Is Go the sport with the highest IQ? Why

Go is a sport with the highest IQ. It is completely different from other sports in that it does not require physical strength, does not require balance ......Wait a minute. It's a completely mental exercise.

The reason why it is divided in terms of movement is because it originated in warfare, and it is a kind of sport used in ancient times to simulate the battlefield, a kind of tabletop combat. Go is an absolute high-IQ sport that has no other game through the ages, with endless variations.

This year's CCTV program "The First Lesson of School" focuses on Go, black and white, and the charm is endless. It is the only course in China's "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" that has a win or lose. It not only requires brains, but also needs to win without arrogance and defeat.

I am a preschool Go teacher, I used to be just a personal hobby, but now it is a livelihood **, the more I get in touch, the more interested I become. In recent years, a lot of data has shown that Go is indeed very helpful for children's intellectual development, and it has been included in the nine-year compulsory education, and parents have sent their children to learn Go.

Go has two colors, one black and one white, unlike Chinese chess, which also requires literacy. Therefore, it is very simple for children to learn Go to get started, but it is difficult to learn it well, and every move must be calculated well. Most of the children in my class who come to learn Go are actually not smart, maybe the children's IQ is relatively low, parents are very aware of the benefits of semester chess, and they insist on letting their children learn chess, they think that the less intelligent they are, the more they need to develop and train, and the children who have learned Go seriously are indeed becoming more and more clever.

Playing Go requires us to calm down and think, calculate, all rely on brainpower, and if we are in a hurry, we will lose if we don't calculate carefully. There are winners and losers in Go, and children have experienced too many wins and losses, and they slowly start to lose. Every game of chess can also be calculated calmly and with your brain.

The more I think, the more I calculate, and the more my intelligence gradually improves.

Of course not, creativity is, Go is just a regular game, and it's like doing math problems.

People who often play Go are not very smart, and they mainly consider these factors.

The first factor, there is a certain correlation between playing Go and IQ, for example, a little boy in the fourth grade of primary school, in a year from the amateur to the amateur five, can be said to be invincible in the same section, and was later selected into the city team, and won the second place in the provincial competition, is now a national first-class athlete. The fact that a child can achieve such good results must have a lot to do with IQ. According to his mother, the child's concentration ability is particularly strong, and his academic performance is also very good.

The second factor is that some children who have been learning chess for a long time have basically passed the elementary school entrance examination to the city's very good key junior high school. I chatted with my son's Go teacher, and 13 of the children he took in recent years were admitted to the best middle schools in the city. The pressure of competition in these middle schools is very high, and the fact that children can enter such schools shows that their IQ is not bad, and through learning Go, these children's overall thinking skills have been greatly improved.

The third factor is that playing Go often promotes the improvement of concentration ability, often the next game of chess takes nearly an hour, and children need to be very cautious about every move, even if they are not careful, they may let the opponent take advantage of the loopholes.

The fourth factor is that playing Go regularly promotes the improvement of mathematical calculation ability, and playing Go requires "one step and three steps", and many thinking processes need to be calculated and deduced in the mind like a movie. Therefore, teachers often give some problems to children to exercise their ability to calculate and deduce.

The fifth factor is that playing Go regularly promotes the improvement of abstract thinking skills. Go is only available in black and white, but the 19-way game has a myriad of possibilities. Therefore, children should also exercise their ability to "review" after playing a game of chess, and be able to review the steps of playing chess one by one through the chessboard or computer.

Of course, people who play Go a lot are very smart, because if you want to learn Go well, you need to use your brain. Therefore, people who learn Go are generally very flexible.

Yes, it is because when playing Go, there are particularly big requirements for people's brainpower, people's thinking structure, and logical thinking ability, and these people's brains are particularly large and the spatial structure is particularly strong.

Yes, people who play Go regularly will become very smart, and they will often use their brains to think about some problems in life, and they will continue to explore the logic of the other party.

My answer may hit some people: not only is it difficult for people with average IQ to learn Go well, but it is also not easy for people with high IQ to learn Go well.

Not only is it difficult for people with average IQ to learn Go well, but it is also not easy for people with high IQ to learn Go well.

at Tsinghua University.

When I was an undergraduate, I used to join the school's Go Association. We organize a weekly event for the Go Association, aiming to provide a platform for Go enthusiasts to play against each other, as well as for those who are interested in the game of Go. In the association, there are some legends circulating:

A student who once joined the association with zero foundation became a strong amateur 5th dan two years later and almost entered the school team.

Because I have a certain foundation in Go, I worked as a junior teacher in the association for a short period of time. My job is to quickly get people who don't know anything about Go into the game.

Before the first class, I prepared very carefully, and I wanted to start with eating seeds and cultivate my classmates' interest in Go.

The teaching effect also seems to be quite good, and everyone has responded enthusiastically and asked a lot of questions. At the second event, 90% of the participants still participated.

Things have developed so far, it seems that there will be a better ending, right?

But the real situation probably disappointed you: after two or three classes, fewer and fewer students came to each class, at first it was a big class, and then gradually it was only a small stove. Half a year later, only 2 people persevered, and of course the level has improved considerably.

Later, because I was busy with my studies, I participated in fewer and fewer activities by myself, and I gradually forgot about it.

About 4 years later, I was in graduate school at Tsinghua University, and one day, I suddenly had a whim to go to the Go Association, which I had not visited for many years. How will the Xieshan Bureau do it?

Coincidentally, that day, I met a classmate who was one of the 2 students who stayed that year. 4 years have passed, has there been a qualitative improvement in his level?

I quickly played a game of chess with him ......

It turned out to be ......

He was still abused by me, and it is estimated that his level can be inferior to me by six or seven ......

Therefore, even Tsinghua students who are interested in Go may not be able to learn it well, which shows how much effort and persistence it takes to learn Go, if it is not for superior intelligence, or if you start learning chess from a young age, it is quite difficult to become a good chess player.

1. ConcentrationWhen playing Go, you should concentrate, think about every move, not be a little sloppy, and plan your strategy, but also think about your opponent's strategy, so you can enhance your concentration.

2. MemoryStudies have shown that playing Go can promote the development of the right brain and enhance memory.

3. IntelligencePlaying Go can learn many strategies, which helps to develop the child's brain and achieve the effect of developing intelligence.

4. CreativityWhen playing Go, the chess face is ever-changing, and it requires a lot of creativity from the players to deal with it in order to win. Therefore, playing Go will slowly develop creativity.

5. Computing powerThe process of playing Go is inevitably inseparable from calculations, and it must be completed by one's own mental arithmetic. Therefore, learning Go can make children smarter.
