Short Lived Victory

An Kwangwuk who previously defeated Choi Jung couldn't stay for long in the competition as he lost to Kim Nahyun (1 dan).


Kim Nahyun (left) vs. An Kwangwuk (right)

The game was quite hard with a lot of fight. Kim who played white came under attack several times, but could dodged it precisely and won the game by 5.5 points. With this, Senior team is down to Kim Soojang, Cho Hunhyun, and Yoo Changhyuk. Will the Senior team able to narrow the gap? Or will the Female team's lead get bigger? The 11th game will be played at July 25.


Will Kim Nahyun get her second victory?

First Victory For Senior Team

Senior Team got it hard this year at the 5th edition of GG Auction Cup. Choi Jung (1 dan) of Female Team gave them blow after blow and defeated 8 of their members. But their long awaited victory finally came through An Kwangwuk (8 dan) who ended Choi Jung's winning streak.


An Kangwuk (left) vs. Choi Jung (black)

Choi who played black seemed very ambitious with her attack on white's group at the left side. An dodged it well and initiated a ko fight to threat black's 6 stones. Black won the ko, but white damaged black's territory on the right side. Choi resigned after 295 moves.

An Kwangwuk's Second Victory

The 16th game of the 4th GG Auction Cup was played at September 18. This time, An Kwangwuk (8 dan) of Senior team met Lee Daehyoi (4 dan) of Female team.


An Kwangwuk

This time, An Kwangwuk triumphed again. He won the game by resignation. I personally think Mr. An had the upper hand since the beginning.


Lee Daehyoi

The next game will be between An Kwangwuk and Kim Yoonyoung.
