On the 28th, in the final of the men's Go individual competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games, China's Ke Jie defeated Chinese Taipei's Xu Haowei and won the silver medal.
After the game, Ke Jie's mood was very low, "Today there was a problem in judgment, thinking that I had won the chess." To put it bluntly, the blow is still quite big, and it is not easy to say whether there will be such an opportunity in the future. ”
"I'm sorry for supporting my chess fans, I'm really sorry."
"There is no moment more regrettable than this chess game, I am still quite in a trance, I hope the team competition will not leave regrets like today."
Ke Jie said, "I'm not underestimating the enemy, I just don't know what's going on, it's a pity, I really don't know what to say." ”
"Go needs a stage like the Asian Games, and I hope to have such an opportunity (to participate) in the future."
Ke Jie has won the title of world champion eight times, and is the youngest "eight-time champion" of Chinese Go, and has long been ranked first in the ranking of Chinese players. This is the second time that Go has become an official competition of the Asian Games after 13 years, with a total of 3 golds. At the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, the Korean team won three gold medals in Go.
In the group stage, Ke Jie defeated South Korea's Park Tinghuan, Chinese Taipei's Lai Junfu, Japanese player Yililiao, Singapore's Kang Zhanbin, Thailand's Pong Sagan, and Hong Kong's Chen Naishen, ranking first in the group with a record of 6 wins and successfully reaching the quarterfinals.
In the first round of the knockout round, Ke Jie easily defeated Japanese chess player Toramaru Shibano to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals played on the morning of the 28th, Ke Jie defeated the first active Japanese Go player Yiliao after the group stage.
South Korea's Shin Jin-jin, who is considered the favorite to win the title, lost to Chinese Taipei's Hsu Hao-wei in another semifinal. Xu Haowei was born in 2001, he began to learn chess at the age of 4 under the influence of his brother, and is the best of the younger generation of chess players.
In the final, Ke Jie took the bai. In the prologue stage, the black chess piece is in good shape, and the board is active, and even the AI judgment that the win rate of white chess once fell to only single digits. But entering the middle set, Ke Jie, who is experienced in the tournament and is good at using white chess, gradually reversed the situation in the matchup.
However, in the official stage, Ke Jie's multi-handed response is worth scrutinizing, and the AI win rate continues to reverse between the two. In the end, Xu Haowei won by a narrow margin and won the championship. This is also the first gold medal in the Go event of this Asian Games.
From the group stage to the semi-finals, Ke Jie won eight consecutive victories, but unfortunately missed the championship. According to the official website, Ke Jie will also participate in team competitions in the future.
