Shin Jin-seo, 9th Dan (23), reached the top of the Maxim Cup and won a total of 30 victories. The win rate of 92.5% (37 wins and 3 losses) this year is also considered surprising.

Shin Jin-seo went on to break through the line in the 2nd station on this day, and won a complete victory without allowing a reversal even once as befits the No. 1 ranking. Shin Jin-seo showed off her extreme power with 19 consecutive victories since the finals of the KBS Go King in February, and a winning rate of 90% this year. There is a lot of time left until the end of the year, but it is not easy to exceed 90% win rate even temporarily. His record of 30 career wins shows his strength.
Shin Jin-seo said after the game that day, “I started the first and second rounds of the Maxim Cup with difficulty, but luckily I got over it, and because I played a lot of finals, I was able to do well without being nervous. I am happy to win the tournament I really want to win, and I am grateful to Dongseo Foods, my sponsor.”
He, who is advancing to the finals, also revealed his determination for the future. He said, “This year’s Ing and the Asian Games are indispensable matches. My goal is to win one or two more world championships. I will prepare with a lot of physical care,” he stressed.
Shin Jin-seo, who currently has 8 titles, is not satisfied. “Personally, I think progress can continue. He wants to hold 10 titles. I want to win the next 80 times.”
Shin Jin-seo said, “It is said to be in its prime, but there is no limit to when. Perhaps it will be time for the number in front of the age to change, but I don’t think I can’t win the world championship at that time.” Regarding his game of baduk, he said, “I feel that I have learned a lot technically, but I have never defined what baduk is. He continues to explore,” he revealed.
Maxim Coffee Cup’s strongest match, in which only 9 dans compete, was held with a time limit of 10 minutes and a countdown of 40 seconds, 5 times.
