China News Network Hai, September 28 (Reporter Miao Lu) After 4 days of competition, the first "Shanghai Cup" Chess Masters Open Tournament ended on the 28th. In the professional group competition that ended on the same day, Cao Yanlei defeated Jiang Chuan through the overtime super fast chess to win the professional men's group championship, and Tang Dan won the professional women's group championship.
In yesterday afternoon's cross-knockout match, Cao Yanlei and Jiang Chuan won Shen Peng and Wang Tianyi respectively through overtime super fast chess to meet in the final. In the first set of today's final, Cao Yanlei took the lead against Jiang Chuan, and he continued to use the layout of the middle cannon that defeated Shen Peng yesterday, and Jiang Chuan chose to grab 7 pawns and avoid the three-soldier system. Cao Yanlei thought about it a little, waved the car across the river and then jumped up the left horse, and the two sides formed a classic formation of the seven-way horse of the middle artillery crossing the river car against the two-headed snake of the screen horse. The black side was fully prepared, the red side layout failed to take advantage, and the central bureau after a major exchange formed a remnant of the horse artillery against the horse artillery pawn and the black side with a slightly better position. After a slight entanglement between the two sides, Mingjin collected the troops.
In the second game, the two sides switched to the first game of quick chess. Jiang Chuan also took the position of the middle artillery into the three soldiers, and the two sides moved quickly. To the middle of the game, the red side is ingenious, the red cannon repeatedly aimed at the black side double elephant in the third and middle roads, the black side was forced to cope with the pressure poorly, and the red side gained the advantage, and after an exchange, it entered the endgame of the horse artillery double soldiers and pawns, and the red square sub-force position was excellent. However, due to the tight time of the two sides, first the red side suddenly miscalculated and was eaten by the black side and the white soldier, and then the black side horse was captured by the red side, and after several twists and turns, the 116 rounds formed a fragment of the horse cannon single missing relative to the black square cannon double elephant. Although the Red Side was about to win the 190 rounds after a long battle, it had already exceeded the number of rounds that were naturally present in 50 rounds. Cao Yanlei once again escaped with tenacious willpower after yesterday's confrontation with Shen Peng, dragging the championship suspense into the super fast chess.
In the third set, the two sides once again switched to play super fast chess. Cao Yanlei grabbed the three soldiers this time, the two sides were familiar with the road, and once again evolved into the three-step tiger opening of Cao Yanlei against Shen Peng yesterday, but Jiang Chuan was also prepared for this layout, and the red side failed to take advantage of the opportunity. The two sides exchanged a big exchange of central bureaus, forming a remnant of the car and horse double soldiers and soldiers against the car cannon 3 pawns xiang quan, although the black side temporarily had one more pawn, but the red side of the car and horse position was good, the two sides shook hands again and made peace.
The fourth game of the final takes a play-off, the red side is 6 minutes, the black side is 4 minutes, each step is added to 3 seconds, and the chess black wins. The play-offs are decided by the draw of lots between the two sides, Jiang Chuan has a large number of draw points, and he chooses to hold the backhand, as long as the top and the sum can win the championship. In the decisive battle of life and death, Cao Yanlei adopted the layout of the immortals who were best at guiding the way, and Jiang Chuan should be the pawn. Because Cao Yanlei must win to win the championship, the Red Side performed the Prancing Horse pan river in the 5th round, intending to win by surprise. The black side is pressed for time, and the beginning has not been able to think carefully, so that the red side has achieved a lot of advantages. The black side simplified the situation as much as possible, and after some exchanges, a mess was formed in which the three soldiers of the red car artillery were all against the black car cannon and the double pawns. At first glance, it seems that there is only one more soldier in the sub-force, but the red cannon town middle road, the car locks the door, and there are cross-river soldiers participating in the battle, the situation on the black side is not optimistic. Sure enough, the red car knocked the black party veteran up to the second floor through blitzkrieg, and then took advantage of the poor position of the black car to rush into the ninth house, and the black side was difficult to defend, and regrettably lost. In the end, Cao Yanlei won the championship after 4 sets of battles, and defeated Jiang Chuan in the play-offs to win the championship, and Jiang Chuan won the second place.
In the professional women's group, due to the large lead of Tang Dan before the game, as long as the game is undefeated, it can win the championship, so Tang Dan did not provoke a war in this game, and although the black side was slightly better, it failed to make a breakthrough. In the end, Tang Dan drew with Chen Xinglin and successfully won the championship. Wang Linna and Zuo Wenjing finished second and third respectively.
In the overseas competition, Malaysia's Li Dezhi, Britain's Tian He and Germany's Xue Handi won the top three men's places, and the top three women's were Vietnam's Huang Haiping, Singapore's Wu Lanxiang and Australia's Bao Yuchen.
