- ^ The game between Mi Yuting and Shin Jin-seo ended in no result because of a technical issue (reminiscent of a similar incident in the 21st cup in 2020). Mi had placed a move, but the computer declared that he ran out of time. Officials scheduled a rematch for the following day (February 23), which Shin won.[4][5]
