Lin, who won his first world title in 2006, said he changed his tactics and those adjustment proved successful.

"Yes, I always feel the pressure, although I have played so many international competitions and won so many titles. If you want to qualify for the Olympics, you have to compete with your teammates. I want to play match by match and keep focused on every match."
Competing in his 12th World Championships, Lin will next take on the winner between H.S. Prannoy of India and Eetu Heino of Finland.
