Xie Ke (Chinese: 谢科; pinyin: Xiè Kē; born 14 January 2000) is a Chinese professional Go player.

Career

[edit]

Xie became a professional 1 dan in 2013,[1] finishing in first place in the pro qualification tournament.[2][3]

In 2017, he finished in the top four in the 3rd MLily Cup, after being eliminated by Park Junghwan in the semifinal.[4]

In a series of games played by Chinese Go AI "Golaxy" against 41 top Go players in May 2018, Xie won his game against Golaxy. This was the only victory by a human player; Golaxy finished the series with a 40–1 win–loss record. Golaxy played as White with no komi.[5][6] A similar 30-game series in the previous month had resulted in a 28–2 record for Golaxy.[7]

In 2021, he became a finalist in both the 4th MLily Cup and 9th Ing Cup; reaching the finals in two major international Go tournaments earned him promotion to 9 dan.[8][9][1] He finished as the runner-up in both, with a 3–2 loss to Mi Yuting in the MLily Cup final later that year,[10] and a 2–0 loss to Shin Jinseo in the Ing Cup final which was played in 2023.[11] He is a finalist again in the 10th Ing Cup in 2024.
