Samsung Cup Quarterfinals Evolution Chart: Four matches played simultaneously on the 26th
Yang Dingxin vs Li Changxi, Shen Zhenchen vs Han Shengzhou, the protagonists of these two tournaments, Yang and Shen Qi fans are familiar with each other, but Li Changxi and Han Shengzhou are relatively unfamiliar, and the two were born in the same 96 years, that is, the same age as Mi Fan. Although it is not the first time to enter the World Series, it has only had two sporadic participation records in the past. This year's Samsung Cup is based on the South Korean domestic pre-selection line, the two are in good shape recently, ranking 9th in the Korean ranking and 15th in the best state of their careers. Currently in the quarterfinals of the Samsung Cup, it is also the best result in the world competition.
Korean Match room scene:
At the front of the camera is Shin Jin-chan's opponent, Han Shengzhou, who has reached the world quarterfinals for the first time. Slightly flustered before the game, after taking off the coat, take a long deep breath to ease the tension.
Then take out the "sharp weapon" prepared before the game from the bag he carries.
It turned out to be eye drops, and after the eyes were lit, take a deep, deep breath.
The camera turns to South Korea's first person Shin Jin-chan, Shin Jin-chan Xiao Han Sheng-zhou, 4 years old, participated in the World Championship for the 22nd time, has previously reached the final six times, has two crowns and three Asian championships (the Final of the Ying Cup has not yet been held) 2 times Four Finals and 5 Times Eight Finals, that is, this year's Samsung Cup is Shin Jin-chan's 14th Quarterfinals (and this year's LG Cup Quarterfinals have not yet started). Before the game, only a little neck exercise was seen, which is estimated to be one of the trainings of the Korean team specifically for the online game, and the warm-up action of staring at the screen for a long time.
The difference between the first and the 14th world quarterfinals is here.
Young Chinese chess players rarely have the opportunity to participate in the world championship, if they are not born with excellent psychological quality, otherwise they will suffer a lot in the world competition. Shen Zhenchen became famous very early, the world competition results are two or three years later than Ke Jie and other super first-class, psychological quality after many years of competition exercise to have today's achievements, last year's Samsung Cup slide will not be a matter of luck alone.
Shen Zhenchen and Han Shengzhou have no winning or losing chess game:
The game was then interrupted after 27 hands, and a replay was announced.
After a not-so-complicated formula in the upper left corner, just 27 hands of absolute art have given Shen Zhenchen a 76% winning rate, and Zhang Xuebin's six paragraphs of the explanation, "Don't look at the absolute art, I can't see who is good", I believe Han Shengzhou must not be able to see, otherwise he would not choose this change. I'm afraid I'll have to be glad to have a rematch after the game, but will I still be as nervous today as yesterday?
