The South-West Qiwang (Chinese: 西南棋王赛; pinyin: Xīnán Qíwáng Sài), also known as the Xinan Wang, is a Go competition in China.

Outline

The competition is a single-elimination tournament for 16 players. It is played with fast time controls: each player has no main time and five 40-second byoyomi periods, as of the 23nd South-West Qiwang in 2024.
