High Five

It seems that Moon Dowon's time is not over yet. After 4 consecutive victories, she won the fifth game from Mukai Chiaki (4 dan) of Japan.

The game was interesting and it seems that Mukai Chiaki had the flow at the beginning of the game. Mukai sacrificed 3 stones to capture black's group at the center. However, Moon Dowon played a great end game and won the game there.


Moon Dowon has 5 victories in her pocket now. Will she win the sixth game?

Move 179 seems to be the winning move. It reduced white's territory a lot and black still had sente. In the end, Moon Dowon won the game by 1.5 points.

Here is the game record:
Moon Dowon (black) vs. Mukai Chiaki (white). Result: B+1.5
