Go: From Ten Runner-Up Finishes to Ten Titles

Song Zheng, nicknamed "Song Ten-Second": he made it to the finals of ten world tournaments and finished runner-up every time. Go fans mockingly call him "Song Ten-Second," "Old Song the Runner-Up," "the Essence of Human Runners-Up," "the God of Second Place," "the Grand Slam Runner-Up," and "the Perfect Ten-Time Runner-Up."

At 35, crushed by three devastating losses to AlphaGo, he dies after being hit by a car on his way home. He is reborn on July 10, 2008, at the age of twelve, while competing in the national Go qualification tournament.
