First, go

1, over 100 years old (dominant age: 1620- 1650)

Over 100 years old (? -1662), also known as Bo Ling, is from Wuxi, Jiangsu.

Bai Bailing was the most accomplished and famous Go player in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. After defeating Lin Fuqing, he dominated the chess world from 1620 for more than 30 years. His contributions over 100 years old are mainly the research and application of official score [note 1], three score and four score, and learning formula. In his later years, he played chess with Zhou, leaving a famous "ten games a week, and Zhou slightly won"

2. Week (dominant year: 1650- 1665)

Zhou (lazy), a famous chess player in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.

Zhou became a national player after defeating over 100 years old, and he was also the first of the top ten national players in the Qing Dynasty. He once won a great victory with more than a dozen famous players in the wheel war organized by Yin Shan Tang Jiujing. The characteristic of his chess game is that he would rather lose a few points, lose one point first and strive for the initiative step by step. His contribution to chess also includes "flying swallow and pressing swallow, and its play begins with laziness and is the most mellow." According to Xu Xingyou's Record of Mountain Hall Games, Zhou died in the early years of Kangxi (about 1665- 1670).

3. Wang Hannian and Zhou Donghou (hegemony age:? )

Wang Hannian was born in Tiandu, Anhui.

Zhou Donghou was born in Liuhe, Anhui Province.

There are also Wang Hannian and Zhou Donghou, national players who are a little later than Zhou. They have played more than ten games, and it is difficult to tell the winner. Wang Hannian's works such as Meishan Yin Shu are examples of less prejudice in the compilation of ancient chess players in China. Wang Hannian died young. Zhou Donghou was comparable to Wang Hannian in chess when he was young, and became a great chess player after middle age. His chess moves are eccentric, changeable and eclectic. What he is best at is attacking and killing, which is called "partial division and sudden attack." Zhou Donghou believes that playing chess is to study chess, not to win or lose. Therefore, he will not be proud and will not be discouraged if he loses. Later, Huang Longshi played chess all over the world. At that time, the players were so nervous that only Zhou Donghou dared to play with him. People call Huang Longshi the dragon and Hou the tiger, and their game is called "enter the dragon". Zhou Wang and his wife lived before Jade and after Huang Longshi, but they failed to become invincible national players. But without their foil, Huang Zhou's technology can't be displayed.

4. Huang Longshi (year of hegemony: 1670- 1692)

Huang Longshi (165 1? - 1692? ), whose real name is Qiu, also known as Xia, is from Jiangyan, Tai County, Jiangsu Province.

The first peak of Weiqi in Qing Dynasty was Huang Longshi. Huang Longshi/Kloc-arrived in Beijing at the age of 0/7, and played against Shanda, which has been well-known for many years, winning seven out of seven. Since then, he has become a member of the national team. Zhou Donghou and Huang Longshi played the most chess games, circulating for more than 20 games, and Huang won the second place in three games. Others such as Xie Youyu, Hou, Bian Chunyuan, He Gengong, Wu Ruizheng and Zhang are also at a disadvantage. People regard Huang Longshi as a chess saint, and are called "Fourteen Saints" with thinkers such as Huang Zongxi and Gu. Huang Longshi's greatest contribution to the development of Weiqi is that he changed the style of Weiqi. Before him, the chess style was narrow and dignified. Huang Longshi greatly changed the style of chess. After him, the situation is open, light and changeable, and far-reaching thinking. Xu Xingyou summed up Huang Longshi's chess game like this: "Sending fiber farmers in deep water, putting god in the body, the so-called shape is human and I am invisible, so I can do anything." "In a clear, gives birth to branches and leaves, nothing else, its dull and boring state makes the enemy have to accept it. Take off the high dance and become a wonderful place without any dust. " Generally speaking, Huanglong map considers the game comprehensively, makes accurate judgments, is active and changeable, and does not take attacking and killing as the main means of winning. His game with Zhou Donghou is called enter the dragon, and his game with Xu Xingyou's third son is called Blood and Tears, both of which are excellent. It is said that Japanese chess players think that Huang Longshi's middle game has thirteen paragraphs, all of which are forced to be accepted because of its far-reaching calculation. Huang Longshi died in the 30th year of Kangxi (1692).

5. Xu Xingyou (year of hegemony: 1692- 17 19)

Xu Xingyou (1645? - 1720? ), a famous man from Qiantang.

After Huang Longshi, the national player is Xu Xingyou. He is older than Huang Longshi. He is good at painting and calligraphy, and he learns chess very late. But he is dedicated and diligent, so his chess skills have made rapid progress. When he was behind Huang Longshi's two sons, Huang Longshi played ten games of chess with Xu Xingyou by making way for his three sons. It is difficult for Mr. Wang to regain his former glory because he has another son, so he can only try his best to deal with it. These ten chess games were extremely fierce and were called "chess of blood and tears" at that time. After that, Xu Xingyou became a national player. The first match between Xu Xingyou and Huang Longshi was handed down from generation to generation, and Huang Duosheng won. After Huang's death, Xu became a chess leader. The biggest feature of Xu Xingyou's chess style is "insipid". In Xu Xingyou's "Shantang Chess Manual", he expressed his own chess style as follows: "respecting the sky and being indifferent, being muddy and harmonious", "being tangible, not intangible", "being good at fighting, winning without fighting", "chatting, being generous and decent" and so on. He didn't win by fierce fighting, but eroded bit by bit until he won the final victory. Deng Yuanzhang's Collection of Qian Yizhai commented on Xu Xingyou's chess skills as "Bai Fu recites poems, and the old woman can understand them" (Bai Fu refers to Bai Juyi), which also means that his chess skills win with simplicity, which is his greatest contribution to chess skills. Xu Xingyou was defeated by Cheng Lanru in the 58th year of Kangxi (17 19) before retiring to write a book. His Book of Mountain Hall Games is one of the most valuable ancient books in China. It carefully selected Guo Bailing, Li, Zhou, Sheng, Wang Hannian, Zhou Donghou, Huang Longtu and other representative presidium, with detailed comments and quite pertinent and accurate views. Later, Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxiang got the book "I have benefited a lot from diving for several years"
