The final of the ‘Go Olympics’, which has been delayed for more than two years, will be held in August.
The Korea Kiwon announced on the 3rd, “The 3rd final of the 9th Ing Cup World Professional Baduk Championships will be held in Shanghai바카라, China for four days from August 21st. The way to play is face-to-face.”
As a result, the finals of Ong’s Bae will be held in two years and seven months since the semifinals in January 2021.
Ingssibae is a tournament held once every four years and is the world’s most prestigious baduk tournament. However, after the semi-finals of the tournament were held online in January 2021, it was delayed for a long time in the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
An official from the Go world explained, “The organizer, the Yingchangqi Baduk Foundation, wants the final to be played face-to-face. So, it took a long time before the Corona 19 situation in China stabilized.”
In the final round, Mr. Ing has advanced to Shin Jin-seo, 9th Dan, who is ranked No. 1 in Korea, and Sheker, 9th Dan, from China.
Shin 9th Dan defeated Sherhao 9th Dan (China) in the first round and then Pan Tingyu 9th Dan (China) in the round of 16. Afterwards, she advanced to the final by beating Gu Zhao 9th Dan and Zhao Chenyu 8th Dan of Chinese Lu Xin in succession.
