At game 23, Yoo once again played black, while Park Jieun played white. The opening was similiar  with game 22, but this time Park Jieun played keima instead of  ikken basami (one space low pincer). Yoo split Park's groups with black 53 and it turned out to be correct decision because later, black destroyed white's corner and got a big territory with black 83. White resigned 100 moves later.

Yoo Changhyuk Beat Kwon Hyojin

The 5th GG Auction Cup continued! Kwon Hyojin who won the previous game against Cho Hunhyun is up against another legendary player, Yoo Changhyuk (9p). Yoo is the last man standing for Male team, while the Female still has Kwon, Rui Naiwei, and Park Jieun in the line.

Kwon who played black decided to win the ko fight with black 83, allowing Yoo to split Kwon's stones. Later, the split stones couldn't help themselves, thanks to a failed attack with black 125. Kwon Hyojin resigned at move 186.


The last man standing. Can he defeat 2 more female players?.

Kwon Hyojin Broke The Streak

Cho Hunhyun went overdrive when his team needed it. Being down 2-11 against the Female team, Cho Hunhyun won 8 consecutive games to narrow down the gap. But everything has an end, and so does Cho Hunhyun's streak as he lost to Kwon Hyojin (5 dan) of Female team.

Cho Hunhyun (left) vs. Kwon Hyojin (right)

 Kwon Hyojin who played black sacrificed 5 stones early in the opening to get a thick position in the center. She later attacked Cho's group with black 65 and kept on attacking until Cho's right side became a victim. Cho Hunhyun resigned at black 185. It seems that black has a combination to save her early sacrificed stone if white escaped with F5, but not helping the stone would give black enough territory to win.

Cho Hunhyun Tied The Record

When Choi Jung made the eight consecutive victories two months ago, she set a victory hard to be rivaled. However, this is not the case for Cho Hunhyun as he tied the record by beating Cho Hyeyeon (9 dan) at the 19th game.

 
Cho Hyeyeon (left) vs. Cho Hunhyun (right)

 Cho Hyeyeon who played white tried to attack the center, but Cho Hunhyun utilized white's weakness at the top left well and launched a counter attack. Later, Cho Hunhyun used the weakness of white's shape at the right side to gained more points and sealed white's fate.

Kim Nahyun's Second Victory

The 5th GG Auction Cup continues. The previous game's winner, Kim Nahyun, met Kim Soojang (9 dan) of Senior team.


Kim Soojang (left) vs. Kim Nahyun (right)

Kim Nahyun who got black played a rare Shusaku's kosumi in this game. She developed a territory oriented strategy, letting white took big influence. Kim Nahyun showed an excellent invading technique, starting with black 77. Black lived easily inside white's moyo. Ms. Kim went even further by allowing white to live at the lower right corner, but destroyed white's potential at the right side. Black won by resignation after 161 moves. An excellent example of how difficult playing big moyo strategy is!


Kim Nahyun got her second victory

With this loss, Senior team is down to Cho Hunhyun and Yoo Changhyuk. Both are very tough players to beat.

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).

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.

Not The End of The Road

Choi Jung (1 dan) just wasn't ready to end her 7 consecutive wins. She extended it to 8 by beating O Kyuchul (9 dan).

The game was more peaceful than game 7. Choi used her wall at the left well and got a big territory from it. In the end, Choi won by 4.5 points. This is the best winning streak in GG Auction Cup history. Will Choi score another win at game 9? Or will it be the end of journey for her?

Seventh Victory

Choi Jung who previously set a new record at GG Auction Cup extended her record by defeating Seo Bongsoo (9 dan) at the seventh game.


Seo Bongsoo (left) vs. Choi Jung (right)

The focus of the game was the fighting at the center. Seo who played white split black's group with white 102 and 104. Choi found her way out with black 155-161. White can't kill black, since black has N11. If white plays N11, black will go to O9 and still alive.


Seven victories in a row! An impressive record by Ms. Choi
