Yuanyang Cup
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.
Opening was very classic to white 12. After some moves Rui invade in Park moyo and Park starts big attack playing white 16. Park takes many point on left side attacking black weak group in center. Tesuji worth to remember in this kind of position is white 30 (white 7 on diagram).
After some fights park found winning tesuji at white 1. After sequence to white 15 aji at A is very big so Rui cannot connect her 5 stones. Thanks to this sequence Park was leading about komi so Rui made a ko in upper side. park won this ko letting Rui to connect 5 stones in center but taking upper side territory and killing black group on left side. After some moves Rui was forced to resign.
Tomorrow is the third game so winner will be new first famele international champion in this year :] Of course I root for Park Jieun 8p.
