On December 16, the semifinals of the third "Bay Area Cup" Grand Chess Tournament were held at the Baoan 1990 Cultural Center in Shenzhen.
A total of 138 chess players participated in the competition, and 16 winners entered the lineup of the tournament in two days and four rounds, and together with the other 16 players who directly entered the tournament, they passed five rounds to determine the qualification to challenge the defending champion Ding Hao Jiudan.
After two rounds of competition, 8 chess players, including Gu Zihao 9 Duan, Qi Yuting 9 Duan, Fan Tingyu 9 Duan, and Dang Yifei 9 Duan, qualified to participate in the follow-up competition held in Bao'an District, Shenzhen from December 15. In the quarterfinals yesterday, Fan Tingyu 9 Duan, Dang Yifei 9 Duan, Zhao Chenyu 9 Duan, and Yang Kaiwen 9 Duan defeated Li Qincheng 9 Duan, Gu Zihao 9 Duan, Qi Yuting 9 Duan, and Zhang Tao 8 Duan respectively and advanced to the semifinals.
Dang Yifei has a good fate with the Grand Chess Tournament, and he also reached the quarterfinals in the last Grand Chess Tournament and went to Shenzhen to compete, but lost to Wang Xinghao Jiuduan;In this competition, he won Shi Yue 9 Duan, Jin Yucheng 6 Duan, and Gu Zihao 9 Duan, and went one step further and advanced to the semi-finals.
Dang Yifei held the battle between the black and Zhao Chenyu in the nine-section battle, after the black sky on the right board was forced, the winning rate went all the way down, but then Zhao Chenyu made a slow move, like sleepwalking, almost nothing, and the black chess quickly reversed the situation. When black became more and more courageous, penetrated into the upper left white corner and lived a piece, the balance of the two sides was broken, and the black win rate rose to more than 90%.
Zhao Chenyu, who was at a disadvantage, finally seized an opportunity to reverse the situation, Dang Yifei ignored Zhao Chenyu's killing power too much, and actually led out a lone son in the thick belly of white chess, and went heavier and heavier, and was almost dumpled by white chess. Seeing that the big reversal was about to be completed, Zhao Chenyu suddenly made a big leak, and gave Dang Yifei the opportunity to break through the white formation and change the way through the moat with a casual hand. The last hidden danger of black is removed, and a small victory is a foregone conclusion. At the end of the 314 moves, black won with 3 or 4 discs.
Yang Kaiwen Jiuduan, who has not been conspicuous, has a deeper fate with the big chess competition, and in the last competition, he won Li Weiqing Jiuduan, Yang Dingxin Jiuduan, Ke Jie Jiuduan, Wang Xinghao Jiuduan, and entered the challenger decisive battle, and then lost to Qi Yuting Jiuduan;In this competition, he showed another miracle, winning Shen Peiran's seventh duan, Yang Dingxin's ninth duan, Zhang Tao's eighth duan, and Fan Tingyu's ninth duan, and once again entered the challenger's decisive battle.
Yang Kaiwen held the battle between black and Fan Tingyu, who was fishing for the ground as always, while black continued to thicken and was ready to attack. Sure enough, when the white chess piece gave birth to a lone piece on the upper right, Yang Kaiwen made a little preparation, and showed the strong hand of digging, and the white chess could not move.
Fan Tingyu, who was at a disadvantage, set out to attack the black block on the left, but the black chess was thick and the treatment of solitude was more than a response, and the white chess could not use any strength at all. turned to the right plate to create a robbery, but because the whole plate was thin, he couldn't win the robbery at all, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Tomorrow, Dang Yifei and Yang Kaiwen will have a challenger decision, and the winner will play a game of chess with the defending champion Ding Hao Jiudan to determine the ownership of the new big chess player.
