Guangzhou Daily News (All-media reporter Shi Shaozong) The first game of the 13th Chunlan Cup World Go Championship Sanban chess final was held online yesterday, and South Korea's first master Shin Jin-chan Zhibai narrowly defeated the Chinese team's chess player Tang Weixing with the slightest advantage of 1/4, and won the match point first.
The Chunlan Cup is the World Go Tournament launched by the Chinese mainland in 1998, and it is also the only competition whose format has not changed since its inception. The first five championships were won by Korean and Japanese players, and it was not until the 6th that the Chinese team player Gu Li won the championship. In the first 12 competitions, the Korean team chess player won the championship 6 times, the Chinese team chess player won the championship 5 times, and the Japanese team chess player won the championship once. The final of this tournament once again took place between Chinese and Korean players, deciding whether South Korea would continue to lead or whether China and South Korea would tie the score.
China's Tang Weixing and South Korea's "first brother" Shin Jin-chan are both reaching the Chunlan Cup final tri-game final for the first time, and the two sides have met seven times before, and Shin Jin-chan leads 5 wins and 2 losses. The two most recently met in may of this year's China Weijia League, and Shen Zhenchen, as a foreign aid, won by a score of 3.5. In the latest ranking, Shin Jin-chan has been ranked 1st in South Korea for 21 consecutive months, and Tang Weixing is ranked 25th in China. In the recent comparison of achievements, Shin Zhenchen is obviously superior, winning three consecutive championships in 25 days, and is currently the fifth champion of South Korea; Tang Weixing's domestic record is lackluster, and the Nongshim Cup Three Nations Ring Tournament and the Samsung Cup World Championship China Selection Tournament have failed.
In the first set of yesterday's final, both sides played a very high level, Tang Weixing, who was the first to play in this battle, has not been left behind, and the situation between the two sides is still glued after entering the middle set, but unfortunately, After Tang Weixing slowed down, Shen Zhenchen took the lead. In the complex situation, Tang Weixing was full of tenacity, first unconsciously catching up with the situation and overtaking, and then playing a clever hand, making the chess game develop in the direction of the black side's small victory. But at the last moment, Tang Weixing made a fatal mistake, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the white chess set up a small victory. Playing to the final game of the 271st hand, Tang Weixing lost with the smallest gap of 1/4.
After the game, Tang Weixing expressed regret: "It is true that he is gaining momentum, and I am not sure if I can beat him, but I have to create a little trouble for him, I hope I can win the second set." ”
