Shiraishi Yuichi Won Shinjin O

The 35th Shinjin O winner had been decided. The final game between Shiraishi Yuichhi (3 dan) and Mitani Tetsuya (6 dan) was won by Shiraishi.


Mitani Tetsuya (left) vs. Shirashi Yuichi (right). Mitani Tetsuya looks really disappointed here.

Mitani who played white in this game opened the game well by successfully trapping black's group at the left side. However, white got greedy and played the sequence from 58-72 which made white at the right side became very weak. Shiraishi used this chance well and captured 5 stones and also saved his stones that were under attack. Black continued by playing the smart sequence from 95-101 and his early dead stones came to live and killed white instead! Black finished the game well and won by resignation at move 199. I think this is a complete victory for Shiraishi!
