Ding Hao, a college chess player who won three domestic championship titles last year, declared smugly in an interview with reporters: Going to college has no impact on me, do you see that I am not a triple crown plus!
How to say it, at that time, Ding Hao had just stepped into the campus, and he had not yet detected how deep the water was for a professional Go master in college.
On April 19, at the second stage of the 19th Asian Games China Go National Team Selection Tournament, Ding Hao, who suffered seven consecutive defeats, now does not know whether he has been beaten in the face. At the same time as not winning glory for the country in the Asian Games, Ding Hao's rank score will suffer a decline in the way of collapse, and the second person throne that was once high above seems that he can no longer sit. In the heyday, the trend of entering the university could not rise, and the decline in Ding Hao's record was not an isolated case, and he looked forward to the top players in the future to take it as a warning, and he could consider going to college around the age of 30.
Gossip less, get back to business. The seventh round of the second stage of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games Go Project Selection Tournament has now ended, let's take a look at the results of the five matches: Mi Yu Tingsheng Lianxiao, Fan Tingyu wins Yang Dingxin, Ke Jie wins Against Yu Jiaxi, Gu Zihao wins Xie Ke, Li Xuanhao wins Ding Hao.
Selection site
My judgment is that Yang Dingxin and Ding Hao will win, but in the end, Fan Tingyu won 7 consecutive victories, and Ding Hao, who fell into the abyss, suffered an unprecedented 7 consecutive defeats. Their breakup made my bet success rate barely half, only 60%.
The Asian Games Chinese Go National Team Selection Tournament is divided into two stages, Fan Tingyu, Li Xuanhao, Feng Jiaxi, Xie Ke, Lian Xiao and other five masters from the first stage to stand out and enter the second stage, together with the top five in the ranking, directly into the second stage of Ke Jie, Ding Hao, Gu Zihao, Mi Yuting, Yang Dingxin, etc., to play a single round-robin tournament, the top six players will win the Asian Games Go Tournament tickets. The latest standings after seven rounds are as follows:
Selection standings
It is clear that Boss Fan, who won all 7 games, and Yang Dingxin, who won 5 and lost 2, have taken the lead in getting tickets to the Asian Games. Xie Ke, Ke Jie, Gu Zihao, Li Xuanhao four are followed by 4 wins and 3 losses, the four of them are strong candidates for the Asian Games, of which Gu Zihao because of the long sparse battle, the first appeared to be unfamiliar and the record is not good, after the adjustment, Gu Ba won 4 consecutive wins, there is a trend of latecomers to come first, it is expected that he will not fail in his mission to win the right to qualify. Xie Ke and Ke Jie's hopes are also great, and Li Xuanhao is a little difficult to tell.
Mi Yuting has only achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses so far, and if he wants to be selected for the Asian Games, he must win the last two rounds. Lian Xiao and Yu Jiaxi's record is 2 wins and 5 losses, and they have lost the opportunity to advance, which is completely consistent with my previous prediction.
College student Ding Hao was completely unexpected before the game, and his elimination had no suspense yesterday. It seems that this young man, who belongs to the post-zero generation, still has a long way to go to make a difference in international competitions.
At 3:00 p.m. on April 19, the eighth round of the men's group of the Asian Games Go qualifiers, that is, the penultimate round, continued, and the author simply predicted as follows:
Lian Xiao and Ding Hao's game is purely to complete the task, who wins and who loses has little meaning, but since sitting on the side of the chessboard, it should go all out, the author bets on Ding Hao to win a win and end the 7-game losing streak.
Gu Zihao vs. Li Xuanhao, both sides can not relax, because there is hope to enter the game, considering that Gu Zihao has come out of the smog, the state is recovering well, I bet on Gu Ba.

The battle between Yu Jiaxi and Xie Ke, the former is no longer possible to qualify for the Asian Games, the latter also needs a victory to be all right, in view of the 31-year-old veteran's physical and mental exhaustion after consecutive conquests, the author is optimistic about the young and energetic post-zero chess player Xie Ke.
Fan Tingyu's battle against Ke Jie, one has just reached 7 consecutive wins, the momentum is booming, one is the first person in the grade score, it can be described as the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, I bet a lot, by Ke Jie to end the opponent's winning streak.
This game of Mi Yuting and Yang Dingxin is crucial to the former, and if they fail, they can only return home and say goodbye to the Asian Games. The author is optimistic that he will cross this hurdle and continue to maintain the hope of qualifying.
The Chinese Go National Team Selection Tournament at the Asian Games has reached the final stage, in addition to Fan Tingyu and Yang Dingxin, who have already received tickets, which four good players can qualify? Can the first person Ke Jie live up to expectations? Let's wait and see.
