Tang Yi (left) vs. Wang Xiangyun (right)

Wang who played black chose an influence oriented joseki at the top right corner, aiming for the right side. At move 49, black separated white's group at the top side and suddenly white's group became an attacking target. Later black sacrificed the right side to launch a total attack at white's group. White resigned at move 139, realizing that her group has died.

The second game will be played at November 1.
