Yamashita Keigo Fights Back
18,19 February Yamashita Keigo and Cho U played in 4th game of the 34th Kisei final. Before the game Cho U was leading 3-0 in the final. Kisei final is played in format best of 7 games, so Cho U need only one more game to capture title from Yamashita Keigo. Of course Yamashita don’t want do give up and won 4th game, leaving some room for speculations.
Yamashita Keigo very interesting opening started with white 8. Both sides fights like a hell in center. The key point of the game was the peep in upper side and Cho U unique answer.
This give white a lot of territory but Cho U get chance to attack white. Yamashita Keigo was need to fight in many small fights on the whole board, but with perfect timing he manage to win the game. Perfect victory for him
Yamashita Keigo won the game and survive to the 5th game of 34th Kisei final. To defend title he need to won next 3 games. Would he do that?
