Seo Bongsoo Beat Kim Soojin

Only having half of their starting members, Senior team sent Seo Bongsoo (9 dan) as their representative. Challenging Kim Soojin, Seo Bongsoo who never won in the pevious GG Auction Cup edition successfully marked his first victory at the championship.



The game started classically. Up to move 9, the position was similiar to 57th NHK Cup game between Xie Yimin and Yamada Noriyoshi. However, at move 10 Kim (who played white again) played niken biraki at M17 while Xie decided to go with H17. Kim got a promising thickness after move 50. Several moves later, white trade her thickness for invasion at black lower left corner.
