Biography
Ke Jie was born in Lishui, Zhejiang, China in 1997. He started to learn Go in 2003 when he was 5 years old with Zhou Zongqiang (周宗强) and won his first national championship in 2007.
He became a pro in 2008 and was promoted to 9 dan in 2015.
In January 2015, Ke Jie won his first world title in the second Bailing Cup, defeating Qiu Jun.[3]
In December 2015, Ke Jie defeated Shi Yue in the 20th Samsung Cup.[4]
In January 2016, Ke Jie won the 2nd Mlily Cup, defeating famous South Korean Go player Lee Sedol in the fifth round.[5] According to 9 dan South Korean professionals commenting on the final game, the result hinged on a half-point ko and the peculiarities of Chinese scoring rules. However, others have pointed out that this argument is misleading, as differences in komi between the Chinese and Japanese scoring systems would have made up the extra point, leading to the same result.[6][7]
