On April 23, the Quzhou Rotten Ke Cup Chinese Go Championship kicked off at the Oriental Hotel in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and in the first round of the Round of 32, China's first man Ke Jie lost to Liao Yuanhe Baduan in 174 hands, regrettably eliminated in the first round, and had to awkwardly accept the situation of "one round tour".
The Quzhou Rotten Ke Cup canceled the qualifiers due to the epidemic, designated the top 31 players in the Chinese Go ranking score, and a chess player with the highest ranking score under the age of 18 to participate in the competition, while the defending champion Xu Jiayang and the previous runner-up Yang Dingxin happened to be among them, and Ke Jie, as the first person in China's ranking score for many years, was naturally directly selected to the top 32. After the lottery, his opponent is the post-00 chess player Liao Yuanhe Baduan. Liao Yuanhe is one of The Seven Little Dragons of China's famous post-00s, and his strength is no less than that of the emerging post-00s chess players such as Xie Ke, Ding Hao, and Li Weiqing.
For Ke Jie, Liao Yuanhe did not cause him any trouble, the two first 6 encounters in this battle, Ke Jie won a complete victory, but the most recent meeting was in November 2019, the location is also in Quzhou, the two met in the first round of the Wisdom Games, Ke Jie soldiers defeated Liao Yuanhe without bloodshed. However, at that time, it was 2 and a half years since now, the rise of Liao Yuanhe in the past two years is very obvious, it is the rising period, on the contrary, Ke Jie, the record in the past year is not outstanding, this and the other, Liao Yuanhe has become Ke Jie's fierce enemy.
In this game, Ke Jie drew a black chess piece, and he started with a wrong small eye, while Liao Yuanhe should start with a small eye. The prologue black chess is more active, in the lower right to get to the field, but also the white chess thick potential is vaguely bound, but the upper right black 49 hands of the big fly demolition is a bit excessive, the white chess piece seizes the opportunity to play 50 hands, and after that, the black 55 hand retreat is the problem hand, the white chess is rushed down to eat the right three sons, and since then the initiative of the chess game has been in the hands of the white chess. After the white chess took advantage of it, it did not stop there, and surrounded the appearance in the middle abdomen, so that the black chess piece that occupied the three corners of the land was always not close enough, and finally fought to 174 hands, and the black chess piece had to admit defeat. Liao Yuanhe performed perfectly in this game, seeing the opportunity and immediately bayoneted red, and did not give Ke Jie any chance after that, which can be called a complete victory. And this is also another embarrassing "round trip" in the official game after the Recent Ah Han Tong Shan Cup and the Big Chess Player Battle.
Since Ke Jie began to participate in this event in 2014, it has impacted the competition 6 times so far, but has never won the championship, in the 6th and 7th competitions, Ke Jie also entered the final twice, but lost to Mi Yuting and Tan Xiao, and did not win the championship. And the "rotten Ke" in the name of this tournament is also considered to be the reason for the "collision" with Ke Jie... Last year, Ke Jie returned for the first time after becoming a world champion, missed the world championship, and his status has been declining, so he has also received a lot of criticism. I also hope that Ke Jie will regain her strength and regain her strength in international competitions and win more championships.
