Just now, the second game of the 13th Chunlan Cup final was over, and the Chinese chess player Tang Weixing lost to the South Korean chess player Shin Jin-chan in the middle game. In this way, Tang Weixing lost 0:2 in the three pieces of chess, and the Korean chess player achieved a second consecutive championship of the Chunlan Cup.
In the history of the 13th Chunlan Cup, Korean chess players have won seven championships, Chinese chess players have won five times, and Japanese chess players have won one championship. Although "the Ying's Cup has witnessed the growth of Korean Go", why not the Chunlan Cup?
Founded in 1998, chunlan cup is a Go tournament jointly organized by the Chinese Weiqi Association and Jiangsu Chunlan Group.
The inaugural final was played in 1999, when the old and stale Cho Won the inaugural title by defeating his apprentice Lee Chang-ho, and of course, those three pieces of chess have always been considered to have deliberately lost in order to repay Cho Hyun's affection, but in any case, Cho Won the championship.
In the second final, Wang Licheng played against Ma Xiaochun, and in the end, Ma Xiaochun lost the championship to Wang Licheng, and Ma Xiaochun did not even participate in the closing ceremony in a fit of anger. Since then, Ma Xiaochun has gradually withdrawn from the front line.
In the third session, Liu Changhe, known as the "world's first attacker", defeated the previous champion Wang Licheng 2:1.
In the fourth and fifth editions, Lee Chang-ho defeated Naoki Hane and Zhou Heyang to win the championship, which was unique for a while, but after defeating Zhou Heyang to win the championship, Lee Chang-ho never won the world championship again, and the mountain in front of the eyes of Chinese chess players was gradually removed.
In the sixth session, the Guli Changhao brothers won the championship and runner-up, and finally ended with Guli's clean sheet Chang Hao.
In the seventh session, Chang Hao, who had been suppressed by Lee Chang-ho for many years, won the championship with a zero seal.
In the eighth session, Lee Sedol reversed the bitter hand Sheikh to win the championship in a relatively unpromising situation.
In the ninth session, Chen Yaoye won the championship by winning Li Shishi.
In the tenth session, Gu Li defeated his younger brother Zhou Ruiyang to win the championship.
In the eleventh session, Tan Xiao defeated Park Yong-hoon to win the championship
In the twelfth session, Park Tinghuan kept a clean sheet on Park Yongxun
Thirteenth, ~
The Chunlan Cup is really "Chunlan Sorrow", in this thirteenth edition of the competition. The most regrettable thing is Zhou Heyang and Sheikh, in the final, they were the bitter hands of Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol, just when everyone thought they were going to win the world championship, the victory was instantly taken away by the other side.
Secondly, Ma Xiaochun's "half-eyed doom" and Tang Weixing's two games of chess in these three days made "Chunlan Sorrow" seem more appropriate.
From Cho Hoon-hyun 20 years ago to Shin Jin-hyun today, every generation of South Korean leading chess players has won the Chunlan Cup. On the other hand, our leading chess player, in 1998, Nie Weiping had gone nowhere, and the World Series was almost extinct. Ma Xiaochun regretted defeat, and Guli Changhao's victory was still comforting the hearts of chess fans. Then there is Ke Jie's nine dan, Ke Jie's Chunlan Cup tour can be called "Chunlan Sorrow", Park Tinghuan, Kim Ji Seok, Park Yongxun, Tang Weixing let Ke Jie not enter the final.
In the history of the 13th session, only Lee Chang-ho and Chang Hao have done it once, Gu Li has done it twice, plus Park Ting-hwan Shen Zhenchen once, a total of six times. Gu Li twice kept a clean sheet with compatriots Chang Hao and Zhou Ruiyang, and Park Tinghuan took a clean sheet with fellow Citizens Park Yongxun. In the foreign war, only Lee Chang-ho's zero seal Naoki Hagen, Chang Hao's zero seal Li Chang-ho and Shen Zhenchen's zero seal Tang Weixing were three times.
Earlier this year, Mr. Tang said he hoped he would "hammer out three generations of South Korean leaders." To tell the truth, 13 years of Lee Sedol is somewhat weak, 16 years park Tinghuan mentality has changed a lot, and this year's Shin Jin-chan, at the peak, strong strength, to win is not easy. But failure is a common thing for soldiers, Tang Weixing's three-time championship achievements in the ninth dan are also dazzling enough in the world chess world, and I hope that Tang Weixing's nine dans will continue to work hard, sum up experience, do a better self, and cheer up Tang Xuanzong.
