9-12 March, Japan, China and Korea teams play in last stage of 11th Nongshim Cup. Before they start, recent result was really good for China. Korea and Japan had only one player and China had 3 members. Japan termination was sure, but because Korea had some changes team had Lee Changho, who is famous of his nickname “invincible” in the Nongshim Cup.

After 3rd round of 4th World Go Oza Korea team was knocked, all 3 baduk masters from Korea lost to their Chinese opponent. In 4th game even greater miracle happen. Cho U from Japan beat Liu Xing from China by resignation. I’m not sure but I think this is historical event, when to semifinals of international tournament enter Japanese baduk master, but no one from Korea team!!!
