One of the exotic games of the Hangzhou Asian Games is Go.
In order to avoid the world’s strongest men’s and women’s duo Shin Jin-seo-Choi Jeong 9th Dan, China changed the event to men’s individual event instead of men’s and women’s pair match in Hangzhou.
However, as Shin Jin-seo, the ‘new artificial intelligence’, is making headway, China’s trick is likely to be a handshake.

At the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, Korea swept all three medals in Go.
Lee Seul-ah and Park Jung-hwan, who won the men’s and women’s pair, won two gold medals together with the team championship.
However, in Hangzhou, men’s and women’s pairs are abolished and men’s individual competitions are held.
It is highly likely that the host country, China, judged that it could not defeat the world’s strongest Shin Jin-seo-Choi Jeong.
However, in the meantime, Jinseo Shin, 9th Dan, has grown remarkably and is making China worried.
China is expected to launch an all-out war, led by Ke Jie, to pass Shin Jin-seo.

Unlike the world tournaments, the Asian Games do not have prize money, but the pride of playing with the Taegeuk mark is another honor for professional players.
The biggest challenge is to maintain composure and demonstrate one’s skills as the burden is high.

Another Asian game that will go down in the history of Go as long as you play with the Taegeuk mark.
Whether it will prove once again that Korea is the world’s strongest, the battle of our players on the board has already begun.
