[서울신문] Shin Min-jun, the first major title beyond the Great Wall

In the finals of the LG Cup, won a reverse win over Kerze 9th

Along with Shin Jinseo 9dan, Shin Minjun 9dan, considered’Yangshin’ in Korea, defeated China’s strongest Kerze 9dan and won the first major world championship.

The new ninth team won a three-hundred-half win after a close match from the last country to 302 in the third LG Cup final against Kerze ninth, which took place online at the Korean origin in Seoul on the 4th. New 9th Dan, who was defeated in black after 184 steps in the first country, won 198 hundreds of successions in the second country, and then won a dramatic reversal by this day.

It has been 6 years and 2 months since Kim Ji-seok 9th Dan defeated Tang Wei-Sing 9dan in the 2014 Samsung Fire & Marine cultivation final in Korea-China final confrontation. New 9th Dan became the 15th Korean knight ever to become the title winner of the major world championships. This is the 5th personal victory.

In particular, the victory of the new 9-dan is more meaningful in that the opponent is the strongest in China. It has been five years since the 2016 Bailing Bae in 2016 that Kerze 9 Dan lost the final.

The new 9th Dan gradually occupied the advantageous hills from the middle and gradually increased the win rate by inducing the opponent’s mistakes. Kerze 9th, driven by the cliff, tried to reverse the game from the left, but the new 9th responded by defending against the iron wall. At the end, the new 9-dan’s win rate predicted by artificial intelligence (AI) soared to more than 90%.

Shin 9 Dan reiterated, “Today’s Baduk was difficult to judge in the beginning, but it seems that it has never been adversely affected after the close battle.” He said, “I won the championship with more than my skills, but I still feel a lot lacking.” He said, “I will try to win the world championship again.”
