Jin-seo Shin was defeated by China's last runner Gu Zihao (25), 9th dan, after 249 moves, in the final 14th round of the 3rd round of the 25th Nongshim Shin Ramyun Cup World Baduk Championship held in Shanghai, China on the 23rd.
As a result, Shin Jin-seo ran an unprecedented ‘6-game winning streak’ in the history of the Nongshim Cup, leading Korea to victory for the 4th consecutive year.
In addition, Shin Jin-seo recorded 16 consecutive wins from the 22nd tournament to this tournament, establishing a new milestone by surpassing the previous record of 14 consecutive wins established by 9th dan Lee Chang-ho in 2005.
Shin Jin-seo, who is known as the 'Guardian God' for showing a stronger side in team competitions, took the mound as the fourth runner in the 22nd competition and led the team to a comeback victory with 5 consecutive wins, and in the 23rd competition, he appeared as the last runner and won 4 consecutive wins.
Last year, he participated in the final match and defeated Gu Zihao, achieving Korea's third consecutive victory.
This competition took place under even more difficult conditions.
While China's first runner, She Erhao, was on a 7-game winning streak, Korea's 8th dan Seol Hyun-jun and 9th dan Byeon Sang-il, Won Seong-jin, and Park Jeong-hwan were eliminated without a single win.
Shin Jin-seo, who was unexpectedly put into the final stage of the second round, completely defeated She Er Hao and calmed the mood.
In the third round, which resumed after two months, he defeated Japan's captain Yuta Iyama, 9th dan, and China's Zhao Chenyu, Ke Jie, and Dinghao, 9th dan, in order, sending the match to the final stage.
In the final match, where the winner was at stake, he began to gradually lead against Gu Zihao from the middle.
Gu Zihao, who is ranked No. 1 in China, may have been under pressure at the last minute, but after struggling from the beginning, he was forced to count down early and brought on a crisis.
However, as soon as the long-awaited finish line was in sight, Shin Jin-seo also wavered.
Shin Jin-seo made a mistake in the battle on the right side and Dae-ma was captured, turning his situation around.
It seemed like he couldn't overcome his final hurdle, but Shin Jin-seo showed his strength again.
Shin Jin-seo, who was aiming for a reversal by engaging in a complex battle, balanced the situation again by catching the idol Baekdol. Afterwards, when Gu Zihao made a mistake in quickly connecting the groups, he succeeded in reversing the situation by taking a big place like a thunderbolt.
Even as his defeat deepened, Gu Zihao continued to play for nearly 100 moves, but eventually surrendered as there was no possibility of overturning the game.
It was the moment when Shin Jin-seo, who appeared as a 'short-term filler', achieved a feat that will remain in the history of baduk by surpassing the 'Shanghai Battle' made by 9th dan Lee Chang-ho in 2005.
Thanks to Shin Jin-seo's 'one-man show', Korea recently won the Nongshim Cup for the fourth time in a row and for the 16th time in total.
In addition, Shin Jin-seo is the first player to single-handedly defeat five players from China, which has the largest player base in Nongshim Cup History.
The prize money for winning the Korea-China-Japan ‘Romance of Baduk’ Nongshim Cup is 500 million won.
A player who wins three games in a row will receive a prize of 10 million won, and an additional 10 million won will be paid for each subsequent win.
Shin Jin-seo, who has won six games in a row in this tournament, also receives 40 million won in prize money.
