Original title: Go rookie Zhang Huanyu and Xiao He have just revealed their sharp angles
On October 15, the Shanxi Provincial Go Autumn Ranking Competition ended. 13-year-old Zhang Huanyu won the championship with a record of seven victories. He therefore became the “youngest amateur 6-dan player” trained in Shanxi.
Zhang Huanyu started learning chess at the age of 6, and was later selected to join the Shanxi Provincial Go Youth Team, where he furthered his studies with famous teachers such as professional players Li Kui, Han Ye, and Zhao Wendong. In October 2019, 10-year-old Zhang Huanyu was promoted to 5th Dan.
In 2022, Zhang Huanyu, who is already a junior high school student, has not lost his love for Go. He chose to enter the Yang Kuan Go Dojo to compete in 6th Dan. In the “6-rushing Agreement Class” specially opened for young masters, Zhang Huanyu received guidance from professional and amateur strong players such as Zhang Qi, Yang Kuan, Fan Yukui, He Sangpeng, Ge Puyoulong, etc.
After a year of training, Zhang Huanyu has made great progress and achieved good results in many provincial competitions. In this competition, he was qualified to apply for amateur 6-dan with a complete victory record. Amateur 6th Dan is also the highest amateur rank that can be awarded by the Shanxi Provincial Go Association.
Zhang Huanyu is also the “youngest amateur 6-dan chess player” trained in Shanxi. Previously, the young masters of Go in our province all obtained the title of amateur 6-dan through national competitions following studying in Go dojos outside the province.
“This kid is serious, focused, and pursuing chess.” Go coach Zhang Qi was deeply impressed by Zhang Huanyu. “Zhang Huanyu once lost a game that he shouldn’t have lost. After the game, he sat quietly in front of the chessboard for an hour to review and reflect. , I still vividly remember this scene.”
“We have a group of outstanding young chess players like Zhang Huanyu.” Li Kui, secretary-general of the Shanxi Provincial Go Association, said, “But most of these children have chosen school. If they choose Go, they are likely to become excellent professional players.”
On October 14, Ding Hao, China’s first “post-2000” Go world champion, defeated Ke Jie with a big score of 2-0 to defend the national championship. Ding Hao, a young man from Datong, is a professional chess player who balances his studies with Go. After entering Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, he successively won the national championship, the Grand Master Championship, and the World Go Championship. (Reporter Yang Erxin)
