South Korea's new super-fast chess tournament "YK Construction Machinery Cup" will be contested in the round robin of this tournament. The top two in the loop circle will be the winner of the first "YK Construction Machinery Cup" through three moves.
In order to make this tournament popular with chess fans, the organizing committee tried its best. First, the top two Korean ranks Shin Jin-hyun and Park Young-hwan were "invited" into the loop; second, two wild cards were sent to the "Stars of Hope" Han Woo-jin and Kim Eun-jung; and the third was to set Shin Jin-jin's match against Lee Ji-hyun as the opening match of the round-robin circle.
In the end, the players who appeared in the circle of the loop included Shin Jin-hyun, Park Ting-hwan, Won Sung-jin, Kang Dong-yun, Lee Ji-hyun, Kim Myung-hoon, Kim Shi-dong, Yoo Min-so, Han Woo-jin, and Kim Eun-jung.
It must be seen that the organizing committee favors new talents and female chess players. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Han Woo-jin and Kim Eun-ji to enter the tournament.
In this competition, 217 professional chess players from the Korean Chess Academy and 6 amateur strong players who passed the qualifiers were gathered.
Fast chess game, it is already difficult to play. Super fast chess matches, of course, will be full of surprises. Of the top 10 in the Korean Chess Academy's rankings, only 5 passed the preliminaries.
Bian Sang-yi, who was ranked No. 3, lost to Kim Myung-hoon, who was ranked No. 13, and Kim Ji-seok, who was ranked No. 5, lost to Yoo Min-sook, who was ranked No. 31. As for Lee Chang-seok and Shin Min-so, who are known as "AI good students", they were both eliminated.
How should we view this superfast chess game?
First of all, the tournament organizing committee is still very concerned about the cultivation of young Korean chess players. Otherwise, Han Yujin and Kim Eun would not be able to enter the circle of circulation. But each side has no thinking time, only 1 minute to read the second 10 times of the super fast chess game can cultivate what kind of chess players?
Secondly, there are many problems with the super-fast chess format. In fact, this kind of game is extremely easy to break out of the cold. Bian Sang-yi's loss to Kim Myung-hoon and Kim Ji-seok's loss to Yoo Min-soo are all typical cases. This kind of game, it is difficult to reflect the real level of the chess player.
So, Shen Zhenchen confronted Li Zhixian, who is more advantageous?
