On October 25, the first day of the 26th Samsung Cup Quarterfinals had an unprecedented scene in the Go World Series, both games could not be continued due to network failures in South Korea, and it was agreed between China and South Korea that they would be replayed the next day. During the match, Yang Dingxin (white) vs Lee Chang-seok (black) played the 38th hand, and Shin Jin-jin (white) vs. Han Shengzhou (black) played the 27th hand. The rematch will start again from the first hand, but you don't have to guess again.
Two games of chess that have not been completed:
Lee Chang-seok vs Yang Dingxin
Han Seung-joo vs Shin Jin-chan
During the special period, the various competitions of Go are transferred to the online, which is convenient but also has hidden dangers. Previously, several times in key events, "click the wrong mouse" and "mouse can't fall without reaction" have been interesting and have affected the rigor of the game.
Today's network failures have created new problems. The Go project has its own technical characteristics, especially in the AI era, the next day's replay, can not continue according to the previous day's chess game. Although the Japan Triple Crown Challenge is a two-day system, there is a strict system of avoidance and prohibition of electronic products. In previous domestic competitions, the contact and communication between chess players and others during the lunch break have been questioned, and there have also been rumors that in the fixed-stage game, the chess players who left the field halfway were suspected of going to the room to play chess with people. Therefore, today these two games of chess can only become "unfinished chess", in the absence of fouls, timeouts, and misoperations on both sides, opening up a new field of Go World Series match results.
Scenarios with comparable results have also appeared in offline competitions. In 1990, the 2nd Korea Chess Saint Challenge, Yoo Chang Hyuk challenged the first Korean chess saint Cho Hyun Hyun. The first final was between the two, with Cho winning 4-2. In the first set of the seventh win-loss game in the second period, Cho Won-hyun won the black mid-set. The second round was arranged to be held in Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province, China. The organizer ignored the procedure of filing and approval with the local public security organs, and the two just played 8 hands of chess, which was terminated by the interference of relevant parties. Because it is a game of chess, the final victory or defeat is not decided in this game, and this game is judged to be unwinnable and still included in the seven-game series. Subsequently, Liu Changhe made a great deal of power, went down to four cities in a row, defeated Cho Hwan-hyun with a score of 4 wins, 1 loss and 1 winless score, and ascended to the throne of Korean chess. Imagine if the two sides had won 3 wins, 3 lost 1 in the first seven innings, there would have been a magical scene of "seven wins and losses and the eighth set".
The second game of the Korean 2nd Chess Saint Challenge was won seven times

This time, in any case, we witnessed a new scene of the Go World Championship. Will tomorrow's (October 26) rematch be played at the same time as the other two rounds of the planned quarterfinals, will there be a network failure? Will today's two pairs of opponents be in harmony with the general "review" of today's situation? Go, like the world, is more interesting because there are too many unknowns.
