Special correspondent Coca reports On November 15, the first match of the semifinals of the 27th LG Cup Chosun Ilbo Chess King Tournament ended online, and Chinese chess player Ding Hao Jiudan defeated South Korean player Jiang Dongrun Jiudan in 121 hand sets, and advanced to the final first. After yesterday he set his best career record reaching the last four of the World Series, today he once again set his own record for the tournament.
Ding Hao nine dan in the game
The previous two journeys of this LG Cup: Ding Hao 9 dan directly entered the round of 16, and won Kim Ji Seok 9 dan and Kim Myung Hun 9 dan to enter the final four for the first time; Kang Dong-run Kudan started in the round of 24, defeated Cho Hancheng Kudan and Park Tinghuan 9 dan in a row to advance to the quarterfinals, and then defeated Ke Jie Kudan in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinals after the 20th LG Cup in 2015. Ding Hao and Jiang Dongrun had previously met in the 2017 LG Cup qualifier semifinals, and Jiang Dongrun won.
Jiang Dongrun Kudan in the game
When the black Ding Hao went deep into the white space on the lower left, it was only a few minutes before the start time, and the fall was very fast, showing a very different state from the previous day. After the black chess piece easily lived on the lower left, Jiang Dongrun had to do the same, and he also concocted it deeply, deeply into the upper plate black array, just like a boat in the ocean.

After several hands were handed over, because the black momentum was too large, he pressed the gourd and started the scoop, and the big appearance of the right disc rose again. Jiang Dongrun couldn't care about the dilemma that the white chess board on the side had not yet been done, and he went deep into the black sky on the right side in a hurry. After painstakingly planning and maneuvering, he showed all he had learned, such as "digging by God" and rolling and packing, and other means were frequently produced, and the results were very effective. When it was not possible, Ding Hao sent out two questioning hands in a row, giving Jiang Dongrun the opportunity to turn around and seek a big transformation.

However, Jiang Dongrun finally couldn't give up the three melons and two dates in his mid-abdomen, and the winning rate decreased after even returning. The white block in the mid-abdomen is group-like condensation, and more than ten chess pieces are bulky in shape, without a single eye, laying the seeds for the quick defeat of this chess game.
The focus of the battle situation moved to the bottom right, Ding Hao handed over the full score answer sheet after the long examination, did not seek to live on the spot, but flexibly abandoned the son, and quickly closed the army when he made a profit first, focusing the battle situation on attacking the white big piece of chess. Black chess is fantastic, relying on thick momentum to attack, while attacking while surrounding the left plate big space, happy.

Contrary to Jin Mingxun Jiudan in the quarterfinals the day before, who was not good at downwind chess, Jiang Dongrun Jiudan has never liked headwind chess, and Yi Xingshan hastily admitted defeat to him not once or twice. Sure enough, under the unilateral passive beating, Jiang Dongrun was unwilling to be humiliated and readily admitted defeat. In this situation, I can't help but think of the huge advantage of the eight finals Ke Jie against Jiang Dongrun, if he operates safely for a few more hands, the result will be imaginable.
Endgame
In this way, Ding Hao advanced to the LG Cup final, and tomorrow's second semi-final match will be played between Yang Dingxin Kudan and defending champion Shin Zhenzhen Kudan, after the two had a record of 5-7 behind Yang Dingxin. The prizes for the LG Cup champions and runners-up are 300 million won and 100 million won, the semifinalists are 24 million won, the quarterfinals are 12 million won, the top 16 is 6 million won, and the top 24 is 4 million won. In the previous 26 LG Cups, Chinese players won the championship 11 times, Korean players 12 times (the last three consecutive championships), Japanese players 2 times, and Chinese Taipei players 1 time.
