Special correspondent Coca reported that on the afternoon of March 2, the second round of the 23rd Southwest Chess Championship of the "Sichuan Airlines Panda Road Cup" in 2024, that is, the quarterfinals, was held in Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the four world champions Ke Jie Jiuduan, Fan Tingyu Jiuduan, Yang Dingxin Jiuduan, and Ding Hao Jiuduan advanced to the semifinals. Among the four, only Ding Hao has never won the championship of the Southwest King Competition.
In the first round of the Southwest King Tournament this morning, the first person in the first grade, Gu Zihao Jiuduan, Gu Li Jiuduan, Tang Weixing Jiuduan, Li Xuanhao Jiuduan and other world champions were out, and then the quarterfinals were held in the afternoon, Ke Jie Jiuduan, who won the championship twice in 2019 and 2022, and Xie Erhao Jiuduan, the runner-up of the 2023 Samsung Cup, competed for the semi-finals.
The black Xie Erhao started with a diagonal star, intending to fight. The first battle between the two on the lower plate ended with a big change. Turning to the upper left, Ke Jie won the local battle with an unmistakable control of the orphan, which made the value of the first hand to seize the middle belly field highlighted, and the winning rate rose to more than 90%.
However, in the subsequent handover battle on the right hand, Ke Jie ignored the severity of being blocked by black, and a large white piece was almost robbed. In the actual battle, Xie Erhao had a lot of doubts, and he actually "cooperated" with the white big piece of chess to survive safely, and the situation reversed.
Since then, Ke Jie has been conscientious and conscientious, and has steadily maintained the advantage to the end. to 216 hands, Xie Erhao conceded defeat in the middle game.
The champion of the 1st Southwest King Championship, Yang Dingxin's 9-dan Zhibai was one-sided against Li Xiangyu's 6-dan battle, and the latter knocked out Li Xuanhao 9-dan in the first round. The game is not a few moves, the two in the lower right corner of the short battle bayonet, white chess use of the black loophole, and the black chess knife in the thicket, only with the advantage of fast and outstanding encirclement, the peripheral black chess fragmented, unbearable, instant defeat.
After that, white did not pursue it, relying on the advantages of the field, advancing step by step, and ending smoothly. Black never saw what he could do, and he threw in in despair.
Defending champion Fan Tingyu 9 dan against the 00 post-00 Sichuan army Liao Yuanhe 9 duan, black chess with the usual "first fish and then wash" routine, when the wind is full of sails, suddenly surprised that the mid-belly black dragon may be wiped out. At the moment of life and death, Fan Tingyu made a life-saving robbery all the way on the left side, but this catastrophe is obviously black and white, and Fan Tingyu is still in deep trouble.
However, in the process of robbery, Liao Yuanhe made a mistake, which made the cost of his own robbery extremely heavy. In desperation, Liao Yuanhe was forced to give up the robbery for the sake of Bai Dalong's life and death. Fan Tingyu was blessed by misfortune and won after eliminating the robbery.
Ding Hao Jiudan and Dang Yifei Jiudan fought two world champions, the former escaped death in the last round and reversed to win Guli Jiuduan. In this game, the two of them fought in the upper right corner from the prelude, and the battle spread throughout the whole game, and they each did their own work to stop the army, and the winning rate returned to the starting point.
Dang Yifei was not willing to do this, thundered on the ground, and killed two sons from the black chess in the right game, intending to investigate the black loophole, one move. However, white is not fast enough to not only do the work of his own large backhand, but also to the white potential in the middle of the belly. After the black piece came out thick, it formed an offensive against the white piece in the middle of the belly, and the thickness of the two sides was reversed, and the white piece was looted.
Black advanced with the help of thick momentum, scavenging all the way, occupying the upper left white corner and the dove occupying the magpie's nest, completely breaking the balance on the ground between the two sides. To 179 hands, Dang Yifei reversed hopelessly, and admitted defeat in the middle game.
The semi-finals will be held tomorrow morning, against: Yang Dingxin 9th Duan vs Fan Tingyu 9th Duan, Ke Jie 9th Duan vs Ding Hao 9th Duan. The prize money for the champion and runner-up of the Southwest Chess Championship is 250,000 yuan and 120,000 yuan respectively.
