Chinese Go player Ke Jie withdrew from the third decisive game of the 29th LG Cup Final in South Korea on Thursday. South Korean player Byun Sangil won the championship without claiming a single victory. The referee paused the match during Byun's turn and penalized Ke two points for not placing a captured stone on the bowl's lid. Ke requested a rematch but withdrew when the request was denied.
Ke's loss in the LG Cup finals due to "rule violations" has sparked controversy on Wednesday. Ke failed to place captured stones in the designated stone container lid on two occasions during the second game in accordance with the latest Go rules in South Korea. This marks the first time a rule violation has led to a loss in a world-class Go tournament final.
According to Korean Go rules, two cumulative violations can result in a forfeit, and Ke was subsequently declared to have lost the game. Despite an appeal from the Chinese delegation, the result remained unchanged.
