Three Leaders in Oza
23 October, Cho U 9p play against Yamada Kimio 9p in first match in Oza final. Recently Cho U loss two titles (against Iyama Yuta in Meijin and Agon Cup against Hane Naoki), so if he want to be undisputed number one in Japan, he need to defend Oza title.
Game was pretty solid until Yamada Kimio decided to attack very strongly white invasion with black 39. Situation become comples and Yamada Kimio made overplay by cutting white group in two. Cho U handles situation very calmly and turn situation in very rare three leaders shape. Yamada Kimio lost a lot of stones and was forced to resigned after only 106 moves.
Oza final is match in system best of five match. Next game will be played 24 November.
