 97 in the hospital at 9:38 Tokyo time on the 21st due to sudden pneumonia. His departure heralds the end of the most glorious Showa era of Japanese Go, and pays tribute to all the predecessors of Go! Mr. Eternity! May heaven also have Go!
Suginechi once set a record for the largest age difference in professional competitions against Ryūhei Ōnishi, who was 80 years younger. This was the 65th Tournament of throne Group C qualifiers played at the Japan Chess Academy on March 10, 2016. Born in 1920 at the age of 95, Masao Suganai was born in 2000 and was born in 15 years old, Ōnishi Ryuhei Chudan. The old immortal with white eyebrows fought against the beautiful teenager with clear eyebrows, and as a result, Ryūhei Ōnishi won the 149 hand game. The age difference between the two sides is 80 years, which is the largest age difference in the history of the official competition of the Japanese Chess Academy and the largest age difference in the history of the world Go competition.
Hand talk across the centuries the biggest age difference match
In September last year, the Japan Chess Academy announced the results of the previous week's Japanese chess matchup, and Masao Suganai, born in 1920, defeated Nobuda Narita in the middle game in the preliminary round of The Buninfang, setting a new record for winning chess at the age of 95 and 11 months (96 years old). Masao Sugine and his wife, Sugituchi Shouko, are the only two chess players over the age of ninety who are still active in the game, and they set a record that almost no one can break every game they win or even play.
Masao Suginechi was a contemporary of Wu Qingyuan, who entered the dan in 1937 and played with Wu Qingyuan many times in three chess games. In the Japanese chess world in the 1950s and 1960s, Masao Sugita existed as a member of the top tier, and twice challenged Hidekazu Takakawa in 1954 and 1958. In the honin-in-house loop circle, Masao Sugine repeatedly "razored" Sakata Eio, preventing Sakata Ezuo from dominating the world.
In 1963, Masao Sugita came to China as the head of the Japanese Go visiting group and personally awarded Marshal Chen Yi the certificate of the seventh dan of honor. In this Sino-Japanese Go Exchange Tournament, Chen Zude, a young Chinese master, was defeated by Masao Suganai, creating a record for the first chinese chess player to defeat Japan's nine dans. I hope that Elder Chen and Sensei Sugiuchi can also play against each other in heaven...
Masao Suganai presented Chen Yi with a seven-stage honorary certificate
Since 2008, Masao Suganai, known as a "chess fairy", has broken the record for the oldest chess game ever won in the world chess world, and his opponent is only himself. In fact, Masao Suganai's strength on the chessboard has not declined due to age. In 2009, Masao Suganai won 5 and lost 9 times in the whole year. In 2010, with a win rate of more than 50%, Kobayashi took Mr. Suwanai as an example when he mentioned in a lecture on promoting Go that Go helps prevent diseases in old age. In 2011, he won 7 and lost 8, defeating young Japanese rising stars including Shuhei Uchida. In 2012, the record was also 7 wins and 8 losses, and it was selected as an A-class qualifier in the Battle of the Throne.
The long life of Masao Sugineuchi's professional Go is a miracle, and he is known as the "God of Go" because of his long-term sincere love for Go and his meticulous attitude during the game. In 2004, at the age of eighty-four, Masao Suganai achieved the record for the oldest 800 wins, and since then, he and his wife Sugita Shouko Hachidan, as the world's oldest male and female professional chess players, have played more than ten professional games every year. After passing the age of ninety, Masao Sugitouchi is still able to maintain victories of more than five sets per year.
In recent years, the post-90s players in the Japanese chess world have emerged. In the japanese chess tournament qualifiers, Masao Sugine also played against these chess players who were more than seventy years old on many occasions. At the end of 2013, Masao Suganai competed with Yao Zhiteng, who was born in 1998, with an age difference of up to 78 years. According to yao Zhiteng, who won the game, Suganai Masa's predecessor was in excellent health, frequent long examinations in the game, and the situation was good at one time, and the game was not finished until six o'clock in the evening.
At that time, the Japanese media headline: "Ninety years old vs fifteen years old"
Masao Suganai's wife, 90-year-old Sugito Sugittar, also played against him in the professional arena. The two married in 1954 and are currently the oldest couple to be active in the professional chess world. 2014 is the diamond wedding anniversary of the two, and it is probably the only case that they can play chess in the professional arena for 70 years, from ancient times to the present.
On October 5 this year, the 5th Women's Tachibana Cup Qualifier was held in the Japan Chess Academy, which set the largest age difference match in the history of the women's game. Sitting on either side of the board are the oldest and youngest female chess players in the Japanese chess world. On the left is Sugiuchi Shouko Hachidan, the wife of Masao Suganai, who was born in 1927, and on the right is Ueno Aisami Hatsudan, who was born in 2001.
As an active chess player, Masao Sugine almost won the game three weeks ago, and although he regrets his death, his spirit of dedication to Go has always been there. It can be described as a lifelong quest, a legend in the chess world!
Mr. Sugine made an important contribution to the exchange of Chinese and Japanese Go, is a modern Go theory everyone, many chess friends have said that Mr. Old is also his own introductory teacher, the first Go book read is Suginei's "Basic Techniques of Go", light yellow and green cover, impressive.
There is a man lost in the world, and a chess player in heaven. We believe that after learning about artificial intelligence, Mr. Sugineuchi will convey what he has seen and heard in heaven to chess players such as Wu Qingyuan, Sakata Eio, Hideyuki Fujisawa, Kensaku Setsukoshi, Chen Zude and so on. Good sir go, sir eternity! Chess road eternal, chess soul eternal!
