On the afternoon of February 15, 2023, the 2022 season “Huawei Mobile Cup” National Go League Finals competition ended in Chengdu. The defending champion Supor Hangzhou team defeated the “black eight” Zhejiang Zheshang Securities team this season with a record of 2:2 on the same day, thus winning the two rounds with a total score of 4:4 (the main team won). Their opponent in the final is the Jiangsu team that just defeated the Shenzhen team led by Ke Jie and advanced.
Supor’s opponent this time, the Zhejiang team, advanced to the championship group of the playoffs as the eighth place in the regular season. Quzhou and Chongqing, and reversed the situation several times under extremely unfavorable circumstances.
In the first round of the semi-finals, the Supor team had a thrilling draw with their opponents. In order to make the second round of the life-and-death battle more secure, the pre-match coach Wang Tao and the chess players in the team, together with the Party Secretary of the Hangzhou Branch of the Chinese Chess Academy and the Academy, rushed to the front line. Changhang Tianpeng studied and discussed the team formation for the second round together.
The battle officially started on the 15th, and the Zhejiang team really put Yuta Iyama on the stage, and the latter performed very well in the fast chess game against Li Qincheng, taking the lead early and winning without suspense. Afterwards, Xie Ke of the Supor team also faced a difficult situation. In addition to the foreign aid Shen Zhenzhen holding down Xu Jiayang in the main battle, the defending champion’s battle situation was very unfavorable.
Veteran Lian Xiao’s reversal at the last moment, Xiao Sheng Tan Xiao’s half-eyed, ushered in a turning point for the Supor team. “Lian Xiao’s half-eye chess game was too thrilling. In fact, he was always behind in the official stage. I even made plans to fail in the final. He can finally win the half-eye chess and let our whole team win. They were all pleasantly surprised,” said Supor team coach Wang Tao.
This is the second consecutive year that the Supor team has entered the Siege Finals. In fact, since the 2015 season, this Siege team has never fallen out of the top three in the league. However, compared to last season, this time the semi-finals are still much more dangerous.
“The Zhejiang team performed very well this time. They brought us a considerable challenge. This kind of pressure is something we have rarely encountered in the league in recent years.” Wang Tao said.
After successfully getting tickets to the final, the Supor team will have a one-day offseason, and then start the final competition on February 17. The Jiangsu team is a strong first-line team in the league in recent years. This season, it has been competing with the Supor team for the regular season leader for a long time. It is a relatively difficult opponent. I wish the Supor team can continue to work hard and bring good news to Hangzhou chess fans.
