After beating Chinese Taipei 3-0, defending champions China replicated their success with unbeaten record at the 4th World Women's Team Go Chess Championship here on Sunday.

Chinese team coach Wang Lei expressed his satisfaction with players' performances, while showing pity towards Yu's second straight loss to Choi after April.

"Hopefully she (Yu) can adjust herself quickly and meet Choi again," said Wang.
