On April 18, in the 28th game (Game 1 of the 8th round) of the 3rd Korea Supreme Chess Championship Final held at the K Go Studio, Bian Sang-yi defeated Cho Han by 160 hands.
"It's just starting to switch and it feels a little better. After that, there was a slight mistake and it became a little difficult, but after the upper finalization I felt that I was going to win," Bian Xiangyi said after the match.
As of now, Bian Xiangyi has led the way alone with a score of 6 wins and 1 loss. Shin Min-min Jiudan won 5 and lost 1, Kang Dong-yun Jiudan won 5 and lost 2, and Park Tinghuan Jiudan followed with 4 wins and 1 loss.
Exactly who will be able to get the final challenge is still unknown. Because there are still many matches left between the upper circles, Bian Sang-yi Jiudan preemptively occupied the 6-win high ground, and even if he won the last match against Park Tinghuan Jiudan, he could not be sure to become a challenger. Because if Shin Min Wins 2 Games and also achieves 7 wins and 1 loss, Bian Xiangyi will be at a disadvantage in terms of small points.
If Shin Min-ho 9 Dan and Park Ting-hwan 9 Dan win all of them next, they may be able to gain the right to challenge. In addition, if there is a fight that bites each other, the possibility of a three-person cycle is not ruled out. For the last match with Park Tinghuan Jiudan, Bian Sang-yi Jiudan said that "must win"
In addition, Zhao Han, who struggled to break through the qualifiers, suffered seven consecutive defeats in the round robin circle. The rest of the match was against Hong Mao Town's five-dan match, who said" "From the current situation, it is not easy, but I will try".
A total of 226 players participated in this year's highest chess player battle, which was divided into three stages: the pre-selection stage, the 9-player round-robin final, and the wufan chess challenge. The first place in the loop will compete with defending champion Shin Jin-chan Kudan for a five-game game.
The prize money for the winner is 70 million won, and the second prize is 20 million won. In addition, the final stage of the match is 1.5 million won for the winner and 800,000 won for the loser.
