Han Jong-jin won the game against defending champion Lee Chang-ho in 292 moves in the final of the 2024 Ulsan Metropolitan City Mayor’s Cup Professional League held at Hamwol-roo, Jung-gu, Ulsan on the 29th.

As a result, Han Jong-jin won the trophy for the first time in 28 years since joining the team in 1996.

In the meantime, he won the second place in the 10th BC Card Cup Rookie of the Year in 2000, played in the round of 16 teams at the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Cup in 2003, and the Korean representative of Nongshim Shin Ramen Cup in the 6th time in 2004, but failed to win.

Han Jong-jin, who beat former strong players such as Cho Hoon-hyun, Yoo Chang-hyuk, and Seo Neung-wook in turn from the round of 16 of this tournament to the final, created a dominant situation until the middle against Lee Chang-ho.

He entered the final stage and allowed a chase, leading to a tight race, but left half a house until the end to win a thrilling victory.안전놀이터

“I thought I wouldn’t win until I died, but I’m so happy,” Han Jong-jin said in a broadcast interview after the match. “I’m grateful that (Lee) Chang-ho gave his junior a chance to win.”

Han, who has been the chairman of the Korean Professional Knights Association since 2022, has run a Go stamp near the origin of Korea, producing more than 30 professional knights’ disciples.

Nakamura Sumire 3rd dan, who moved to Korea in March as a guest driver, is also a student of Han 9th dan.

The prize money for the Ulsan Mayor’s Cup Professional Senior Competition is 25 million won and the runner-up prize is 10 million won.
