Yoshida Mika Keeps Japan Alive

After the big slaughter happened at the first stage, Japan's team was down to one last person, Yoshida Mika (8 dan). Yoshida played Tang Yi who won the first game of the second stage earlier today.

The game was close with a little edge on white, but Tang Yi played carelessly (or maybe it was due to byo-yomi?) during the endgame and Yoshida Mika captured the victory with black 207. Black eventually won the game by 1.5 points.
