Qisheng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Qisheng (Traditional: 棋聖; Simplified: 棋圣; Pinyin: Qíshèng) is a Go competition in China organized by the Chinese Weiqi Association. The word qíshèng means "Go saint", similar to the Japanese Kisei and the Korean Kiseong.

Outline

[edit]

The Qisheng consists of preliminary knockout tournaments to determine the challenger to the previous year's winner, followed by a best-of-three title match. The winner receives 800,000 RMB in prize money, and the runner-up receives 200,000 RMB. Games are played under Chinese rules, with 2 hours of main time and five 60-second byoyomi periods per player.[1]
