In the final set of the quarterfinals today, Gu Zihao and Shen Zhenchen played 98 sets on the Tencent Wild Fox network, Gu Zihao fell behind with 38 wins and 60 losses, and the two recently met on October 16, playing 1 win and 1 loss in two sets. Gu Zihao started with a rare layout of stars and small eyes, and the upper right and upper left sides exchanged points and threes, maintaining a delicate balance between the outside world and the field.
Shen Zhenchen took the lead in the upper right hand, investigating the thin taste of the large piece of black chess, although he was able to pluck flowers on the periphery, but he fell behind, and the black chess piece was able to preemptively penetrate into the upper left white array, wash away the white chess piece into empty potential and then lead the run.
Shen Zhenchen, who was slightly behind the situation, exploded with amazing strength, making a sharp move in the black sub jungle in the lower right corner, gu zi arrogantly gave the flying shield, trying to annihilate the suddenly invading Bai Zi here, but the method was still excessive, and the white chess piece penetrated the black horn and formed a robbery, regardless of the outcome of the robbery, the white chess piece had successfully equalized the situation so far.
Subsequently, Shen Zhenchen also wanted to expand the results of the robbery battle, and also swallowed the black son on the outside of the right plate, which was too late, and completely ignored the prestige of the "bully". The black chess piece turned around easily, and the whale swallowed the large piece of white chess that had just worked hard to penetrate the black horn, and now it didn't even have to fight, and the white chess winning rate plummeted to single digits.
Gu Zihao, who had a huge advantage, relaxed slightly, just threw a son in the middle abdomen, expanding the middle abdomen, but at this time the focus was on the lower side plate, if Gu Zihao tightened the large empty barrier of the lower side plate, then there was almost no room for reversal in this game. In actual combat, Shen Zhenchen incarnated as a "subway stream", sneaking in continuously in the lower side of the second way, washing away the potential of the mid-abdomen black chess piece into an empty space, and pulling the winning rate back to the starting point from single digits.
In the second half of the game, Shen Zhenchen incarnated as the "Official Son's Holy Hand", full of knives flying, but saw that the white chess winning rate went all the way up, while Gu Zihao was helpless, to 240 hands, the gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, and Gu Zihao conceded defeat in the middle of the game.
Lian Xiaojiudan, Wang Xinghao 6th Dan, Shen Zhenchen 9th Dan and Bian Xiangyi Ninth Duan reached the final four, and the semi-finals will be re-drawn to decide the match, and the match will be held at a later date.
