On September 28, the 2023 Asian Games Go men's individual competition ended in Hangzhou, and the gold medal final Chinese Ke Jie Jiudan Jiubai lost 3/4 to Chinese Taipei Xu Haowei Jiudan, Xu Haowei won the gold medal, and Ke Jie won the silver medal; In the bronze medal final, South Korea's Shin Jin-jin Kudan defeated Japan's Yili Liao Kudan, Shin Jin-chen won the bronze medal, and Yili-liao finished fourth.
In the semifinals, Ke Jie defeated Yiliao
In the semifinals, Ke Jie fought again, and the two played a set in the group stage, and Ke Jie won. In this semifinal, Hei Liliao had a problem hand on the left early, and was broken by the white chess in the lower left, and the black chess was already defeated by 80 hands. Later, Ke Jie showed the ability to operate safely that was rare in recent times, and finally successfully reached the final.
In the semifinals, Xu Haowei and Nick Shen Zhenzhen
In the other semifinal, Shin Zhenzhen faced Xu Haowei. After entering the middle game, the black chess player "wrench" in the middle of the game was wrong, and then the second wrench above was not essential, and the white chess gradually controlled the situation until it pushed the winning rate to more than 95%. The official stage is a slightly better situation in fine chess, but Xu Haowei's "beating general" all the way up on the right lost 1 eye, almost ruining the good situation. Fortunately, the first person in the back of the treasure island grasped it well, and maintained the slight half-eye advantage until the end.
Final site
Originally thought that Xu Haowei's victory over Shen Zhenzhen in the semifinals was already the focus of the whole day, and it was expected that the championship and runner-up final in the afternoon would be the real big drama of Go at the Asian Games. Xu Haoqi held black to Ke Jie, the change on the left side of the prologue felt that Xu Haowei had researched, Ke Jie took two consecutive steps of problem hands, and black chess took the initiative in one fell swoop.
Black Chess gets off to a fantastic start
After getting a dream start, I feel that the black chess is entangled and attacks the white chess, and it is easy to play left and right. Under the unfavorable situation, Ke Jieshi showed the "bending" tactic that he was good at, and finally stunned Xu Haoqi, and the black chess played several unincomprehensible moves in the upper and middle abdomen, originally black attacked white, but the black himself became the target of the white chess attack, and the situation was reversed.
White chess successfully reversed the situation
But at this time, the white chess advantage is not large, seeing that it is close to the end of the victory, Ke Jie made a serious problem hand of 180 after the long examination.
180 is not as big as 181
When Xu Haowei 195 jumped on the upper left, Ke Jie missed the last opportunity to bite, and as a result, Xu Haowei went to 199, and the black laid a small victory.
196 If you go 199, the winner or loser is undecided
In this way, Xu Haowei won the gold medal in the men's individual competition of the Asian Games. By the way: many people say that Shin Zhenzhen will go to military service if he does not win the Asian Games gold medal, but it is not accurate. Before the Asian Games, Shin Jin-hyun had applied for exemption from military service in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations on military service in South Korea.
Shin Zhenzhen defeated Yiliao and won the bronze medal
At this point, the 2023 Asian Games Go men's individual competition is all over, the men's and women's team competitions will start on the 29th, and Yicheng.com will continue to broadcast chess live music. (Qu Jiang Live photo: Sina Sports)
