I was waiting for this moment for very long time :-) Park Jieun is one of my favourite female go player from Korea, so her today victory over Rui Naiwei 9p – the #1 in female go world – is the one of the most important happen in her go career.
Yuanyang Cup is international tournament for famele pro from whole world. Unfortunately European rep. Cho Bae 6D met in 1 round Aoki Kikuyo 8p and lost by resignation :( But this was in 2007. Currently China holding a final tournament between Rui Naiwei 9p and Park Jieun 8p. In first game 2 day ago Rui won by half a point, very pity for Park :( However today park show great spirit a won a game by resignation. Park was today white. In this tournament komi is 7,5 so in my opinion be white is little favorable.
Today Gu Li 9p beat Kong Jie 7p in final of NEC Cup. Gu Li 9p was white. In fuseki Kong play rare variation by cutting one stone and give up a corner to Gu. Fuseki seems to be favorable to Kong but Gu start immediately big fight. Kong must miss white 26 because be forced to play at 27 is very painful. The most interesting thing of this game is how Gu defend his weak groups. When white group on the upper side was on severe attack Gu Li cut off black group and start very complicated fight.
