The Korea Chess Academy said that during the 26th Nongshim Shin Ramen Cup World Go Team Championship and the 2nd Nongshim Baekshim Cup World Go Veterans Strongest Tournament, which opened in Shanghai, China on the 17th, an arbitration committee composed of one person from each of South Korea, China and Japan was established. The Arbitration Committee will deliberate on various emergencies that occurred during the tournament, especially in the context of the controversy caused by the new "Rape Management" rules at the LG Cup finals, and decide to abolish the Rape foul system and leave it to the referee in a manner that only gives attention.
In the third game of the 29th LG Cup World Go Championship Finals held on January 23, Chinese chess player Ke Jie was judged to have violated the rules by the South Korean side for not putting the grape into the lid of the chess box after being judged to lose the second game on January 22, and the timing of the referee's interruption of the game was controversial, Ke Jie did not accept the penalty result and chose to give up the game, and the Korean side announced that the Korean chess player Bian Xiangyi won the championship, which led toThere has been serious friction between South Korea and China. In this regard, the Korean Chess Academy held an emergency operation committee to revise the punishment of the "off-board" regulations and abolish the foul penalty.
If there is an off-board problem such as violating the "Rape Management" regulations during the Nongshim Shin Ramen Cup World Go Team Championship, the referee will only give a hint of attention if the opponent reports it.
In addition, the three countries have also decided to formally set up a committee as soon as possible to discuss the formulation of rules for international competitions. The 26th Nongshim Shin Ramen Cup World Go Team Championship and the 2nd Nongshim Baishanshui Cup World Go Veterans Strongest Tournament will be held in Shanghai from 17 to 21 in the final three rounds.
