On November 3, the 26th Samsung Cup World Go Masters Tri-Game Final Decider ended in South Korea. After a fierce battle of 166 hands, the 28-year-old Korean veteran Park Tinghuan won the ninth dan of the ninth dan of the ranking of Shin Jin-hyun, the former Korean brother Park Tinghuan dreamed of the three-star cup, and won his fifth world championship.
Park Young-hwan
This Samsung Cup, in this stage of the competition, is all online battles, and in the fierce final four battles, it is also two "China-South Korea dialogue". Helplessly, Cho Chen-woo lost to Park Tinghuan, Yang Dingxin lost to Shin Jin-chan, and South Korean players won the championship and runner-up again in advance since the final of the 12th Samsung Cup lee sedol and Park Yong training division in 2007. At the same time, it is also the first time since 2007 that no Chinese chess player has entered the final of the Samsung Cup.
Although it is two Korean chess players competing for the championship, this is also the top two competitions in The Korean rankings. It is worth mentioning that on October 5, the Korean Chess Academy routinely announced the latest edition of the ranking rankings, and Shin Jin-chan score rose to 10285, surpassing the 10266 he himself set in March 2020, once again breaking the record for the highest level score in The history of South Korea, and he was the 22nd consecutive month, the 30th month in total.
Shen Zhenchen
Since last year, Shin Jin-chan created the myth of the "Shin Jin-chan Year", and his annual winning percentage in 2020 is close to 90%, and he is also shouted by Korean chess fans as "the new world first". However, in the final of the Three Star Cup last year, it was Ke Jie who defeated Shin Jin-chan in three pieces of chess, and returned to the final after a year, and the opponent became the former brother Park Tinghuan.
This time the two met, and the pre-match prediction could be described as one-sided. After all, last year, Park Ting-hwan and Shin Jin-chan's seven-game game of chess was a 0:7 fiasco. If according to the system of promotion and descent of juban chess, this will probably be lowered by two levels, and Shin Jin-chan wants to let Park Tinghuan have two sons. Almost everyone felt that it was difficult for Park Tinghuan to make a comeback, and in addition, Shin Jin-hyun also made a bold statement that "this year's chess will not be lost".
In the first game of the three pieces, Shin Jin-hyun also won smoothly, looking only one step away from his third crown, but Park Tinghuan showed strong resilience. As the leader of Lee Sedol, he proved that he was not so easy to defeat, and yesterday a fierce battle to retake a city, the two sides ushered in the final decisive battle.
The decider started at 11 o'clock on time, guessing that Shen Zhenchen had taken the black first, and it was interesting that the first two games were won by the black side. Today, the layout stage of the two sides is very rapid, obviously prepared, Park Tinghuan changed the previous stable style, the layout stage 48 hands began to occupy the initiative, follow-up continue to play a good hand. Also because the gap in front is too large, failed to find a good breakthrough, and Park Tinghuan continued the good state of the previous day, there is no lack of strength in the stability, and the winning momentum is firmly grasped. In the end, Shen Zhen saw that he was powerless to return to heaven and pressed the concede button.
Park Tinghuan also defeated first man Shin Jin-chan with a 2:1 aggregate score, winning the Samsung Cup crown for the first time, while also ending his nearly two-and-a-half-year championship drought since Chunlan won the championship in June 2019, which is also Park Tinghuan's fifth world championship. Perfect revenge, to obtain such an important victory, Park Tinghuan as the former brother, his tenacity to refuse to lose deserves the admiration of Houlang. At present, Park Tinghuan, who holds five crowns, has also become a player in the history of Korean Go, second only to 17-crowned Lee Chang-ho, 14-crowned Lee Sedol, nine-crowned King Cho Hyun-hyun and six-time champion Yoo Chang-hyuk.
