On February 1, in the second game of the 27th LG Cup World Go King Tournament Sanban Final, Chinese post-00s player Ding Hao defeated Yang Dingxin in the black half of the game and won the championship with a score of 2-0. Ding Hao became the 23rd world champion of Chinese Go and the first post-00s world champion.
Born in 1998, Yang Dingxin has reached three World Series finals and won the 23rd LG Cup in 2019. The 23-year-old Ding Hao is playing for the world championship for the first time.
After Ding Hao won the first game of the final, Yang Dingxin has been forced to the edge of the cliff. In the second game, Ding Hao took the lead and Yang Dingxin took the lead in provoking the battle. Perhaps due to the mentality of rushing to equalize the score, Yang Ding's new move is slightly blunt, while Ding Hao responds calmly and gradually gains the advantage.
Yang Dingxin woke up like a dream after "sleepwalking" for a while, and began to launch a fierce attack, but he was eager to become a chess player. At this time, Ding Hao also made a mistake and failed to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop. The situation became complicated, and Yang Dingxin was walking on thin ice and trying his best to hold on. After the competition in the official stage, Ding Hao finally won a small victory.
With this victory, Chinese players have won the LG Cup 12 times, drawing with South Korean chess players. South Korean post-00s chess player Shin Jinjin, who is the same age as Ding Hao, was crowned world champion for the first time in the LG Cup and is now a four-time champion. After Xie Ke reached the World Series final twice, Chinese post-00s chess players appeared on the world final stage for the third time, and finally Ding Hao broke the window paper.
Ding Hao reached the top of the LG Cup and won the first championship of the new year for Chinese Go. After the long-lost World Chess Battle Face Chess Final, this year's domestic and foreign Go competitions will return in an all-round way, and we look forward to more wonderful performances from Chinese players.
