The semi-finals of the 7th Fujitsu Cup reenacted the scene of the sixth edition, and the South Korean double males Yoo Chang-hyuk and Cho Kao-hyun passed the game hand in hand with two Japanese chess players, once again monopolizing the right to the final, which embarrassed the then Go kingdom of Japan.
The two Japanese super-first players who lost the semi-finals were Lin Haifeng and Cho Ji-hoon, who were the winners of the third and fourth Fujitsu Cups, respectively, and had expected to win twice, but they were helpless to fight for the third and fourth places before the battle against the Korean Iron Horse.
As mentioned earlier, the third place battle of the Fujitsu Cup is of considerable significance, and the third place can directly participate in the next tournament and does not occupy the national quota. However, for The Japanese Super First-class Chess Players who hold the title, they basically do not have to worry about the qualification problem. Especially at that time, Zhao Zhixun was still in his prime, that year he had just won the chess saint laurel from Koichi Koichi Kobayashi, ranking first in Japan, as long as he himself was willing, the qualification for the World Series was ironclad, and the fujitsu Cup third place was indeed like a chicken rib for him.
Lin Haifeng and Zhao Zhixun are not Japanese chess players, they are representative figures of Taiwanese chess players in Japan and South Korea in Japan, respectively, and have won countless honors in the Japanese chess world for decades. In terms of age, Mr. Lin's eldest Zhao Zhixun is 14 years old, and the two have a good relationship. In 1962, at the age of 6, Ji Hoon went to Japan to study the game and worshiped under Mr. Kitani. Coinciding with the celebration of the total number of disciples under Mugu Gate reaching the hundred duan, Lin Haifeng, who was already famous in the chess world at that time, gave the fifth son and Zhao Zhixun a commemorative guidance chess game, and the result was that Zhao Zhixun won the 118 hand game, which made people shout "prodigy".
As Zhao Zhixun lived up to expectations and grew into the top chess player in the Japanese chess world, he had many heavyweight duels with Lin Haifeng, who has always rushed to the forefront of the chess battle, and the two left several classic battles of chess confrontation.
In the 1983 Benyinfang Challenge, Lin Haifeng completed the great reversal with four consecutive victories in a desperate situation of three consecutive defeats, and won the laurel from Zhao Zhixun's hands, which stunned the "Zhixun of Perseverance".
In the following year's Chess Saint Challenge, Lin Haifeng fought Again against Zhao Zhixun, and after three consecutive defeats, he pulled two cities in a row, but in the sixth game, Zhao Zhixun stabilized his position, won the half-eye victory, and did not let the tragedy repeat itself.
In the 1989 Ten-Stage Challenge, Zhao Zhixun repelled Lin Haifeng's defense 3-0; at the end of that year, Lin Haifeng captured Zhao Zhixun 3-2, won the Title of Tianyuan for the first time, and then completed five consecutive championships.
The seven chess battle challenges were faced against each other four times, all of which were Lin Haifeng's challenge to Zhao Zhixun, and the result was two victories each, which was equally divided. However, combined with the battle records of other competitions, Zhao Zhixun's overall score is still dominant, and the winning rate is close to 60%.
But on the World Series stage, it was a different story. In the first Fujitsu Cup quarterfinals in 1988, Lin Haifeng defeated Zhao Zhixun with 176 hands, which was Zhao Zhixun's first defeat in the World Series. In the semi-finals of the 3rd Toyo Securities Cup in 1991, Mr. Lin expelled Ji Hoon from the final with two clean wins in the middle of the game. At the time, the impression was that in the world series duel, the older Mr. Lin seemed to have a stronger desire for victory.
The seventh Fujitsu Cup third place battle is the fourth meeting between the two super-first-class world championships, and with the nature of this game, Zhao Zhixun will not pay more attention to it than the first three chess games.

Zhao Zhixun had no fighting spirit at all, and he played quite casually and simply lost. It was his four-game losing streak against Lin Haifeng in the World Series and the beginning of his three-game losing streak in the Fujitsu Cup third place battle. For the "chicken ribs", Zhixun's attitude is to abandon it at all costs.
Lin Haifeng won the third place, so far he gathered the Fujitsu Cup champion and runner-up, and mr. Lin, who was 52 years old at the time, still had a strong competitiveness.
Since then, Zhao Zhixun and Lin Haifeng have been fighting in the front line of major competitions, and so far, their total number of victories in the official game has ranked first and second in the Japanese chess world, and they are all brilliant figures in the history of chess.
