Fujitsu Cup First Round Result

The first round of the 23rd Fujitsu Cup ended today. Eight players will continue their journey to the top by advancing to the second round.

The first who won his game was Kim Jiseok of Korea who beat Alexander Dinerchtein of Russia. Kim played a strong game and led all the way until the end.

Here is the game record: Kim Jiseok vs. Alexander Dinerchtein

Next, we have Park Junghwan who beat Chang Hao by resignation. Park won an early corner fight. Chang Hao tried to use his influence in the bottom, by expanding it. He got a big framework in the center, but he got a troubled group as a compensation. He tried to revive his group, but Park put a nice kill on it. With this loss, Chang Hao add a bad record this year to his international event's result.

Here is the game record:

Next, we have Takao Shinji. He met the famous ex-insei, Fernand Aguilar of South America. I personally think the game was quite easy for Takao Shinji. Fernand Aguilar tried to create a moyo around move 164, however Takao Shinji easily broke it.

Qiu Jun of China won his game against Sakai Hideyuki of Japan by 2.5 points. I think the game was quite event at the opening, though Qiu Jun came out ahead during th end game.

A success round 1 for Japan.

Piao Wenyao of China won his first round against Jie Li of North America. Piao launched a splitting attack early in the game and managed to stay ahead during the game, though later Jie attacked black's group in the upper left board strongly, but Piao managed to stay alive.

Anzai Nobuaki of Japan shockingly beat one of the strongest Taiwan player, Chen Shiyuan. Anzai had a bad start where he has a weak group in the center. Anzai later sacrificed a group to make his group alive in the center. He eventually won the game by 2.5 points.

Hane Naoki Honinbo won by a small margin against one of Korea top player, Choi Cheolhan. Hane played a good example on how-not-to panic when your opponent breaks your moyo. He build a strong influence in the center, but Choi later break it little by little. Hane even damaged his bottom territory to gain full influence in the center. Hane won the game by 1.5 points.

The biggest victory award for today goes to Ishida Yoshio! Many didn't expect this 62 year old veteran to win against the younger and still active Mok Jinseok of Korea. However, Ishida showed that he is not too old to beat the youngster. He won from Mok Jinseok by resignation.

23rd Fujitsu Cup

The annual Fujitsu Cup is back. The oldest international go championship celebrates its 23rd edition this year.

The first round was started this morning in Japan. Sixteen players competes in the first round to decide who will advance to the next round. Here is the match pairing and my impression of the game so far (it was about 50 moves or less when the last time I watched it online)


The seeded players.

Chang Hao (9 dan) of China vs. Park Junghwan (7 dan) of Korea
A fight started in the corner and Park able to won it and got a corner.

Anzai Nobuaki (6 dan) of Japan vs. Chen Shiyuan (8 dan) of Taiwan
The game was hard for Anzai. He has one weak group in the center and his group in the left side is not settle yet.

Takao Shinji (9 dan) of Japan vs. Fernando Aguilar representative of South America
Takao got a big side in the left board, while Aguilar still has a weak group in the center. I think Takao Shinji was leading.


Korea players

Piao Wenyao (5 dan) of China vs. Jie Li representative of North America
Piao launched a splitting attack at two Jie Li's groups in the bottom board. The fight seems hard for Jie Li.

Kim Jiseok (7 dan) of Korea vs. Alexander Dinerchtein (3 dan) of Europe
The game is still even I think. Alex didn't defend his two stones in the upper left corner, but it still has a big aji which he can use later.

Choi Cheolhan (9 dan) of Korea vs. Hane Naoki (9 dan) of Japan
Hane has a strong attack in the upper board. The game is still even.

Qiu Jun (8 dan) vs. Sakai Hideyuki (7 dan) of Japan
Sakai Hideyuki was doing well against Qiu Jun. Both got a big corner, but Qiu has a strong influence in the right side.


China players.

Ishida Yoshio (9 dan) vs. Mok Jinseok (9 dan) of Korea
Ishida Yoshio is the biggest surprise this year!! Ishida got a ponuki in the left side, but I personally think it's a little bit hard for him to use the ponuki. Actually I'm kinda rooting on Ishida sensei. It'll be amazing if he can beat Mok.


Japan players.
