Chang Hao won 3rd game
Chang Hao 9p easy win over Takao Shinji 9p in Nongshim Cup, Korea team send Lee Changho 9p. Before today game the Lee Changho record was outstanding – 18 straight wins and in Nongshim Cup he was almost undefeated (16-1).
Opening of the game was from yesterday Lee Sedol vs Baek Hongsuk game, but with white 14 Chang Hao made very powerful attachment. This novel move is good reason to start further research for this variation of Diagonal Fuseki. Chang Hao get big corner but Lee Changho gets some points on bottom side.
In the game new — for me — joseki appeared. In past I saw few times black 61, but always it ends in big mess. In game they play very smoothly variation, which leaves some aji in black corner. This seems to be a joseki. Next Lee Changho start some reduction on upper side. Lee Changho play semi-sente move and leave aji in his upper right corner. Chang Hao use it very skilful and made easy live. After this, situation starts to be very hard for Lee Changho. He try to kill white centre group but he end only with some furikawari. This Furikiwari was better for white.
Chang Hao won the game by half a point and became China Hero by giving China team chance to win first time in history Nongshim Cup.
