As a result, Korea, with two survivors, 9th dan Cho and 9th dan Yoo Chang-hyuk,

was in an advantageous position to win the inaugural championship, beating Japan and China,

which only had 9th dan Yoda Norimoto and 9th dan Nie Weiping.

The match between Group 9 Dan and Ma Xiaochun was a fierce battle from start to finish.

Group 9, which was slightly ahead after the middle of the game,

took advantage of Ma Xiaochun’s failure in the upper bound to secure a clear advantage and pull out a non-contest.

The 9th dan group will face Japan’s final runner, 9th dan Yoda, in the 9th dan final held on the 23rd.

The prize money for winning the Baeksan Cup,

a senior national competition for professional players born before 1969, is 180 million won.

A player who wins three games in a row will receive a prize of 5 million won.
