The year of Chinese men's Go was surpassed by South Korea, and the Samsung Cup, LG Cup, and Chunlan Cup were all taken away by Korean chess players, and Shin Jin-chan and Park Tinghuan were in the sky.
After the Chinese men's Go lost their armor, in the last month of 2021, the Chinese Go manservant and female successor, the women's Go hoisted the banner of anti-Korean, and Yu Zhiying met the Korean women's first person Choi Jing narrow road at the 4th Wu Qingyuan Cup final.
Although Yu Zhiying's record was inferior in the recent match against Cui Jing, she defeated Cui Jing in the fanxing cup final in March this year. Therefore, this year's Wu Qingyuan Cup, chess fans still have great hopes for her.
This time Wu Qingyuan Cup, Yu Zhiying won the first set under the disadvantage. The second set was won by Cui Jing in the ascendant.
In the third set on December 4, like the second set, Cui Jing fell slightly behind in the first half of the game with plenty of time, and then in the middle of the second, he won through accurate calculations. Thus defeating Yu Zhiying 2-1 and taking away the Wu Qingyuan Cup.
Yu Zhiying's defeat also caused Chinese Go to lose its last position in the last month of 2021.
In the women's Go World Championship, it is generally believed that the competitions that can be called world majors are: Cuibao Cup, Bing Holy Grail, Fanxing Cup, Wu Qingyuan Cup and so on. Prior to this, Yu Zhiying had won three consecutive Fanxing Cup championships and one Bing Holy Grail championship, and was the "four champions" of women's Go.
At present, in the history of women's Go, China's Rui Naiwei ranks first, and she has won a total of 8 world championships. South Korea's Choi Jing, on the other hand, won 4 Bing Holy Grail championships and 2 Wu Qingyuan Cup titles, and is the "Six Champions". South Korea's Park Ji-eun won five world championships before Choi Jung.
Judging from Yu Zhiying's chess in the final of this year's Wu Qingyuan Cup, the reason for losing chess is exactly the same as that of Chinese male chess players. Both were able to support or slightly dominate in the first half of the game with plenty of time, but collapsed in the final reading of the seconds.
It seems that Chinese chess players should strengthen the training of chess after reading the seconds and strengthen the practice of officials.
Compared to the lack of hope for male chess players, the situation of female chess players is slightly better. After Yu Zhiying, we still have 19-year-old Zhou Hongyu, who has already won the Wu Qingyuan Cup last year and defeated Yu Zhiying.
