Rui Won Her Third Game

Rui Naiwei is such an iron wall. Being the last player standing from China team, it's such a hard work to bring the team victory, especially because team Korea still has 4 players. However, Rui showed her skill and experience by taking down 3 Korean players.

Park Jiyeon is the third Korean player to challenge Rui, after Kim Miri and Lee Hajin failed to stop her.

The game opened with Rui Naiwei, who got white, played a rare pincer. The sequence up to move 25 is rather in a fighting spirit and as a result, white got a big corner while black got thickness. White started to reduce black's moyo with move 46, I wonder if Q14 is better than R14.

A big fight started with black 85. Park Jiyeon aimed her gun at Rui's (not so) weak group. Rui found a way out and Park resigned at move 186.

Here's the game record:
