Wang Zhongwang Zhan is sponsored by the Chinese Weiqi Association, Zhejiang Weiqi Association, Shaoxing Sports Bureau, and Shengzhou Municipal People's Government of Zhejiang Province, with a prize of 1 million yuan for the champion, 400,000 yuan for the runner-up, 120,000 yuan for the third place, 80,000 yuan for the fourth place, 60,000 yuan for the fifth place, and 40,000 yuan for the seventh place. The qualifications are: the champion of the previous year, the champion of the world competition, and the champion of the national official competition with the highest prize money, with a total of 8 participants. They are: Ding Hao Jiuduan (Samsung Cup, National Player), Li Xuanhao Jiuduan (Mlily Dream Lily Cup), Wang Xinghao Jiuduan (Advocate Chess Cup), Yang Kaiwen Jiuduan (Great Chessman), Lian Xiao Jiuduan (Tianyuan), Dang Yifei Jiuduan (Quzhou Rotten Ke Cup), Qi Yuting Jiuduan (celebrity), Li Weiqing Jiuduan (King of Kings).
In the first round today, Li Xuanhao Jiudan and Ding Hao Jiudan were the only World Championship matchups in the four games, but their progress was unusually one-sided. After Li Xuanhao, who held white, jumped into the appearance of the black chess on the upper right, it seemed that the black chess had surrounded the white chess by virtue of the strength advantage, but it was just a bluff, after a few hands, the white chess broke through the encirclement, and the number of black chess on the upper right was wrapped inside, and the winning rate of white chess rose to more than 90% after only 60 hands.
Black chess barely created a catastrophe, and after white chess decisively eliminated the catastrophe, there was no suspense about the overall victory, and Li Xuanhao's control skills were extremely terrifying. Although the number of hands is large, it has nothing to do with the victory or defeat, to 216 hands, Ding Hao conceded defeat in the middle of the game.
Lian Xiao Jiuduan and Dang Yifei Jiuduan were both established in the same year, and the two played each other in the Quzhou Ranke Cup final not long ago, and Dang Yifei was lucky to win. From the beginning of the prelude to this game, the AI moves of the two emerged one after another, making the chess saint Nie Weiping, who was watching the game, unable to understand, and Dang Yifei, who was holding white, maintained the lead in the winning rate after easily coming out of the black chess appearance on the left.
Lian Xiao, who was slightly behind in the situation, released the winner and loser early, and dispatched in the white formation on the upper handicap, which was very risky, but triggered Dang Yifei's clumsy evil hand, and the black chess was a blessing in disguise, and the winning rate was reversed.
Entering the stage of big officials, Dang Yifei made a mistake in judgment and made a move in the mid-abdomen, mistakenly thinking that it was to seize the key points of the two sides, however, the focus of this chess game was on the left board. Lian Xiao made a timely move, cut off the two white chess pieces, and the field increased greatly, and the advantage expanded, until the final game, Dang Yifei could not get back, and simply admitted defeat in the middle game.
For five consecutive years, the king of kings has participated in the 9th dan of the king's 9th dan against the defending champion Li Weiqing 9th dan in the prelude, and the white chess pieces have greater potential and the advantage is established after the discarding of the upper game. Subsequently, white went deep into the upper right black to cure the orphan, although it worked on the spot, but black also relied on it to thicken the periphery, and the situation between the two sides returned to the starting point.
Then the two sides engaged in a dizzying battle, and after several switches, each withdrew his troops. After that, the two sides became a watershed in the chess game situation, Li Weiqing made a mistake in finding the robbery, and Qi Yuting seemed to lose money, but after he became thicker, he formed a strong deterrent to the upper right white lone chess. The gears of fate rotated from this group, and the white pieces escaped from the middle of the orphan, causing the other white piece in the lower right to suffer the disaster of the pond fish, and Yu Yuting rose and fell, and the dragon slayer won.
Wang Xinghao's nine-section black battle against Yang Kaiwen's nine-section battle was full of killing, the decisive battle on the left, Yang Kaiwen forcibly broke his eyes and slayed the dragon, after the two sides formed a robbery, there were many clues, and their own robberies were innumerable, which was already a difficult situation for white chess to control, and finally Yang Kaiwen still had to endure the pain of letting go of black chess to eliminate the live chess, busy for most of the game, almost nothing, and the defeat was decided.
The second round of matches will be played tomorrow, and the semifinals of the upper bracket will be played against: Li Xuanhao VS Wang Xinghao, Qi Yuting VS Lian Xiao; Loser's group: Ding Hao VS Yang Kaiwen, Dang Yifei VS Li Weiqing. All competitions end on July 30.
