Iyama Won Bosai Cup

After yesterday's victory, Gu Li (9 dan) went to the final game against day 1 winner, Iyama Yuta.

Iyama played white in this game. The opening was a little bit uncomfortable for white, but he showed a good skill during the game. For example, white 112 which utilizes his dead stones' aji. Gu Li resigned at move 208, because the gap was too big.

This is the first time Iyama won an international event and, I think, is exactly the mental boost he needs to achieve the next level. The Judan he won earlier this month seems to play a part in this victory as well. Congratulations for the young Meijin!
