Cho U Defended Judan

It seems that Cho U regains his form this year. After a sloppy year in 2009 (where he lost two of his titles, Meijin and Tengen), Cho started out this year by winning Kisei title, thus making him as the second person ever to held all 7 titles at least once (the first one was Cho Chikun).



This year, Cho U Judan was challenged by Yamashita Keigo Tengen. Cho won the first game by resignation at March 4. Then he won again in the second game by a small 1.5 margin. Today, he completed his title defense by winning the third game by resignation.

Here is the game record for the third game. Congratulations for Cho U!
