Special correspondent GuCa reported that on January 6, 2022, the semi-finals of the 16th Weifu Fangkai Cup China Go King Championship were held at the Zhongwei Blue Ocean Hotel in Wuxi, and Mi Yuting's ninth dan and Yang Kaiwen's 8th dan defeated Tong Mengcheng 8 dan and Li Qincheng 9th dan respectively, and they met in the final. Previously, Mi Yuting had reached the final in 2016 and 2019, losing to Huang Yunsong's eighth dan and Fan Tingyu's ninth dan respectively, and this time he reached the final three times and once again attacked the championship. For the first time in his career, Yang Kaiwen reached the final of a chess game, which was already a major breakthrough.
In the quarterfinals the day before, Mi Yuting won the three crowns Ding Hao nine dan, the fast knife Li Qincheng defeated Peng Liyao in the nine dan, Tong Mengcheng defeated Xie Erhao in the eighth dan, and Yang Kaiwen won in the eighth dan against Yi Lingtao in the eighth dan. In the semi-finals, the battle between Li Qincheng vs Yang Kaiwen ended first, the black Yang Kaiwen rarely started with the "Chinese stream" that had not appeared for a long time, and the large Qi's flying knife variant in the upper right was handed over, and Yang Kaiwen seemed to have a major omission, resulting in a clump of blacks being eaten, and the winning rate dropped to single digits, at this time the chess game was only more than 40 hands. When the white chess piece is divided on the periphery without mercy, the winning rate is close to 100%.
However, just in the situation that seems to have been steadily won by how to play, the fast knife Li Qincheng made an incredible mistake in the process of collecting gas and eating black chess, at this time he only needed to let the large pieces of white chess in the middle abdomen come out freely, but in actual combat, his "cap" was a big spoon, and after the black chess simply and rudely rushed out, the white chess piece could not be blocked unexpectedly.
Although the black chess piece cannot kill the white chess piece after rushing out, it can use the abandoned son to wrap the white chess piece tightly, forming a strong thick momentum in the midfield, and the winning rate is reversed in an instant. But after that, when the two sides continued to fight on the lower left, Li Qincheng ushered in another opportunity to reverse, but his psychology of wanting to retain the change ruined the short-lived opportunity, and the black chess piece won the lower left corner to rob the fighter that killed the white chess piece, and then did not give the white chess room to reverse, until the 259 hand game won.
In the middle game, Tong Mengcheng attacked Bai Lonely Chess in the right hand, and played two slow hands in the charge, allowing White Chess to reap its benefits and calmly cure the orphan. Subsequently, the black chess piece was even more played with a sticky defeat, and after being severely counterattacked by Mi Yuting, the black chess piece only ate a few remnants of the white chess piece, but the periphery was completely sealed by the white chess, the black chess piece suffered heavy losses, and the white chess almost established the winning trend.
After the process, Mi Yuting firmly controlled the game and showed an excellent state, although the number of hands below was large, it had nothing to do with victory or defeat. To 228 hands, Tong Mengcheng conceded defeat in the middle.
