Shin Jin-seok defeated Cui Jing in the Chungnam Showdown and won 60 million won in game fees.

In a special event, Shin Jin-seok, the current No. 9 Go player in South Korea, ended the "big showdown" with Choi Jing 9-dan with a three-game victory. On October 21, local time, in the third game of "The Year of Visit to Chungnam, Choi Kyung vs. Shin Jin-seok" held at Jukshima Hwawon in Boryeong City, Chungcheongnam-do, Shin Jin-seok defeated Choi Kyung without counting points after 176 moves. Park Jeong-sang 9th Dan, who served as the commentator for the Go TV live broadcast, commented: "Although Choi Jingxing came up with a different strategy from the first and second games, he was ultimately suppressed by Shin Jinseok's rhythm control."

Shen Zhenzhen won a total of 60 million won (approximately 298,000 yuan) in game fees (20 million won per game) with a total score of 3-0. Cui Jing, who was leading in the first game until the final stage but suffered a half-eye reversal, failed to win any game in his hometown.

In an interview with Go TV after the game, Shin Jin-seok 9th Dan said: "At the beginning, I seemed to have fallen into the style of Choi Seok-hee, and I was not satisfied. I felt that the black pieces were too thick, and my own real space was somewhat insufficient, and the situation was not good. Later, I captured two pieces first and handled them properly, and then I felt that the situation became favorable." He added: "I gained a lot of energy in Boryeong and did a lot of spiritual healing, so I feel that I should be able to achieve better results in the second half of the year." He also sent a message, "I hope chess fans can come to Boryeong more often."

Later, Cui Jingjiudan responded: "I was worried that if (the situation) was finalized like yesterday, there would be no chance at all, so I adopted a strategy of confusing the situation as much as possible, but even so, I feel that (the opponent) is still able to handle it with ease." She continued: "Although this is my hometown, it feels like I have come back after a long time. I am very happy to be able to visit various scenic spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery like this. Player Shin Jin-soo is actually very busy. I am so happy to be able to play three games like this, and because I have tried my best, so No regrets.”

The venue for this three-game chess match was chosen among the nine scenic spots in Boryeong, including Moochangpo, which is known as the modern version of the Miracle of Moses, Hwahwa Art Park, which combines flowers, wind and art, and Jukshima Wakaen Garden, which is full of Korean traditional beauty and natural beauty.

The competition adopts cumulative timing (Fischer system), with each side basically taking 30 minutes and counting each time for 60 seconds. According to the competition system, the winner of each game will receive 20 million won in game fees, and the loser will receive 10 million won in game fees.
