Different from previous competitions, all players in this competition will be ranked according to points after 9 rounds of competitions. At the same time, professional players are allowed to participate in the competition, but they need to give way in the competition. Even if they win the championship, they cannot win the title of "Chess King" at the same time. Therefore, the attraction of the competition is greatly enhanced. A total of 52 amateurs from all provinces and cities in the province participated in the competition, including two professional players, Li Zhu and Jiang Tianqi.
The gathering of experts and the strong lineup naturally make the overall level of this chess tournament rise, and the competition is particularly fierce. In the first six rounds, Wang, as the only undefeated chess player, was originally recognized as the number one favorite with the most hope of winning the title of "Chess King". Unexpectedly, he lost three games in a row in the last three rounds yesterday, and even failed to enter the first three. It was not until the end of the last round that the suspense about the ownership of the new "chess king" was finally revealed-the last "chess king" and defending champion Li Zhu won the championship with a slight advantage; Five players with the same points, such as Lang Jie, were ranked in their respective positions after calculating the small points. Lang Jie, Chen, Yang, Wang He and Tian Hongwei ranked second to sixth respectively.
In this way, according to the rules of this tournament, the honor of the17th Yunnan Go "chess king" finally extended to the runner-up Lang Jie.

Old and new chess kings gather together.
In addition to the gathering of experts and fierce competition, one of the biggest highlights of this year's 17th Provincial Weiqi King Competition appeared inside and outside the chessboard-the newly renovated environment and decoration.
As long as you walk into the activity room of the Provincial Sports Bureau, both players and spectators will be immediately attracted by the well-made and beautifully printed exhibition boards and pictures scattered around. It turned out that before the start of this competition, the organizers specially made resumes and photos of previous chess kings into exhibition boards and arranged them around the stadium, which not only beautified the environment of the stadium, but also played an encouraging and motivating role for the contestants. As soon as this move came out, it can be said that all the chess kings, old and new, gathered together to remember the past and talk about it. The scene was very lively.
