Korean Go often plays a unique drama, especially the Korean civil war. In the 1970s and 1980s, Cho Hwan-hyun led the way, and his apprentice Lee Chang-ho led across the board. Today's Korean chess industry is dominated by Shin Jin-chan, who has won a number of domestic championships.
In the Chinese chess world, there is rarely a situation where one person has won multiple domestic championships, but the crowd rises together and many people share. Whether it is the chess saint Nie Weiping, or the first world champion Ma Xiaochun, whether it is the first eight-time champion Gu Li, or the current first person Ke Jie, they have never dominated the domestic chess world.
For now, several Civil War titles are scattered. The leader of the chess holy war was won by Ke Jie, the celebrity battle champion was Mi Yuting (or 2019, it was not held last year, I don't know if it was the impact of the epidemic or the rest, the chess association did not say), Tianyuan Zhan was Gu Zihao to the top, Quzhou Rotten Ke Cup is Xu Jiayang's turf, Weifu Fangkai Cup and Ah Han Tong Shan Cup champions (also in 2019, not held last year) are all Fan Tingyu. The first name of the last Dragon Star War was Ke Jie, and this year will be won by Mi Yuting and Gu Zihao; the last Qiqi Cup was occupied by Ke Jie, and this year's Yang Dingxin and Ding Hao competed for the championship.

In this article, I will focus on the Advocate Chess Cup. The first game of the 17th China Professional Go Championship Sanban Chess Final was placed today at the Ying Building in Shanghai, with world champion Yang Dingxin Jiudan against Ding Hao, a post-00 who had just been promoted to nine dans. As a result, the youngster after zero and zero won the mid-game victory and took the lead first. The schedule of the cup is: the first set at 10:00 on October 16, the second set at 10:00 on October 18, and the third set at 10:00 on October 19. The tournament is sponsored by the China Weiqi Association and the Shanghai Yingchangqi Weiqi Education Foundation. Using the Rules of Ying's Go, the prize money for the first and second runners-up is RMB 450,000 and RMB150,000 respectively.
Before this year's Qiqi Cup, Yang Dingxin and Ding Hao had only 7 consecutive games of fighting, of which 5 were games in the Weijia League, Yang was slightly leading with 4 wins and 3 losses, but recently Ding Hao won 2 consecutive wins.
If Yang Dingxin can reverse his opponents and win the Qiqi Cup, then one of the 98 four masters who was crowned the domestic champion at the age of 14 will prevent Ding Hao from winning the second domestic championship of his Go career.
If Ding Hao continues to play the triumphant song, then he will once again reach the top of the domestic competition after the 2019 TV Quick Chess Championship. This result is the first of the post-zeros.
Yang Dingxin and Ding Hao
At present, several of China's more famous chess players are Xie Ke, Ding Hao, Li Weiqing, Liao Yuanhe, Yin Lingtao, Tu Xiaoyu, Wang Xinghao, etc., among which the best record in the World Series is Xie Ke, who has won a world runner-up (this year's fourth Dream Lily Cup final lost to Mi Yuting), and will also compete with Shen Zhenchen for the ninth YingShi Cup championship trophy. However, Xie Ke has not been able to win the toad palace in the domestic competition, which is his weakness, but he has the experience of a Tianyuan Battle challenger, so it is not very bad.
Ding Hao, on the contrary, is very good at domestic competitions, in addition to what I mentioned above, once led the young Long Yuanmingcheng team to almost win the Championship of the First Division, but the best report card in the World Series is only the round of 16, this gap is obvious.
The other five, Liao Yuanhe has reached the final four of the World Series, Li Weiqing has a record of the quarterfinals of the World Series, and both of them have also had excellent performances in the League One. There are also three who have little or no chance of even competing in the World Series. In addition to the restrictive newcomer Wang Zhan, domestic competitions are also lackluster.
In view of the fact that Ding Hao has ranked fourth in the Chinese Go ranking score, but he has no grain in the World Series, he is known as the Civil War Dragon and the Outer War Worm. Ding Hao and Lian Xiao are very similar, the 27-year-old Lian Xiao, many times won the celebrity war, Tianyuan war and other major competitions laurels, the performance of domestic competitions can be compared with Ke Jie, Chen Yaoye, but the world series record is unbearable, only once into the history of the final four, even the door of the final has not been touched, it is really speechless.

South Korea has almost no such phenomenon as China's civil war dragons and foreign war worms, whether it is the four heavenly kings of the 1990s, Cao Xuanxuan, Lee Chang-ho, Liu Chang-hyuk, Ande Bong-so, or the four heavenly kings after Lee Sedol replaced Seo Bong-so at the beginning of this century, or the four heavenly kings newly known as Shin Jin-chan, Park Ting-hwan, Shin Min-so, and Bian Sang-yi, they are generally two lines at home and abroad, and at present, except for Bian Sang-yi, everyone else is the holder of the world championship title.
Why is this happening in China? If it is said that the Chinese thickness influence master won the ticket to the World Series, but Lian Xiao has more than 10 world championship experiences, and there are eight times or more than eight times in the top eight, but he has not stepped on the stage of the final once. I personally believe that psychological factors are the most important, and the haze of gain and loss, eagerness, and abstention has not been effectively solved, so I can only watch others step by step on the podium of the world championship.
On the whole, Ding Hao is the first person after the zero of Go in China, and we expect him to be able to shine in the World Series, and we must not let Shen Zhenchen enjoy it alone.
Ding Hao, a college student chess player who has enrolled in Shanghai University of Finance, can you live up to your mission?
