Career

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 MLily Cup and 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 the MLily Cup, with a 3–2 loss to Mi Yuting in the finals.[10] As of February 2023, the finals of the Ing Cup have not yet been played.
