Fun Facts

Shin Minjun accompanied Shin Jinseo to China for Shin Jinseo's Quzhou Lanke Cup world Go Open final. The previous evening before Shin Jinseo's second final they played chess in the hotel. A video was posted in the chinese social media. Playing chess before an international major final was probably not a good idea, Shin Jinseo lost his 1-0 lead and lost the title 2-1 to Gu Zihao.
