From March 3 to March 5, the Uighur International Go Team Competition ended with The Chinese team winning the championship, the Korean team finishing the runner-up, the Chinese Taipei team 3rd place, and the Japanese team 4th place. The tournament is a team competition of 3 players under the age of 19 (born after January 1, 2002), similar to the Hokuto Cup in which Hikaru Jindo and Ryo Taya appeared in Chess Soul. And the result of this competition is as difficult as the Big Dipper Cup. Of course, there must be a lot to learn after the defeat. We take a look back from the first round of this one.
In the first round of the match between Japan and Chinese Taipei, there was an accident at the beginning, and the fukuoka Aeraga Sandan, who originally played, chose to abstain due to physical discomfort, and the Japanese team participated in the first round of the match without 1 person.
In the end, the Japanese team won 1 win and 2 losses in high school, Nakai won against Hayashi Yu-yuki Hatsudan, and Miura Taro lost to Lai Junsuke 7-dan. Miura established an advantage for a time, but in the end he also said that he was reversed after "committing a spoon that can enter the top three of his Go career". In terms of winning numbers and mentally, it was a very difficult start.
In the second round, before the Chinese team, Sakai Yuri Sandan replaced Fukuoka Hangtaro. Yusuke Sakai received an invitation to participate during his lunch break yesterday. Although the situation was urgent, Sakai Yusuke recalled, "I really wanted to participate in this competition, so I immediately replied,' I want to participate."
This time, the lineup sent by the Chinese team made the Japanese national team coach Tomomo Hirata also lament the strong lineup of "young All-Stars". In terms of record, the Chinese team completely suppressed the Japanese team, and zhongyi played well in this situation. Zhi Hei defeated Zhou Hongyu 6 duan by 1.5 meters. Zhou Hongyu was the strongest player to win the championship in the final of the Wu Qingyuan Cup, one of the women's world series. This game of chess Zhongyi Played Extraordinary, and according to the judgment of ai, it showed that it once fell behind 14 mesh and completed a major reversal. But after the game, Zhongyi yan calmly recalled: "Although the result is very good, my strength has not yet reached the height of Zhou Hongyu." This round of Japan's record is 1 win and 2 losses.
In the third round, Miura Taro and Sakai Yusuke faced South Korea's Moon Min Jong Godan and Han Youyu Sandan, and the situation once gained an advantage, although it was still complicated, but the AI's winning rate reached more than 80%. The chess player himself also said that the layout stage is still very good, but after entering the second reading, the accuracy and speed of the calculation are superior to the Korean team. Don't miss any chances, and as soon as you seize the opportunity to win, you immediately throw off your opponents. After Miura Taro and Sakai lost to rivals, the Japanese team also locked in the 4th place. Although Joong Eun-hyun persisted to the end, he was still inferior to South Korea's genius girl Kim Eun-dō.
Finally, three players were invited to review the topics and achievements of this competition.
Zhongyi: "Although this time I lost the last set, the result is acceptable. This time the topic is still in the layout stage, in the face of the situation that has not been encountered, I should learn a better way to cope. If I gained, and China's Zhou Hongyu Liu Duan finally complex official stage won, this game of chess made me more confident."
Taro Miura: "I lost the game in the first set because of my mistakes in the dead and alive questions, so I did a lot of dead and alive questions before the second set to improve my instantaneous calculation ability. However, the game itself lost after a mistake in judgment. This time, I feel that the biggest gap in my own game is my ability to deal with it accurately in a short period of time. If you reap the rewards..., I can't think of it now."
Yuri Sakai: "After receiving the invitation to participate, I wanted to contribute a little to the Japanese team, but I am very sorry that I did not help the team in the last two consecutive defeats. This time, the subject is the accuracy and judgment of computing power, and people who feel that I am better at computing abound. My strength is still a lot worse. If I gain, I think the layout is still good, but the ability of the middle and back plates is where I need to train well in the future."
The result of the last place is indeed very regrettable, but losing is the best opportunity to grow. In particular, this time, the participants were young chess players who still had enough room to improve. Take this as an opportunity to hope for better results next year.
