Rui Naiwei and Hu Yaoyu attacked the White Fang Dragon without mercy. After Bai 140 hands, it was originally Rui Naiwei's turn to fall, but Hu Yaoyu saw that his partner hesitated to drop the son, so he deliberately grabbed a hand, although he was punished with 1 son, but the slaughter of the dragon was successful, and the Jiangxi team quickly conceded defeat.

For winning the first gold of Go at the National Games, Rui Naiwei bluntly said that he was a little surprised, "Mainly thanks to my partner Hu Yaoyu." And Hu Yaoyu hurriedly said: "I am entrusted with the blessing of Elder Rui." When asked how many times he participated in the National Games and won the gold medal, Rui Naiwei, who now often competes with his grandchildren' chess players, can't remember clearly, "I remember that I also won a gold medal (women's individual competition) in the last session, and I have participated in it several times earlier." Hu Yaoyu remembers his experience at the National Games. "The last time and first time I attended the National Games was the Seventh Games, when I was 11 years old. I took the silver medal that time, and I won the gold medal after 28 years! ”

Shanghai coach Liu Shizhen said the gold medal was a bonus, with the goal before the game to be in the top eight. The two did not cooperate before the game, and only practiced a set with the Jiangxi team after coming to Hefei, but they did not expect that the championship and runner-up finals would become a recurrence of the training match. He praised the performance of this gold medal combination, saying that they have a natural degree of tacit understanding, "many players say that from the content of the chess, it is better than one person."
