Actually this match has been played lst month, but I’ll just make the review

After his lost in the first match, Park Hanseok took revenge. Hanseok played as black and won by 1.5 points. This make the position become 1-1 for Park Yeonghun and Park Hanseok.

This game is much more interesting than the last game. The big fighting is very interesting. The fight was started when white tried to play omoyo (big moyo) strategy and then black invade it. White tried to kill the stone, but didn’t managed to, then he chased another group.
