This is the first time since the rise of online games, the real-time mutual viewing system of chess players has been used in a competition.
At the beginning of the game, Tang Weixing played a little cautiously. Shen Zhenzhen’s white chess set up a large space of about 30 meshes on the lower right. Tang Weixing’s 177th move played a good hand in the upper left corner of the white chess. Before that, Ke Jie and other national players believed that the chess game had entered a half-eye victory and Tang Weixing was slightly inferior. At this time, Tang Weixing would briefly take a small lead. However, Shen Zhenzhen then played the 206th move on the left to remove a lot of the black chess piece, and Tang Weixing’s black chess went down here.
Tang Weixing tried his best to catch up, and by the 271st move, he had collected the last single official, and the black chess was not much, but just lost the smallest unit in the Go game, which is the half eye. The two will have a day off tomorrow, and the second game of the triple play will start on September 14. (Red)Return to Sohu to see more
