Speaking of the "national face" of Chinese chess players, Xu Ying is definitely in the top few, and her chess talk on various occasions and various popularity over the years has been well received by chess fans, and she is one of the representative figures of "Go Beauty".
Born in 1972, Xu Ying entered the dan in 1985 and rose to prominence in 1990 to win the second China Women's Celebrity Championship as a three-dan. In 1997, 2000 and 2004, Xu Ying also won the national individual women's championship three times, and was one of the leaders of the first generation of Chinese women's Go after Jinhua.
In the international arena, Xu Ying also had a dazzling performance, in 2000 China hosted the China Eastern Airlines Cup World Women's Go Championship, Xu Ying reached the final, lost to Rui Naiwei, and was relegated to the second place.
The following year, Guiyang, China, held a grand International Go Culture Festival, one of the important components was the "Shanshui Qiancheng Cup" World Women's Go Tournament, 16 women's masters from China, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States participated, and the single elimination system was played, because Rui Naiwei was absent, and the competition showed an open pattern. Xu Ying won consecutive victories over Svetlana, Janiskin and Zhang Xuan to reach the final, competing with South Korean female player Lee Hyun-jin of the second dan at the time.
Li Weizhen later had an amazing performance in the Zhengguanzhuang Cup, became the terminator twice, and was known as the "daughter of the Zhengguanzhuang Cup", but at the time, she was only a dark horse, she was all the way to the three masters of Yang Hui, Hua Xueming and Yu Meiling in China, could Xu Ying stop her momentum in the final?

Xu Ying's 1/4 son defeated Li Weizhen
Date of the match: 13 August 2001
At that time, this competition was named "International Professional Women's Go Tournament", but because the World Women's Go Championship was broken, and the women's chess battles were not very standardized, it was generally classified as the World Series, and the winner could naturally be called the world champion.
First spectrum 1-50
In the final, Li Weizhen insisted on black first, when the black chess sticker was 5 and a half eyes.
The high hanging of the white 6 was a technique often seen at that time.
A double-flying swallow pattern appears in the lower right corner.
White 16 forced the positive, intended to move in line with the chess.
Black 19 doesn't want to make up for the right side of the white chess piece, but this is an excessive hand, or it should be 23 long heads.
White 24 turns, 26 first hand blockade, big cheap.
White 28 can also be withdrawn single.
White 32 is soft, should be 33 bits to stand, black chess is unfavorable.
The actual black chess pieces turn around, and the chess battle line is lengthened.
Black 35 town, good feeling! Li Wei is really a "dark horse" full of color.
White 36 is also a good hand for light turning, to white 40 to split two, white chess situation is open.
Black 43 slowly, preempted by the white chess piece on the left side of the big field, the chess game into Xu Ying's pace.
Black 49 hanging horn, white 50 pinch hit of course.
Second Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 51-100)
Black 1 double fly is not as good as direct point three three.
White 2 and 4 are not conventional, Xu Ying has her own ideas.
The white 6 side block is generally damaged, but at this time, it is quite feasible to cooperate with the white 8 break.
White 12 stands, the key hand!
Black 13 also has no way, break and say.
White chess roll bag comfortable.
Black 29 also has to make up for the horns.
White 30 turns, 34 wrenches are compact good hands, black chess has a sense of the general trend has gone.
Bai 42 flew a good point, and Xu Ying's rhythm was very well grasped.
Third Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 101-150)
White 4 is a good hand, black 5 is helpless.
Bai 6 took over first, and Xu Ying scored again.
To the white 12 fly, the white chess wins.
The official Xu Ying in the back made some mistakes.
The white 16 is not as big as the 17th.
When the black 29 stabs, the white 30 is too casual, it should be 31 to lean on, and the black chess cannot burst into the white sky.
In actual combat, white 34 was picked up, and was turned in by black 35, and the number of white chess pieces was greatly damaged.
Fortunately, before the white chess led more, the situation is still not reversed.
Fourth Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 151-200)
Li Weizhen fought hard for the official, and Xu Ying was still moderate.
There is nothing complicated about the game, and the two sides are roughly like this.
Fifth Spectrum 1-26 (i.e. 201-226)
In the end, the black 23 is the first to rush before the 24th, and then the first hand is broken, and the black chess can get 1 more than 1 eye.
But even then it's a 5-eyed game, and black chess can't change the outcome.
In the end, the black chessboard was 4 meshes, because after the black chess was closed, the single official number chess was collected, the white chess piece had 178 sons, and Xu Ying won with a quarter of the sons.
The result seems thrilling, but the process of chess is basically under the control of Xu Ying, and it can be said that she won the final with a complete victory and successfully crowned the world women's champion.
