Jiang Mingjiu at the first board played played Catalin Taranu. Interesting that both are professional players. Jiang are Chinese professional while Catalin used to play in Japan professional tournaments. The game ended after Catalin failed (again) to kill Jiang's big group.

Li Jie had to face Christian Pop at the second board. The game was close and a ko fight at the endgame made clear who the winner was.

Liu Zhiyuan's game at the third board was one of the first three games to finish. This time, he beat Cornel Burzo by resignation.

Jan Simara who played really well at the first 2 rounds, finally picked up a victory as he beat Huang Ke on board 4 in a Takemiya looked-alike game. And I think I figure out Jan Simara's strength. Right leg up on the chair seems to make you stronger.

At the last board, Feng Yun showed how strong she is by killing Vanessa Wong's big dragon at the center. Seems to be a redemption by Feng Yun as she lost the same way at the previous two games.
