Huang Longshi

    Keywords: Culture & History, People

(trad. 黄龍士, simp. 黄龙士, b. 1651 or 1654 - ca 1700)

"HUANG LONGSHI , also known as Huang Yuetian, was a go champion in the Kangxi period (1662-1723) of the Qing dynasty in China. He was also one of the most accomplished and praised go champions of all time"

Go Seigen once commented on the Chinese player, Huang Longshi of the Qing Dynasty; if Huang were alive today, he would be 13 dan!

Read the [ext] complete essay by John Fairbairn on Huang Longshi and his contemporaries in 17th century China.

Zengarden: Countsheep, a very strong Chinese amateur, has produced a fantastic and instructive commentary on the game Huang Longshi v Jiang Tianyuan (1680) on Youtube, as part of his "Greatest games ever played" series. This wonderful game is a lesson on how to use influence: see [ext] http://www.gocommentary.com/free-videos/the-greatest-games-ever-played-04-huang-longshi-vs-jiang-tianyuan.html Very highly recommended.

There are also 28 deeply commented games available in a Chinese book by a contemporary weiqi master called Xue Zhi Cheng. I managed to obtain a copy from a contact in Shanghai and the book is very impressive. I believe the author can be contacted at xuezhicheng0127@sohu.com

Xue Zhi Cheng has also done a commentary on selected games of Huang Longshi's pupil Xu Xing You.

There is also a very good two volume games collection by Ma Zheng: Qi sheng Huang Longshi quan pu / Ma Zheng bian zhu 棋圣黄龙士全谱 / 马诤编著 by Ma, Zheng 马诤 Beijing Shi : Ren min ti yu chu ban she, 2009 北京市 : 人民体育出版社, 2009
