The '''Ing Cup''' ({{zh|c= 应氏杯|p=Yīng Shì Bēi}}) is an international Go tournament with a cash prize of over US$400,000. It was created by, and is named after, Ing Chang-ki.<ref>{{Cite web|title=应昌期之子应明皓辞世享年76岁 父子俩为推广围棋贡献巨大_体育_腾讯网|url=https://sports.qq.com/a/20190420/003458.htm|website=sports.qq.com|access-date=2020-06-01}}</ref> The tournament is held once every four years and hence often nicknamed the Go Olympics.
In the 7th Ing Cup, held in 2012/13, Fan Tingyu defeated Park Junghwan and became the youngest Ing Cup winner in history. In the semifinal, Fan defeated Xie He, and Park defeated Lee Chang-ho.
==Overview== The Ing Cup is sponsored by Ing Chang-ki Weichi Educational Foundation, Yomiuri Shimbun, the Nihon-Kiin, and Kansai-Kiin, and is held every four years (and thus often nicknamed Go Olympics). The competition has its own special rules. There is no ''byoyomi''; instead, players who run out of time pay a two-point penalty to receive some extra time. The precise amount of time has varied historically; in the 10th cup final in 2024, the time allotment was three and a half hours for each player, with a two-point penalty to receive an extra 35 minutes, and players could receive extra time this way at most three times.<ref name="usgo-2021" /><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ycqweiqi.com/Content.aspx?Type=3&CId=502 | title = 应氏杯决胜局唐韦星胜朴廷桓 中国第三度捧杯 | website = www.ycqweiqi.com | date=2016-10-27 | lang=zh | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511014719/http://www.ycqweiqi.com/Content.aspx?Type=3&CId=502 | archive-date=2021-05-11}}</ref> The ''komi'' is 8 points, but Black wins ties.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.usgo.org/news/2016/11/the-power-report-44-kono-to-challenge-for-kisei-tang-wins-ing-cup-tri-country-young-stars/ | title = The Power Report (4/4): Kono to challenge for Kisei; Tang wins Ing Cup; Tri-country Young Stars | website = American Go E-Journal | date=2016-11-16 | url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210513101527/https://www.usgo.org/news/2016/11/the-power-report-44-kono-to-challenge-for-kisei-tang-wins-ing-cup-tri-country-young-stars/ | archive-date=2021-05-13}}</ref> The first rounds are single-elimination knockouts, the semifinals are best-of-three, and the finals are best-of-five (except in 2023, when the final was best-of-three).<ref name=gogameworld>{{Cite web | url=http://gogameworld.com/gophp/pg_titlelist_detail.php?title=Ing%20Cup | title=Go Tournament: Ing Cup | publisher=gogameworld.com | accessdate=31 May 2011 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524153549/http://www.gogameworld.com/gophp/pg_titlelist_detail.php?title=Ing%20Cup | archivedate=24 May 2011 }}</ref><ref name=gobase>{{cite web | url=http://gobase.org/games/nn/ing/ | title=Introduction | publisher=gobase.org | accessdate=31 May 2011}}</ref>

==9th Ing Cup (2020–2023)==
The 9th Ing Cup began in 2020, but its conclusion was significantly delayed, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the organizers' decision to hold the final match face-to-face rather than online. The finalists were Shin Jin-seo and Xie Ke, who each advanced from the semifinals in January 2021.<ref name="usgo-2021">{{cite web | url = https://www.usgo.org/news/2021/02/the-power-report-korea-wins-go-legends-national-competition-ing-cup/ | title = The Power Report: Korea wins Go Legends National Competition; Ing Cup | website = American Go E-Journal | date=2021-02-27 | url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220809023852/https://www.usgo.org/news/2021/02/the-power-report-korea-wins-go-legends-national-competition-ing-cup/ | archive-date=2022-08-09}}</ref> Shin Jin-seo beat Xie Ke 2–0 in the final matches, held on August 21 and 23, 2023.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://world.kbs.co.kr/service/news_view.htm?lang=e&Seq_Code=180007 | title = S.
