According to hangame, on December 3, the "Shin Pu Final" was staged again, and Shin Jin-hyun defeated Park Ting-hwan in the second game of the 40th KBS Chess King's Battle Final, reaching a three-game championship 2-0, the 6th time this year, a total of 22nd crown.

In the second game held in the KBS studio on the afternoon of the 3rd, Shin Jin-chan defeated Park Ting-hwan again with 158 hands (the specific content was recorded by KBS) after more than 1 hour of fighting.
This is the 10th final between the two players. Among them, Shin Jin-hyun won 6 championships and Park Ting-hwan won 4 championships. The record of both sides became Shin Jin-chan 28-22. Since the first showdown on October 1, 2013, a total of 50 matches have been played.

After the game, Shin Said, I didn't expect this year's KBS Chess Championship to be held, but I finally won the championship, and I am very grateful. I hope to achieve good results next year and challenge for 4 consecutive championships.
Since the beginning of this year, Shin Has Won the Championship for the sixth time. He has won the Strongest Chess Players Battle (July), GS Plus Cup (August), Celebrity Battle (August), Dragon Star Battle (September), Chunlan Cup (September) and other championships. It is currently 6 titles, and the number of titles has increased to 22 since entering the stage in 2012.
In addition, he led the Korean team to win the 22nd Nongshim Shin Ramen Cup team championship and the 2020-2021 Korea KB League title earlier this year. The "invincible" Shin is expected to win the championship again in the upcoming finals of the Ying's Cup, LG Cup and the ongoing Bull's Knee And Claw Cup.
The 40th KBS Chess King Battle lasts 5 minutes per side, 5 30-second second seconds, 20 million winners, and 6 million won prize money for runners-up. This tournament canceled the qualifiers and changed to an 8-player invitational tournament, and the nature of the chess tournament was reduced from the previous comprehensive chess tournament to a limited chess tournament. In addition, the Asian TELEVISION Quick Chess Tournament, where the champions and runners-up of the KbS of South Korea, the CCTV Cup of China, and the NHK Cup of Japan meet every year, were cancelled after the end of the 31st tournament in 2019.
