Who is the first person in the world to play Go today, and who is the number one person in the world

It used to be Lee Chang-ho, and now it is China's post-90s chess players competing for hegemony.

Shi Yue, Fan Tingyu, Tuo Lao, Zhou Ruiyang, Yang Dingxin, these.

The world of Go, the first ten years of course, is Lee Chang-ho's world, in the past two years Lee Sedol is in the limelight, but from the perspective of the future development trend, Gu Li is very hopeful to start leading!

Judging from this year's record, among the six major international competitions, Guli has reached the finals (Fujitsu Cup, Toyota Cup and LG Cup), among which it has won the Toyota Cup; Lee Chang-ho has two finals (Fujitsu Cup and Ying's Cup); Lee Sedol, on the other hand, only made it to the final of the LG Cup. In the remaining Chunlan Cup and Samsung Cup, Gu Li and Lee Chang Ho entered the quarterfinals of the Chunlan Cup, and they will meet in the quarterfinals; Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol also reached the quarterfinals of the Samsung Cup and will also meet in the quarterfinals. So this season, Lee Sedol has a maximum of two events to reach the finals, while Lee Chang-ho seems to have a better chance, and both he and Guli have the potential to reach the finals in four events.

It seems that this year's Lee Chang-ho is indeed showing signs of recovery! But I believe that Coulee is on the rise and is beginning to enter the maturity stage, and Lee Chang-ho's peak has passed!

So in the rest of the season, there are a few key battles: the cup final - whether Gu Li can defeat Lee Sedol in the trilogy may finally determine who is the first man of the day!; 2.

Chunlan Cup Guli vs. Lee Chang Ho Quarterfinals - Gu Li has already defeated Lee Chang Ho in this year's Fujitsu Cup final and LG Cup semi-finals respectively, and a win over him again would fully establish his dominance over Lee Chang Ho; 3.Lee Chang-ho vs. Lee Sedol in the quarterfinals of the Samsung Cup.

Two more people need to be mentioned - Chang Hao and Park Yongxun. Chang Hao has made great contributions to winning the Ying's Cup and winning the Nongshim Cup for China this year, but this year's results are very average, and now only the Chunlan Cup still has hope; And Park Yongxun is also known as one of the five kings of the Go world, but this year's results are very bad, and now there is no hope in the six major tournaments, only for the next year!

I don't know, I only know the past.

The first place in the world Go ranking is Shen Zhenzhen.

Shin Zhenzhen, born on March 17, 2000 in Busan, South Korea, is a professional Go player in South Korea, nine-dan, and the first in South Korea.
