Kim Eun-ji 9 dan, who is considered the strongest female player, has approached the third consecutive victory of Nanseolheonbae.
Kim Eun-ji won against Heo Seo-hyun in 142 moves in the first round of the 4th Nanseolheon Cup National Women's Baduk Competition held at the Heo Gyun and Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Hall in Gangneung, Gangwon Province on the 5th.
Kim Eun-ji will win the title even if she wins the second or third round of the finals, which will continue on Sunday. If Heo wins the second round, the mood may change.
Kim maintained her dominance from the beginning to win the first round of the finals. Notably, Kim won the battle by questioning the opponent's miscalculation.
Kim Eun-ji said, "As I come to Nanseolheonbae every year and play Go in Hanbok, hanbok is getting more comfortable. Today's match seems to have been in good shape as I was mistaken by the opponent. I will not be conscious of winning the first round and will play hard for tomorrow's match."
The prize money for Nanseol Heon-bae's victory is high at 50 million won and the prize money for the runner-up is 20 million won. Since the competition ends in a short time, the players' desire for the top is hot in each game.
Choi Jung 9 dan, who played for the first time in the Nanseolheonbae, lost to Heo Seo-hyun in the semifinals earlier in the day, and the first winner Cho Seung-ah 6 dan was also blocked by Kim Eun-ji in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, Gangneung Mayor Kim Hong-kyu, National Assemblyman Kwon Seong-dong, Secretary General Yang Jae-ho of the Korea Baduk Association, Lee Kwang-soon, President of the Korea Women's Baduk Federation, and participants of the professional competition and amateur competition attended the opening ceremony of the competition at Gangneung Arena. Some 500 amateur hobbyists participated in the categories of female hobbyists, Gangneung citizens and foreigners and enjoyed Go.
Gangneung Mayor Kim Hong-kyu said, "Nanseolheonbae is attracting attention as a unique competition where female professionals and hobbyists from all over the country wear hanbok and chat together. Gangneung City will do its best to inherit and develop Go, a traditional folk game and the best brain sport in modern times." 스포츠토토
