Yamashita Keigo Won the Second Game
After a disappointing lost at the first game, Yamashita Keigo bounced back to the Honinbo's road by winning the second game by 1.5 points.
The game started by playing Yamashita's sealing move at K10. I predicted yesterday that he will invade the corner, but it seems Yamashita chose to aim the center by attacking white's group in the right side.
At move 131, Yamashita went for the center by sacrificing the left side. It was a natural choice since the center was more potential for black. There is a good tsumego at move 198. Black must play it right or again he'll lost the game.

After 236 moves, Yamashita won the game.

A 3 kyu Beat 5 dan
News from the 31st World Amateur Go Championship. Who say that when you are 7 stones behind your opponent, you can't win it? Maria Puerta (3 kyu) of Venezuela beat Wan Kou Lou (5 dan) of Macau in the third round of the championship.
Maria Puerta
Wan Kou Lou
Here is Maria's comment of the game:
She got a big applause when she entered the restaurant for lunch. Too bad that I can't find any game record of the game.
Maria Puerta
Wan Kou Lou
Here is Maria's comment of the game:
For most of the game he was in control,’ Puerta said. ‘He had a big territory and I had some dead groups, but then late in the game he let me capture four stones. Perhaps it was just lack of caution on his part, but that four-stone capture joined all my groups together, and inside the large space surrounded by them there was a group of his that only had one eye. He still had his big territory left, but it wasn’t enough, so he resigned.’
She got a big applause when she entered the restaurant for lunch. Too bad that I can't find any game record of the game.
Lee Sedol Beat Chang Hao Again
After three straight loses from Lee Sedol at the 2nd BC World Baduk Championship, Chang Hao (9 dan) of China suffered another lost.
This time the game came from the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. This Expo seems to be a cultural expo that promotes not only China's culture, but also other countries like Japan, Netherland, Finland, Polish, and some other countries.

Tuesday Morning Tsumego Answer
Here is the answer for Tuesday Morning tsumego .
R19 is the key point in this tsumego.
If white captures the two stones, black will play T18. White captures with T19, and then black eliminates white's second eye with T17.
White can't play T18 directly, because white will capture with T19 and make A and B as miai.

Yamashita Sealed the 63rd Move
The second game of the 65th Honinbo-sen started this morning. This time the challenger, Yamashita Keigo Tengen plays as black and the title holder, Hane Naoki Honinbo plays as white.
So far, an awkward position appeared in the upper board. Yamashita successfully trapped Hane's group which gave Yamashita at least 13 points and thickness toward center. As for Hane, he got a solid upper left corner which is around 20 points.
Yamashita sealed his next move after Hane played a pincer. I wonder where Yamashita's sealed move is. If I were him, I'll go for the corner with C3.

Tuesday Morning Tsumego
Here is a tsumego for this bright Tuesday morning. Black to move and kill. Enjoy :)
Easy Tsumego Answer
This is the answer for easy tsumego .
The throw in at is the key move here. White can't create an eye with M19 since it's a self atari. After capture at 2, A and B become miai for black and white die.
If white play O16 instead of capturing, then black will play another throw in at N19.
Black can't play 1 first in the diagram above, since white will play 2 and the throw in at A doesn't work anymore.

The Road to Gosei
The first game of the 35th Gosei title match has been decided. It'll be played on June 24. This year, challenger Sakai Hideyuki will play one of the strongest Japan master, Cho U.
Sakai Hideyuki beating Yamashita Keigo at 25th Gosei final.
Many favor Cho to defend his title since Cho has more experience in title matches and has proved himself in last Kisei, Judan, and Tengen. While for Sakai, this is his first shot at one of the top 7 titles.
Cho U
So far the record between those two is 2-2. All four games came from two tournaments. They are Meijin (both are from league games) and the televised blitz chmpionship, NHK Cup. Both Cho and Sakai won once in each tournament.
Here I present you with the four game records.

Black to play and kill. Enjoy :)
Black to play and kill. Enjoy :)
Midnight Tsumego Answer
Here is the answer for midnight tsumego answer .
The answer is G18. Since it threats black's second eye, black must respond. After the sequence, black still alive with two eyes, but white got sente.
White can also directly capture black's E18 stone, but it'll be gote.
The problem came from 6th Korean Prices Information Cup, league D. Black is Kang Dongyun (9p) and white is Hong Minpyo (6p). Black won the game by 3.5 points.

Fujisawa Rina Made Her Debut
Fujisawa Shuko's granddaughter Rina has made her debut with three unofficial games. Every year, Go Weekly arranges the 'New Shodan Series', pitting the debutant 1-dans against top players. Taking black and receiving a komi of 6.5 points, Rina played Cho Chikun in late April. She played well, putting Cho under some pressure, but was outfought in the middle game and resigned after 152 moves. The diplomatic Cho commented that she was better than him when he was 1-dan.
Rina's next two games were in the 7th Nakano Cup, an unofficial tournament organized by Go Weekly for players under 21. Both games were played on 3 May and both were won by Rina. Details are as follows:
Fujisawa Rina 1-dan (W) beat Kibe Natsuki, an insei, by resignation.
Fujisawa Rina (W) beat Adachi Toshimasa 1-dan by 2.5 points.

Sakai Hideyuki Challanges Cho U
Today must be the happiest day in Sakai Hideyuki's professional career. He beat Yamashita Keigo (Tengen) to gain the seat as Gosei title challenger!
Yamashita who played black in this game opened the game by unusual move at move 7. Sakai made an invasion at move 8 and the sequence went for a corner for Yamashita Keigo and a settled but small position in the right side for white.
Sakai Hideyuki
Yamashita who had sente after the sequence went for a low approach in white left bottom's stone. Sakai didn't reply the approach. He launched a splitting attack instead. Sakai later ran into uncomfortable position when his group in the left bottom was attacked.
Starting from move 72, Sakai attacked Yamashita's weak group in the right side. Sakai got a big chance in killing the group when Yamashita abandoned Sakai's threat for winning a ko fight, however it turned out to be burdensome for Yamashita.
Yamashita resigned at move 152. He lost two big groups in the fight!
Congratulations for Sakai! This will be his first shot at the top 7 titles.

Igo Pro vs. Shogi Pro
A friend of mine asked me whether there is a cross tournament between shogi pros and igo pros. Well, I'm wondering what kind of tournament will it be. LOL :p
However, there is a go record between igo pro vs. shogi pro.
This is a 6 handicap game between the "Killer" Kato Masao vs. the grand slam of shogi, Yoshiharu Habu in a special game (if I'm not mistaken) for promoting a book.
