Xinan Wang

Last updated

The Xinan Wang (Chinese: 西南王; Pinyin: Xīnán Wáng), literally meaning King of the Southwest, is a Go competition in China sponsored by Zhongguo Qiyuan.

Hanyu Pinyin, often abbreviated to pinyin, is the official romanization system for Standard Chinese in mainland China and to some extent in Taiwan. It is often used to teach Standard Mandarin Chinese, which is normally written using Chinese characters. The system includes four diacritics denoting tones. Pinyin without tone marks is used to spell Chinese names and words in languages written with the Latin alphabet, and also in certain computer input methods to enter Chinese characters.

Outline

The Xinan Wang is a fast game tournament where players get 30 seconds for each move. The format is a single knockout, and the final is only one game. 16 players participate from 5 different Wei-qi national teams from southwestern China. The winner's purse is 30,000 ($3,600).
