China Took the Lead

Wang Chenxing (2 dan) of China continued her crusade through the 2nd Huanglongshi Cup. After defeating Yoshida Mika at the second game, she beat Lee Sula (3 dan) at the third game earlier today. Wang played black stone this time, while Lee Sula played white.

Wang went for the thickness in the opening. The thickness was not really ideal, but it was enough to capture white's invading stone at white 52 and captured a big left side. The game was still even afterward, but black's thickness at the center helped Wang a lot and Lee Sula resigned after 229 moves when the winner was already decided.

With this victory, China took an early lead. Wang Chenxing will play one of the Japanese member (probably Mukai Chiaki) tomorrow.
