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.

Korea Won Jeongganjang

After three consecutive victories, Rui brought the tournament to its climax. It was a showdown between China's strongest team member vs. Korea's strongest team member, Park Jieun (9 dan).


Park Jieun (left) vs. Rui Naiwei (right).

The game quickly turned to a big frame game. Park who played white entered Rui's influence sphere with white 46. Rui strengthen the upper side and finally got her attacking chance with black 77 and black 87. However, Park played it cool and got out with white 144. White then played the finishing blow, white 146 and it wasn't long before black resigned.

With this victory, Korea has won the championship 4 times, while China won 3, and Japan never won the tournament before.


Happy faces of Korean team.

Top prize is 75,000,000 Won (approx. $ 67,000), and for runner up is 15,000,000 Won (approx. $ 14,000).

Rui Won Her Third Game

Rui Naiwei is such an iron wall. Being the last player standing from China team, it's such a hard work to bring the team victory, especially because team Korea still has 4 players. However, Rui showed her skill and experience by taking down 3 Korean players.


Rui Naiwei (left) vs. Park Jiyeon (right)

Park Jiyeon is the third Korean player to challenge Rui, after Kim Miri and Lee Hajin failed to stop her.

The game opened with Rui Naiwei, who got white, played a rare pincer. The sequence up to move 25 is rather in a fighting spirit and as a result, white got a big corner while black got thickness. White started to reduce black's moyo with move 46, I wonder if Q14 is better than R14.

A big fight started with black 85. Park Jiyeon aimed her gun at Rui's (not so) weak group. Rui found a way out and Park resigned at move 186.

Rui Naiwei Defended Female Myeongin

Rui Naiwei is still the strongest female player in Korea. Eventhough there are many young and strong players, it seems that no one will able to break Rui's domination for awhile.


Cho Hyeyeon (left) vs. Rui Naiwei (right)

The third game was played at February 18. The score was 1-1 and the winner of this match will take it all.

The game was very solid. Both players played solid move like white 38, white 54, and black 61. The game was even for most of the time, but Rui later strongly attacked white's group and got a big advantage from the attacking. Cho resigned at move 205.

This is Rui's seventh consecutive Female Myeongin and tenth in collective. Only 2 other players ever held this title. They were Park Jieun in 2000 and Cho Hyeyeon in 2004. Also interesting is, Cho Hyeyeon has a total of 8 Female Myeongin title match series and it was all against Rui. Cho only success once in 2004.

Rui Naiwei Stopped Choi Kyubyeong

The Female team at the 4th GG Auction Cup stays alive with the victory of Rui Naiwei over Choi Kyubyeong (9 dan).

Actually it was still An Kwangwuk's turn to represented Senior team, but it seemed he couldn't play for the match and was replaced by Choi Kyubueong. I don't know whether An Kwangwuk's absence was counted as lost by forfeit or not.



The next game will be played at October 15. It will be between Rui Naiwei and Cho Hunhyun.

Here is the game record:

After their previous meeting in the 11th Female Myeongin, Rui Naiwei and Cho Hyeyeon will meet each other again in the final of the 15th Female Kuksu. Rui won her final seat earlier in February 2 by beating Lee Minjin, while Cho won her seat later, by beating Park Jiyeon by a small 1.5 margin.

They have met each other in the final of Female Kuksu for 5 times before, with Rui won 4 of them. Let see whether Cho can take revenge of her previous lost in the Female Myeongin or not.

After losing the first game of the 3 game series at Female Myeongin title match, Rui Naiwei the title holder won the second gam by resignation.
