On March 24, the second round of the 14th Chunlan Cup (Round of 16) was played online, and Ke Jie defeated South Korean chess player Kim Myung-hoon in 236 handboard to successfully advance to the quarterfinals, which was also Ke Jie's first victory in the World Series after losing the Nongshim Cup this year. In the rest of the matches, youngster Lee Wei-ching defeated South Korean chess player Park Tinghuan, breaking a major stumbling block on the road to victory for the Chinese team. In the quarter-finals, Chinese players had the advantage against Korean players 5-3.
In the first round of the Chunlan Cup (round of 24) on the 22nd, China's two world champions, Shi Yue and Mi Yuting, lost to South Korea's Kim Myung-hoon and Japan's Sada Tuk-shi respectively, and Kim Myung-hoon met Ke Jie after advancing. Kim Myung-hoon has been in really good shape lately, with the exception of winning Mi Yu-ting, who won a combined 10-2 record in 12 innings in March and scored into the South Korean Asian Games selection team. Such a fierce momentum should not be underestimated.
On the other hand, Ke Jie's recent state is not outstanding, he lost to Shen Zhenchen in the most important Nongshim Cup main general battle in February, so that the Chinese team tasted the bottom taste after many years, and there were not too many games in March, only 3 sets of Tianyuan Battle games were played before this game, but in the challenge decision to defeat Mi Yuting, chess fans are not sure about How Ke Jie is in the state now.
Jin Mingxun, who drew black chess in this game, stepped out of his hand to start the game with Xiaomu, and Ke Jie should use the star Xiaomu. The prologue black chess is more focused on the field, first get the field of the three corners, while Ke Jie casts the chess form below with the thick momentum built in the lower right, and occupies the upper side. However, the black chess piece suddenly started after the 33 hands on the top, and after abandoning the three sons, he took a lot of advantages. The white chess piece was concocted in the same way, and after the 62-hand score, there was also a turn on the left side to pull the situation back slightly.
And taking advantage of the problem hand of black chess 105, white chess keenly 106 flying cover under the next son, suddenly the situation is superior. Black chess 111 hand tip in the white air to work, holding a certain advantage, but Jin Mingxun's skill in the middle game is obviously not as good as Ke Jie, he is too conservative under the 141 and 143 hands, 153 hands and go almost single officer contact, Ke Jie seized the opportunity to aim at the right thin position, fished out a large piece of cheap, the situation suddenly overturned. After that, the white chess piece took full advantage of the official, the black chess piece missed many opportunities, little by little lost the original territory, and finally the appearance of the black chess piece 4 eyes on the board was not enough to stick to the eye, and Jin Mingxun had to admit defeat.
In other competitions, Tang Weixing, Li Xuanhao, Yang Dingxin and Ke Jie all successfully won the pass. Gu Zihao lost to Bian Xiangyi, Li Qincheng lost to Shen Zhenchen, and Ding Hao also lost to Shen Mincheng, which also caused the Chinese chess players to lose a certain amount of combat strength. In the last game, China's post-00s youngster Li Weiqing and South Korea's second largest roadblock Park Tinghuan fought for nearly 8 hours, with the rules after the sticky robbery to achieve a thrilling half-eye victory, for the Chinese chess players to win a ride, but also became the most eye-catching chess player in the round of 16, so that today's 6 Sino-South Korean confrontation results are 3-3, and the number of Chinese and South Koreans in the round of 8 is 5-3. I also hope that the Chinese players will continue to work hard to regain the Chunlan Cup for China again.
