China's Ke Jie 9 dan declared abstention after another private controversy.
Ke Jie 9 dan lost to Bae Sang-il after 159 moves in the final round of the 29th LG Bae Chosun Ilbo finals held at Singwan Daegukjang in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on Sunday. Bae Sang-il 9 dan won the title with a bitterness.
The game was suspended just three hours and 45 minutes after the start of the game due to Ke's violation of the Go match rules. Ke's 155th attempt was made because he did not put his own stone in the container.
As a result, the referee stopped the proceedings, issued a warning, and ordered the court to grant him a second penalty point, but Ke Jie 9 dan did not agree. The game was suspended for more than two hours. Ke Jie 9 dan strongly protested. He pointed fingers and shouted out loud. Eventually, he gave up the game. Ke Jie 9 dan put on his coat, packed his bags, and left the scene with his own feet.
Judge Son Keun-ki said, "The case where Ke Jie 9 dan did not keep the private seats of Article 18 (6) in the lid of the barrel in 155 moves, and thus stopped the game and talked about the reason for penalty points, but Ke Jie 9 dan did not accept it. Ke Jie 9 dan gave up the game, and as a result, we declare Bae Sang-il 9 dan's withdrawal victory."
Ke Jie 9 dan was ruled a foul for accumulating two warnings for the same reason in the second round of the finals held the previous day.
In the 159th step, when Ke Jie 9 dan declared to give up the game, Bae Sang-il 9 dan was close to 99% of the AI prediction victory rate, and Bae Sang-il 9 dan, who punished Ke Jie 9 dan after making a fatal mistake in the first 47th step, was in the lead.
Chinese fans, however, do not seem to be able to accept their victory or defeat. "Our fans support Ke Jie," Cena Sports in China said. "No matter what the situation is, Ke Jie you are the real winner." Another fan also said, "Ke Jie is the real winner." Many Chinese fans showed similar reactions. The China Baduk Association also issued a statement saying that it cannot accept the result of Ke Jie's defeat.
