On June 13, the 2023 Belt and Road "Xie Xiaxun Chess King Cup" Xiangqi International Open Championship continued to be held in Pingyang County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The Grandmaster Group competed in rounds 5-6, with the top two aliens Wang Tianyi and Jade-faced Buddha Jiang Chuan advancing to tomorrow's final. The alien Wang Tianyi abandoned his horse and defeated the uncrowned king Meng Chen with his back hand, which is impressive. Meng Chen recently lost to Wang Tianyi in the final of the national individual competition, and missed the champion of Chao Sixi, and this time his dream was shattered in the hands of Wang Tianyi. In the open group battle 9-12 rounds, Guangdong Master Cheng Yudong and Jiangsu Sun Yiyang Extra Datong accumulated 19 points, Cheng Yudong ranked first due to the opponent's point advantage, Sun Yiyang second, these two advanced to tomorrow's final.
The event is sponsored by the Chess and Card Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports, the Chinese Xiangqi Association, supported by the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau, organized by the Zhejiang Intellectual Sports Management Center, Wenzhou Sports Bureau, Pingyang County People's Government, Pingyang County Culture and Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau, Pingyang County Xingyang Holding Group Co., Ltd., Kunyang Town People's Government, Tengjiao Town People's Government, Wenzhou Xiangqi Association and Pingyang County Xiangqi Association.
The tournament came to the final stage. The pre-match points situation of the fifth round of the Morning Grandmaster Group are: Meng Chen 6 points, Jiang Chuan 6 points, Wang Tianyi 5 points, Zhao Jincheng 5 points, Cao Yanlei 5 points, Huang Zhufeng 5 points, Zhao Xinxin 4 points, Sun Yongzheng 4 points, Xu Guoyi 4 points, Zuo Wenjing 4 points, Lu Weitao 3 points, Liu Jue 3 points, Tang Sinan 3 points, Wu Kexin 3 points, Liang Yanting 3 points, Zhang Tingting 1 point.
Wang Tianyi, Zhao Jincheng, Cao Yanlei, and Huang Zhufeng in the second group must exert their strength to have any hope of advancing to the final, and the chess players after the second group have no hope of progressing.
Meng Chen took the lead in alien Wang Tianyi. Meng Chen's dream was shattered at the hands of Wang Tianyi in the national individual competition final not long ago, can he avenge this time?
Meng Chen used five or six cannons to attack Wang Tianyi's screen horse. Soon after the layout, Wang Tianyi abandoned the horse and competed for the lead. Mengte's big car jammed the elephant eye too quickly, causing the situation to take a sharp turn. At this time, the car should be flattened and the horse should be preserved, and the advantage of many children should be firmly waited.
Soon, after Wang Tianyi recovered his lost son, he took advantage of the weakness of the red horse and blitzed left and right with both cars, taking advantage of everything. Meng Chen's big red horse dodged left and right, exhausted.
In the end, Meng Chen's position was leaking everywhere, and Wang Tianyi puffed up one by one, the big car plugged his eyes, stretched out his left cannon to hit the middle phase, and hammered the final sound.
Jade-faced god Buddha Jiang Chuan took the lead against Master Huang Zhufeng. Jiang Te Dahe, who is ahead in points in this game, can afford it, while Master Huang can afford to win the sixth round in the afternoon, whether he can enter the top two depends on the face of the other person. Although this tournament has been held for many times, it is the second time that a professional group has been established. In the first competition, Jiang Teda, who fought locally, was reversed by the young hero Zheng Weitong when he went down first, and the champion fell and was depressed. Jiang Teda, who fought in this year's local battle, is aiming to win the championship and is currently ranked first, and the situation is good.
Jiang Teda obviously felt the pressure from his opponent, and the layout stage was frequently examined. Master Huang is deep and high, and the formation is full of elasticity. Master Huang's layout is well prepared, the drop is fast, and he quickly reverses. Jiang Teda broke away from the opponent's preparation with a cannon two into three, and Master Huang also fell into the long exam. After the long exam, Master Huang drew 2 and 7, accumulated strength, and continued to put pressure on his opponent. At the critical time, Master Huang was not good with seven into nine, and Jiang Teda immediately entered the car and retreated the horse, easily defusing the opponent's attack. After the following exchange of horses, the situation was stable, the pressure on the red side was relieved, and the final draw was achieved.
The rest of the battle situation in this round of the special group: Zhao Jincheng fought against Cao Yanlei, Zhao Xinxin fought against Sun Yongzheng, Zuo Wenjing lost to Xu Guoyi, Liu Yu fought against Tang Sinan, Lu Weitao fought against Wu Kexin, Liang Yanting fought against Zhang Tingting.
After this round, Wang Tianyi and Jiang Chuan scored 7 points, Wang Tianyi ranked first with the advantage of opponent points, and Jiang Chuan second. Although the third-ranked abandoned master Cao Yanlei is 1 point less, his opponent has an advantage, but unfortunately, the opponent in the sixth round in the afternoon is Sun Yongzheng, who has few points, so in the sixth round, Wang Tianyi and Jiang Chuan can advance hand in hand as long as they draw the two, and the stone cannot advance even if he wins.
In the sixth round of the afternoon, as expected, Wang Tianyi and Jiang Chuan made a tacit peace, ended the battle early, and both advanced to the final.
Other battles in the sixth round of the special group: Xu Guoyiping, Zhao Jincheng, Huang Zhufeng, Sheng Mengchen, Cao Yanlei, Ping, Sun Yongzheng, Wu Kexin, Zhao Xinxin, Tang Sinanping, Zuo Wenjing, Liu Yuping, Liang Yanting, Zhang Tingting, Ping, Lu Weitao.
