Chinese chess players suffered a lot of setbacks in the first round of the 27th Samsung Cup World Go Masters, which made the melon-eating masses feel depressed.
Ke Jie, who ranked first in the ranking, Li Xuanhao, who ranked second, and Yu Yuting, who ranked fifth, lost to Park Tinghuan, Kim Myung-hoon, and Shin Jin-hyun respectively, and were all eliminated. In addition, Dang Yifei , Zhao Chenyu and Yu Zhiying were also defeated by their opponents and could only return home.
In view of this, many chess fans and friends feel pessimistic and disappointed, feeling that the national players are the general trend in this Samsung Cup. So, will this really be the ending?
Tan Xiao and Park Tinghuan
At present, China, Japan, South Korea and Chinese Taipei have 5, 3, 7 and 1 chess players each reached the round of 16, and the specific battle situation is: on October 31, Gu Zihao VS Bian Xiangyi, Tang Weixing VS Jin Mingxun, Xu Haoqi VS Kim Zhixi, Yiliao VS Cui Jing.
The four games on November 1 are: Fan Tingyu vs Shin Jin-hyun, Tan Xiao vs Park Ting-hwan, Yang Dingxin vs Xu Jiayuan, and Zhongyi Pansy vs Lee Jiong-jin.
The author will analyze the winning trend of this Samsung Cup. First, one of the Korean troikas, Toad Gong Zigui. In view of the fact that Shin Min-joon and Kang Dong-yun are out, Shin Jin-hyun, Bian Sang-il and Park Yong-hwan have become the main force of the South Korean team's eventual cup win, because the defending champion Park Yong-hwan is "old" and unstable, so Shin Jin-hyun and Bian Sang-il are our strong rivals, especially the world's first man Shin Jin-hyun today. Four other chess players, including Kim Myung-hoon, Kim Ji-suk, Choi Jing, and Lee Kyung-jin, may be able to play the role of snipers, but they are unlikely to ascend to the throne if they are not strong enough.
The second possibility is that one of China's current five masters, Fan Tingyu, Gu Zihao, Yang Dingxin, Tang Weixing, and Tan Xiao, rose to the fore and finally passed the pass to win the championship trophy. Among them, Boss Fan, Ding Ye and Gu Ba are more likely than the 29-year-old Tang Weixing, while Tan Xiao is almost impossible because his record has been declining in recent years.
Fan Tingyu and Shin Zhenzhen
The second round of 16 match between Fan Tingyu and Shin Zhenzhen on November 1 is a crucial match, and if Fan Tingyu has the help to cut Shin Zhenzhen under the horse, then the chances of the national player winning the championship are greatly increased, and vice versa.
The third possibility is that the Chinese chess players will be defeated, completely wiped out, and even fail to make it to the final four. The second round is similar to the first round, and it is a violent collision between the elites of China and South Korea. In addition to Yang Dingxin vs. Japan's Xu Jiayuan, the other four players will meet South Korea's fierce rivals. Since the Chinese side has already lost three generals, the loss of the Korean chess academy is obviously small, so the Chinese chess players in the second round cannot afford to be missed.
In addition to the battle of Fan Shen, if Tan Xiao can't stop Park Tinghuan, Koo Zihao can't block Bian Xiangyi from the door of the quarterfinals, and Tang Weixing is not able to capture Jin Mingxun, then the Chinese team will be in danger, not to mention the semifinals, I'm afraid it will be enough to enter the quarterfinals.
Gu Zihao nine paragraphs
At present, when the South Korean side is making a huge momentum, the Korean legion represented by Shin Jin-hyun and Park Yong-hwan has occupied the throne in the world chess world. Since last year, South Korea has won four titles in the five World Go tournaments that have ended, namely Shin Minjun's 26th LG Cup, Shin Jin-hyun's 13th Chunlan Cup and 26th LG Cup, Park Yong-hwan's 26th Samsung Cup, while China only Yuting won the fourth Dream Lily Cup crown, and the ratio of the number of world championships between China and South Korea is 1:4, and we are in a situation where we are far behind.
Under this grim situation, can one of the four masters of Chinese Go in this Samsung Cup, Fan Tingyu, Gu Zihao, Yang Dingxin, and Tang Weixing stand up and turn the tide?
The author's point is that there is indeed little hope, but it is not without a little possibility!
