Moon Dowon Won Second Game

Moon Dowon (2 dan) continue her victory at the 9th Jeongganjang Cup. After beating Aoki Kikuyo of Japan at the previous game, Moon beat Lu Jia (2 dan) of China today.

The opening of the second game was casual. Both sides had strong base (black at the bottom board and white at the right board) and shared sides as well. Lu Jia who played white started the fight with attachment at move 62. Black attacked the group and made use of her extension at C9 well.

Black found the winning combination with her cut at move 155. She put the whole white group in danger and put white in a very disadvantageous exchange. Moon Dowon won the game with a huge 18.5 points margin!

I'm quite surprised to see the result, since Lu Jia has a better result in domestic tournaments, but it seems that Moon Dowon is in a great shape. Let see if she can win the third game tomorrow.

Here is the game record:
Moon Dowon (black) vs. Lu Jia (white). Result: B+18.5
