Won Seong-jin, Ing Cup Quarterfinals Eliminated… Korea Fails to Advance to Semifinals for the First Time in 36 Years

Shi Hao-hong, Taiwan’s first player to advance to the semifinals… Japan’s Ichiriki also joins.

Korea’s baduk team failed to advance to the quarterfinals of the Ing Cup for the first time in 36 years.

Won Seong-jin, 9-dan, Korea’s last bastion, lost to China’s Xie Ke, 9-dan, in the quarterfinals of the 10th Ing Cup World Professional Baduk Championship held in Shanghai, China on the 4th, with a black resignation in 276 moves. 바카라사이트 추천

Won Seong-jin, who was at a disadvantage in the upper battle, attempted to turn the tide by switching in the lower battle, but failed to break through Sheke’s experienced defense.

As a result, all Korean players were eliminated, and the tournament ended early.

In the round of 16 held the day before, Korea’s strong contenders, including Shin Jin-seo 9-dan, Park Jeong-hwan 9-dan, Shin Min-jun 9-dan, and Kim Jin-hui 7-dan, were all defeated.

Korea, the most-winning country, has won the Ing Cup six times in the past nine tournaments, but this is the first time that it has failed to advance to the semifinals since the tournament began in 1988.

On this day, following 9th Dan She Ke, China’s 9th Dan Ke Jie also advanced to the semifinals.

Taiwan’s 9th Dan Xu Haohong, the gold medalist at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, won the quarterfinals against China’s 9th Dan Li Qincheng after a close 325-move match.

Xu Haohong is the first Taiwanese player to advance to the semifinals of the Ying Cup.

Japan’s Ryo Ichiriki 9-dan also defeated China’s Xu Jiayang 9-dan to advance to the semifinals.

In the semifinals, Xu Ke-Xu Haohong and Ke Jie-Ichiriki will face each other.

The semifinals, which will be held in three rounds, will be moved to Ningbo, Zhejiang Province and will open on the 6th.

The Ing Cup, which is played with the Ing rule called the "Jeonmanbeop (塡滿法)», has a bonus of 8 points (7 and a half).

The prize money for the winner is 400,000 dollars (about 550 million won in Korean currency), and the prize money for the runner-up is 100,000 dollars.
