Cho U won 1st game in 34th Kisei

14-15 January Cho U and Yamashita Keigo play with each other in first game of 34th Kisei final. Some time ago Yamashita Keigo take Tengen title from Cho U, so now Cho U wants to make revange and take Kisei title from Yamashita Keigo.
Game started without a lot of fight like they previous games. For amateur perspective it’s worth to known that white 26 become standard instead of san-san. The main fight started in upper side, but the outcome of game was decided on left side in the ko fight. Cho U won the ko and won the game by resignation after 234 moves.
Second game will be played 27-28 January. Who will win this time and who will win the title?
