The Third Strike

Lee Sula did her job again! Not only defeating Seo Bongsoo and Baek Sungho, but she added Kim Soojang (9 dan) in her list. Lee Sula won the 14th game at the 4th GG Auction Cup by 5.5 points.


Lee Sula


Kim Soojang

The opening was similiar to the 13th game. Lee Sula once again played the approaching move, but instead of playing keima, Kim Soojang replied with a high pincer. Kim Soojang later took the bottom board in exchange for the right board.



A fight started when Lee Sula tried to revive her group at the upper board. Kim Soojang tried to kill the whole group, but failed and his big moyo ended up broken. I think this is where black lost the game.

Lee Sula played a very good yose. Move 226 is well timed. In the end, Lee Sula won by 1.5 points.



With this team Senior is down to their last 3 players. Choi Kyubyeong who won the last game for team Senior's victory last year, An Kwangkuk who won 6 consecutive times at the last edition, and team Senior's ace, Cho Hunhyun.

Meanwhile team Female still has 7 players. They are Lee Sula, Kim Yunyoung, Lee Daehyeoi, Kim Hyeoimin, Cho Hyeyeon, Park Jieun, and Rui Naiwei.



Here is the game record:
Lee Sula (white) vs. Kim Soojang (black). Result: W+1.5
