In the final of the 29th LG Cup World Chess Championship that ended a few days ago, the Chinese chess king Ke Jie Jiuduan did not follow South Korea's new regulations and did not put the grapes (note: eating the opponent's chess pieces) into the lid of the chess box many times, so that Ke Jie was dissatisfied with the penalty and chose to retire, and was directly judged to lose. Bian Xiangyi said in an interview that he could understand Ke Jie's position.

After Ke Jie won the first game, he did not put the grape into the lid of the chess box twice in the second game and was sentenced to lose. In the tiebreaker on the 23rd, Ke Jie once again did not put the grapes into the lid of the chess box, and was sentenced to 2 penalties, Ke Jie did not accept the penalty and retired from the game, allowing Bian Xiangyi to win the championship.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the LG Cup World Chess Championship will be awarded 300 million won for the champion and 100 million won for the runner-up. Ke Jie did not attend the award ceremony. An official from the Korean Chess Academy said that the prize money is usually remitted to the player's account, and how to transfer the medal is still being discussed.

Although Bian Xiangyi won the championship, there was hardly a smile on his face. Bian Xiangyi said that although he won the game, he was not very happy, fully understood Ke Jie's position, and worked harder in the future to show a better side.

"Chosun Ilbo" reported that Bian Xiangyi admitted that he was not clear about the penalty for not putting the grapes in the lid of the chess box, although he understood it after the referee's explanation, he also believed that there was no need for this rule to exist.

Korean and Japanese Go rules use the funder method to determine the winner or loser, and the extracted flag must be placed in the lid of the chess box, and the grapes must be kept properly. The Chinese rules use a numerical approach, and the grapes have no impact on the plan of winning or losing.
