Round 3 Result: Japan Is Still Unbeatable

Round 3 of the SportAccord World Mind Games Championship saw many crucial matches. The China-Korea match was a match for the gold as both teams were strong candidates for the gold medal. The other match were between USA and Europe to determine who will avoid the last place. The game between Japan and Taiwan is also crucial as the winner will save at least the bronze medal in this championship.

Yamashita Keigo faced Chen Shiyuan at the first board. Chen actually had the ball to win, but Yamashita kept on pushing and finally turned the tide and score one point for Japan.

The fifth board was the battle between two ladies. Mukai Chiaki took on Hei Jiajia's challenge in a big moyo game. Hei Jiajia lost out the opening a little bit so she tried to control the upper side. Mukai Chiaki calmly responded to this plan and Jiajia had to sacrifice her lower right group to capture the upper side. However, it wasn't enough and she resigned at move 183.

Round 1 Result: Almost, Taiwan!

The last 2 teams to meet at the first round 2011 SportAccord World Mind Championship was Korea and Taiwan. This is the only clash between 2 all professionals countries, as the previous 2 clashes were more professionals vs amateurs.


At the first board, Chen Shiyuan of Taiwan met Lee Sedol of Korea. Lee is more success in both domestic and international tournaments, so the fans favor Lee to win. However, Chen pulled out the first surprise and won the game by resignation. Lee made a crucial mistake with white 156. He should connect the groups instead of playing this atari. Chen didn't waste this mistake and played J10. Lee resigned at move 161.

Tang Yi (2 dan) went head to head with the new pro, Su Shengfang (1 dan). Both sides developed a moyo strategy. Tang Yi got a little trouble when her stones on M10 got attacked, but she found her way out with move 100-116. Tang won by resignation at move 238. A perfect victory for China.

Xie Yimin found herself in a brawl with one of the strongest female player in the world, Park Jieun (9 dan). Both played very well, but Park got the lead and Xie resigned at move 257.

Yoshida Mika went for a duel with Park Jiyeon. Yoshida as usual played the solid way. I like the combination she played to help black group on the right side. Yoshida Mika won her second game in this tournament by 7.5 points.

The biggest surprise of the day came from the match between Mukai Chiaki and Cho Hyeyeon. Mukai who was the dark horse of the match won by a slim 0.5 points margin from Cho, thanks to the 7.5 points komi. With Mukai's victory, Japan won the battle by 2-1.

1st Huanglongshi Cup Starts!

The first ever Huanglongshi Cup started in April 7. Huanglongshi Cup is an all female international tournament. The participants are female pros from 4 countries, China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Each country made a team consists of 3 players.



Here is the line up:

China;
Li He(3d), Tang Yi(2d), Chen Yiming(1d)

Korea;
Park Jieun(9d), Cho Hyeyeon(9d), Park Jiyeon(2d)

China;
Yoshida Mika(8d), Xie Yimin(5d), Mukai Chiaki(4d)

Taiwan;
Hei Jiajia(5d), Zhang Kaixin(3d), Su Shengfang(1d)

Day 1 started with China vs. Japan and Korea vs. Taiwan.

Li He of Chna met the Triple Crowns of Japan, Xie Yimin. Xie who played black traded her group in center for bottom left corner. White (Li He) started a ko fight with white 204 and used the aji of her bottom left group well to win the ko fight. I think this is where Xie lost the game. Li He won by 6.5 points.

Yoshida Mika (8 dan) of Japan met runner up of the 2nd Female Mingren, Chen Yiming (1 dan) of China. Yoshida played a great game. I like her move at 126 and 128 which attacked black's group at D13. Black saved that group, but soon Yoshida found a bigger group. She attacked Chen's group at the center and eventually the whole black group was in trouble. Yoshida won the game by resignation.

Tang Yi (2 dan) of China met Mukai Chiaki (4 dan) of Japan. The game was full of fighting. I think Mukai got over ambitious and exchanged her group at P16 for black's group at M14. Tang Yi won by resignation and China won the match by 2-1.

Cho Hyeyeon (9 dan) met Su Shengfang (1 dan). Su is a new professional who was promoted at January 2011. She is also still young, about 14 or 15 y.o (born in 1996).
Su played well, but I think Cho is still stronger and Cho finished the game in 169 moves. South Korea won 3-0 from Taiwan.
