Shin Jin-seo Defeats Iyama and Wins the Nongshim Cup for the Second Time in a Row… The Remaining Goal is the Chinese Four
Shin Jin-seo (23), 9th dan, the ‘guardian god’ of Korean baduk, continued his winning streak in the Nongshim Cup, a national competition.
Shin Jin-seo was defeated by Japan’s last runner, Yuta Iyama, 9th dan, after 165 moves, in the 10th game, the first game of the third round of the 25th Nongshim Shin Ramyun Cup World Baduk Championship held in Shanghai, China on the 19th.

Shin Jin-seo, who caught black on this day, secured his upper hand in a close match at the beginning of the mid-game.
Shin Jin-seo, who continued his favorable situation by building a large house in the center, achieved a complete victory by making moves in the upper left corner.
Japan was eliminated early due to Iyama’s loss and was confirmed to be in last place.
Shin Jin-seo’s next target is China’s top four players, Ke Jie, Ding Hao, Gu Zi-hao, and Zhao Tian-yu, 9th Dan.
In order for Korea to win the championship, Shin Jin-seo must defeat these four players one by one and achieve a miraculous ‘6-game winning streak’.
Previously, Korea achieved its third consecutive victory in the 22nd Shin Ramyun Cup thanks to Shin Jin-seo’s performance.
Shin Jin-seo, who won 5 consecutive wins as the fourth runner in the 22nd competition, won 4 consecutive wins as the last runner in the 23rd competition, and won the final game in the 23rd competition, giving Korea the championship.
Shin Jin-seo, who recorded a whopping 12 consecutive wins from the 22nd tournament to this tournament, ranks second in history for the most consecutive wins, following 9-dan Lee Chang-ho, who won 14 consecutive wins in the 1st to 6th tournaments.
However, Shin Jin-seo’s fatigue is increasing because he performs a ‘one-man show’ at every Nongshim Cup.
In Korea, 8th dan Seol Hyun-jun and 9th dan Byeon Sang-il, Won Seong-jin, and Park Jeong-hwan, who participated in this tournament, were eliminated without winning even a single win.
Shin Jin-seo will face China’s Zhao Chen-yu in the 11th round held on the 20th.
Meanwhile, at the Nongshim Baeksan Cup held on this day, 9th dan Choi Kyu-byeong defeated China’s 9th dan Cao Dayuan and won for the second time in a row.
The Baeksan Cup is a senior national competition in which professional players born before 1969 from Korea, China, and Japan participate.
Gyu-Byeong Choi will face Japan’s Masaki Takemiya, 9th Dan, on the 20th.
The prize money for winning the Shilla Ramen Cup is 500 million won.
A player who wins three games in a row will receive a prize of 10 million won.
After three consecutive wins, an additional 10 million won is paid for each additional win.
The prize money for winning the Baeksan Cup is 180 million won, and the winning streak is 5 million won.
