Career

Nie started learning go at the age of 9 and won the Beijing Children’s Championship one year later.

Nie claimed titles in the National Go Championships five times: 1975, 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1981.

He became famous after winning the China-Japan Supermatches. He beat several famous players in the process and was widely regarded as one of the strongest players in the world during the 1980s. The period from 1975 to 1979 was called by China's go circle as "Nie Weiping Time."

In the 1980s, Nie became a household name in China. From national leaders to civilians, everyone was interested in his game. Students from Peking and Tsinghua universities even marched to celebrate his victory in the China-Japan Supermatches.
