The Fourth Female 9 dan

Cho Hyeyeon is officially the fourth female player to receive 9 dan diploma (as of 21 December 2010). She followed the step of Feng Yun, Rui Naiwei, and Park Jieun to achieve this level.


Cho Hyeyeon (9 dan)

I'm still looking for the reason why she got the promotion. I'll post here if I get yhe answer (if you know the answer, please tell me :D)

Edit: It seems she got the promotion due to the success of South Korea's female team winning gold medal at the Asian Games. She along with Lee Minjin and Kim Yunyoung got the promotion. Lee Minjin was promoted to 6 dan while Kim Yunyoung to 3 dan.

Also, she celebrated her promotion by beating Lee Sedol (9 dan) in GS Galtex preliminary.

Congratulations Ms. Hyeyeon!

8th Jeongganjang Cup

The 8th Jeongganjang Cup has been started. The three teams from China, South Korea, and Japan will fight all the way for victory.

The first game has been played. It is between Wang Chenxing (2p from China) and Kim Yunyoung (1p from South Korea) in Canton, China.


Kim Yunyoung (who played black) started the game by occupying 3 corners. White played for influence by pressing black in the upper right corner. Black entered white's corner with sansan invasion at move 37. For some reasons, I think the timing is dubious, since it allows white to got a big moyo in the left. Black tried to reduce the moyo by playing F12, but later white successfully captured the group, by attacking black's weak group in the bottom.

In the end, white won the game by a big margin. White won by 10.5 points. This is a good example of a winning game, even though one lost all 4 corners.

Though she won by a big margin, Wang doesn't seem to be pleased by her game. I wonder why.


Though she later cheered up when Song Ronghui came.


Wang will play Yoshida Mika from Japan in the next round.

Jeongganjang (some say that the correct spelling is Cheongkwanjang) Cup is a female team tournament, sponsored by a Korean ginseng company. I'm curious how ginseng tastes...
