The 3rd “Moutai Cup” proved to be the most competitive edition to date, with top-level play and intense battles on the board. Players displayed exceptional skill and strategy, creating exciting and hard-fought matches.
Sixteen of Singapore’s top Go players came together at the Moutai Cup, making friends through Go and baijiu, and jointly carrying forward the “Chess and Baijiu Culture.” After hours of intense matches, the top 4 emerged. Notably, Mr. Ke Jiehui, a 6-dan Singapore Go player and champion of both the 2018 and 2019 Moutai Cups, claimed victory once again, achieving an impressive three-peat championship.

Since ancient times, both Go and Chinese baijiu have represented the essence of Chinese cultural heritage. The successful hosting of this year’s “Moutai Cup · Black & White Wisdom Go Tournament” not only served as a Go cultural exchange but also vividly showcased the concept of “Cultural Moutai · Chinese Quintessence” to local friends and Chinese culture enthusiasts.
Looking ahead, Singapore China Baijiu Pte Ltd, together with Moutai, will continue to strengthen cooperation with the Singapore Weiqi Association to further promote the “Chess and Baijiu Culture.” The company hopes more people will gain a closer understanding and appreciation of Moutai’s exceptional quality, experiencing firsthand the unique charm of Moutai’s soy-sauce aroma baijiu.
