2026 “Pei Ling Cup” Day 1 Highlights: A Fierce Battle as “Fast Blade” Liu Zongze Edges Out A grade player Ng Yee Hong on Time Pressure
The 2026 “Pei Ling Cup” Lion City Xiangqi Individual Open roared to life on Friday night (January 16). With the first two rounds concluded, the atmosphere at the Singapore Xiangqi General Association is electric as players prepare for a grueling seven-round marathon on Saturday.
Feature Match: The Clock Strikes
The undisputed highlight of Round 2 was the highly anticipated clash between local favourite Ng Yee Hong, fresh off his dominant, near-perfect victory at the recent Braddell Heights Blitz Tournament, and the legendary special guest from China, Liu Zongze, known as the "Fast Blade."
The match began with deep strategic posturing. Ng Yee Hong (Red) employed the flexible Cross-Palace Cannon (过宫炮), while (Black) countered aggressively with the Horizontal Chariot (横车).
It was a tense tactical battle worthy of the occasion. However, as the mid-game transitioned into the endgame, the clock became Ng's toughest opponent. Having consumed much of his time navigating Liu's complex attacks, Ng was under severe time pressure.
In a heart-stopping finale, with less than 10 seconds remaining on his clock, Ng unfortunately blundered in a critical position. The experienced "Fast Blade" immediately seized the opportunity, converting the advantage into a victory. Despite the loss, Ng’s resilient performance under immense pressure against a master of Liu’s caliber was commendable.
Saturday’s Action and Special Seminar
Today, Saturday, January 17, sees the culmination of the tournament with Rounds 3 through 9 taking place throughout the day at the Bishan clubhouse.
