Original title: Shin Jin-seo takes the lead in the final of the Lan Ke Cup

Xinhua News Agency, Quzhou, Zhejiang, August 19 (Xinhua) According to the Chinese Go Association, the first game of the three-game final of the second "Quzhou Langke Cup" World Go Open was staged in Quzhou, Zhejiang on the 19th. South Korean player Shin Jin-seo defeated Chinese player Gu Zihao in the middle game with 180 moves with white and took the lead.

In the first final of the Lan Ke Cup last year, Shin Jin-seo, who had won consecutive games before the game, took the lead and was in a good situation for a while, but Gu Zihao quickly adjusted his state and won two consecutive games to win the championship. The two sides met in the final of the same world championship for two consecutive years, which made this event particularly popular.

Gu Zihao played first as black. He made a series of mistakes in the early stages and fell behind. His winning rate in the middle stage once dropped to less than 5%. Shin Jin-seo maintained control of the situation, but relaxed a little when he was ahead. He miscalculated the white pieces in the upper right corner, but due to time constraints, Gu Zihao failed to seize the opportunity. In the end, Gu Zihao was doomed to fail and resigned after 180 moves.

In the post-match interview, Shin Jin-seo said that Gu Zihao was a very strong opponent and he considered the first game as a "life-and-death battle". This year's situation was similar to last year's, both times he won the first game with white pieces, so he was not at all careless, winning the first game was a blessing from the god of luck, and he would also consider the next two games as "life-and-death battles".

The second game of the final three-game match will be held on the 21st.
