The first phase of the 4th Wu Qingyuan Cup was pressed
On November 30th, the semi-finals of the 4th Wu Qingyuan Cup World Women's Go Championship will be held in Fuzhou, and I will also be present to encourage the female players of the Chinese team and cheer for the Wu Qingyuan Cup, a unique cultural Go tournament.
I have always believed that the greatest contribution of Go is not in competition, but in diplomatic and cultural exchanges, especially in promoting friendly relations between China and Japan and South Korea. Go should transcend victory and defeat and strive for cultural exchange.
Wu Qingyuan Cup has a variety of cultural exchange activities
A Go master like Wu Qingyuan can only appear in a thousand years, and I am afraid that there will be no more descendants. So in 2018, when the first Wu Qingyuan Cup World Women's Go Championship was founded in Fuzhou, I was very concerned and supportive. The competition unconsciously came to the fourth edition.
This year's Wu Qingyuan Cup has entered the semi-final stage, china's Yu Zhiying, Wang Chenxing, Fang Ruoxi three players to reach the final four, South Korea although there is only one person, but it is the biggest opponent of Chinese women's Go, the roadblock Cui Jing. She eliminated defending champion Zhou Hongyu in the quarterfinals, and the momentum is very strong.
Fang Ruoxi will play against Cui Jing
In the semi-finals, our 2002 young player Fang Ruoxi played against Cui Jing, and I want to cheer her extra. At the end of the quarterfinals, I said: "Although the opponent in the next game, Cui Jingjing, is very skilled, I hope that our Xiaofang students can show today's combat effectiveness, not afraid!" Fight and win! Leave us Chinese chess fans with good memories. Fang Ruoxi also said very well: "It is true that she (Cui Jing) is stronger than me at the current level, but after two or three months, it may not be." ”
Now that the semi-finals of the Wu Qingyuan Cup are about to start, I hope that Chinese chess players will have a good play and make a momentum.
