Round 3 Result: China Is In the Gold Track

After winning the first 2 rounds with a perfect 5-0 score, China finally met their biggest competitor in the SportAccord World Mind Games Championship, Korea. Both team won their first and second round and whoever won this round is most likely to be the gold medalist.

Lee Sedol took one point for Korea after he beat Kong Jie at the first board. Both played slowly and carefully as each victory will bring them closer to the gold and each defeat will cost the team dearly. The game came to the final ko fight at the upper board where Lee let Kong won in order to capture 3 black stones.

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.
