Hungarian Go Association : Diána Kőszegi

http://goszovetseg.hu/?lang=en

Diána Kőszegi (born 1983, in Hungary) is the first Hungarian^[1] professional Go player. She became only the sixth European professional when she was promoted to professional by the Korean Go Association on January 4, 2008. 

Kőszegi Diána was born in August 1983 in Budapest. She began playing Go at age 9. She was initially taught by her father, Kőszegi Sándor (who teaches Go to elementary schools students). At age 11 she began studying under Pocsai Tibor, the winner of the European Go Championship in 1988. During her study of Go, she also began to teach others. She teaches Go on the KGS Go Server.

In 1996, she met 9 dan professional Yasutoshi Yasuda, with whom she kept in contact thanks to Shigeno Yuki, a friend who Diána considers as close as a sister. Diána wanted to be Yasuda's pupil, but this was not to be. Yasuda was very busy at that time. Both Yasuda and Yuki were a big influence on her.

When she was 14 she came 4th at the 1st World Women Amateur Baduk Championship, held in 1997 in Seoul. In the following autumn, she finished 2nd in the 2nd European Women Amateur Go Championship.

She came 9th at the female equivalent of the World Amateur Go Championship in 1998, and was invited to Japan and Korea to study as an insei. Considering her young age, her family did not let her go.

In March 2000, she won the European Youth Go Championship that was held in Sinaia. She came 2nd in the previous two years, and again in 2001. In the same year, even though she finished only joint 8th at the Hungarian Go Championship, winning the play-offs between the top 6, she became the Hungarian Go Champion. She was the first Hungarian invited to professional competitions in China, while still an amateur. Representing Europe, she entered three competitions in 2000 (Shanghai), 2001 (Guiyang), and 2002 (Hong Kong).

Since 2001 she has continued studying Go, without a tutor. In 2001, she stayed in Japan for 1.5 months thanks to the sister and brother Kobayashi Chizu and Kobayashi Satoru. In 2003 she went to the Hungarian university, ELTE. She studied at the programming mathematician department, but she did not complete her course, because of an invitation from the KimWon Baduk Academy, thanks to Mr Eo Jong Soo (7 dan Korean). She got to know him at the World Championship held in Korea in 2003.

She went to Korea in 2004 for 3 months, but then returned because she could not extend her visa. Until she was promoted to professional, from 2005 as an insei she was competing at the league in Seoul. In 2005, she studied at the Korean Myongji University and started teaching Go on-line. She became the sixth European professional, when she was promoted to professional by the Korean Go Association on January 4, 2008.

She translated the Go book 21st Century New Openings, by Kim Sung Rae (4 Dan), into English.

Mythes et légendes du jeu de go (Weiqi)

 

Selon une tradition chinoise, ce serait deux dragons appelés Hei-Zi (le noir) et Bai-Zi (le blanc) se disputant pour savoir lequel des deux était le plus puissant qui créèrent le wéiqí (nom chinois du go) pour se départager. Les dieux envoyèrent alors un troisième dragon observer la partie et lui ordonnèrent de ne revenir faire son rapport qu'une fois celle-ci terminée. Leurs règles étaient les mêmes que les nôtres aujourd'hui, si ce n'est que la règle du ko n'existait pas puisque, étant immortels, ils étaient infiniment patients. Les dragons jouent donc depuis des milliers d'années et chaque millénaire, les dieux envoient un nouvel observateur. Actuellement, cinq dragons observent le jeu et un sixième devrait être envoyé dans quelques années.

Sur le plan historique, bien que le wéiqí soit très ancien, les datations qui lui attribuent plus de 4 000 ans d'âge ne reposent que sur des récits légendaires que rien ne vient étayer mais que beaucoup ont pris pour argent comptant. Seule certitude, le jeu fut inventé bien avant notre ère en Chine. Son attribution à l'un ou l'autre des empereurs légendaires Yao ou Shun, chacun l'ayant utilisé pour l'éducation de leur fils, n'a aucun fondement historique. Pas plus d'ailleurs qu'une autre légende qui en attribue l'invention à un vassal, s'appelant U, qui l'aurait imaginé, quant à lui, pour distraire son suzerain sous le règne de Jie Gui au XVIIe siècle av. J.-C.
Certains chercheurs voient dans l'art divinatoire chinois du Yi Jing de nombreuses analogies avec le wéiqí qui pourrait en être le vecteur matériel.
