On April 26, in the 9th Quzhou Rotten Ke Cup Quarterfinals, defending champion Xu Jiayang won the world champion Shi Yue in 148 hands and reached the final four, and if he can successfully defend his title, he will become the first chess player in the history of the Rotten Ke Cup to successfully defend the title. Another extremely dazzling rookie, Wang Xinghao, regrettably lost to Fan Tingyu and missed the final four.
The Rotten Ke Cup can be called the waterloo of the master, and the top ten chess players in China, in addition to Fan Tingyu at the 6th, Li Weiqing at the 7th and Xie Ke at the 10th, have fallen, especially the top three Ke Jie, Ding Hao, Gu Zihao and Mi Yuting, all of whom were eliminated in the first round. As the defending champion, Xu Jiayang is also full of dangers all the way, the first round he encountered the tenacious Fan Yin, the battle of 218 hands only with the advantage of stickers to let the opponent admit defeat, the second round of 16 rounds he encountered Huang Yunsong, this is and he ended in the end, "pan intestine war" 332 hands, only to win the opponent with a half-purpose advantage, it can be described as a huge consumption, this round also encountered the world champion Shi Yue, a dragon fight can not be avoided.
Xu Jiayang's opponent in this game was the 2013 LG Cup champion, and also won the then Korean main player Park Tinghuan as the Chinese main player in the next Nongshim Cup, helping the Chinese team to win the championship of that nongshim Cup, before the rise of Ke Jie, he has been the first person in China's grade score, and shi Yue chess style is wide open, killing the big dragon without a word, known as "one dragon per game", and the record of the two is that Shi Yue led Xu Jiayang 3-1, which will be a fierce battle for Xu Jiayang.
When the game was black, Shi Yue started out of the recently rare two-star start, while Xu Jiayang started with a small star. In the prologue stage, the black chess pieces got to the field on the left, and built a very considerable big appearance on the right side, while the white got four corners of the field, and 44 hands were strong in the right white chess form, and the 57 hands and 59 hands of the black chess pieces in the battle did not walk in the most fierce battle key, and the white chess piece 60 jumped away, successfully took away the field in the white right shape, mastered the initiative, and the winning rate was as high as 85%. Then the 81 hands of the black chess piece jumped up on the top, and then in the big air on the left side, but Bai Yi drew the gourd, and the 92 hands to 110 hands moved in the second and third ways, and the root dug up the field of the black chess. At this time, black chess is lagging behind white chess in the field, not to mention the sticker. Moreover, the mid-abdomen looked like a leaking wind everywhere, and was painfully scavenged like a white chess razor, fighting to 148 hands, only to admit defeat. Xu Jiayang laid the foundation for victory in two battles in this game, which can be called "two battles and a definite clean slate".
In several other matches, the recently popular 18-year-old Wang Xinghao made a mistake in the first half of the set and the winning rate was once 90%, 129 hands out of the slow hand, 151 in the battle and miscalculated led to the slaughter of the big dragon, and finally was stubbornly reversed by another world champion Fan Tingyu, regrettably missing the final four. Rank 7 Li Weiqing lost to Li Xuanhao, rank 10 Xie Ke was defeated by Dang Yifei, so far of the top ten strong people in the rank only Fan Tingyu into the top four, the other three are the 12th Dang Yifei, the 14th Li Xuanhao and the 17th Xu Jiayang, this rotten Ke Cup can be called a situation of chaos, and see if Xu Jiayang can successfully win the championship and create new history.
