If Yamashiro Hiroshi won from Ryu Shikun, he will be the leader. The game's date is still unknown.

The Meijin Challenger

The 35th Meijin league has ended. Last month, two players, Cho U and Takao Shinji, were tied for the first position. However, no tie break game is needed to determine the challenger, because one won his game while the other lost.

Takao Shinji (9 dan) won his game against Yuki Satoshi thus won the challenger's seat. Meanwhile, Cho lost his game against Ogata Masaki (9 dan).


Cho U (left) vs. Takao Shinji (right) at the challenger decision match Judan 2008

Takao Shinji was Meijin title holder back in 2006. He beat Cho U that time by 4-2, but then Cho took the title back the following year with 4-3 score. This is Takao's second challenge for the title. Will he regain the Meijin? Or will Iyama Yuta defend his title? The first game will be played at September 1-2.

Here is the final position at the league:
1. Takao Shinji (7-1) (Winner)
2. Cho U (6-2)
3. Yuki Satoshi (5-3)
4. Sakai Hideyuki (4-4)
5. Mizokami Tomochika (4-4)
6. Cho Chikun (3-5)
7. O Meien (3-5) (Demoted)
8. Yamada Kimio (2-6) (Demoted)
9. Ogata Masaki (2-6) (Demoted)

Cosmic Takemiya

Let's take a look at a game from 1990. It was from the 28th Judan title match game 2.

Black was Takemiya Masaki, challenger and white was Cho Chikun Judan. You can see an interesting opening where both players played L-Stars combination (I don't know whether this formation has a name or not, but I call it like that XD) and Takemiya came with unusual moves, Black 9 and Black 11.


Takemiya Masaki

Takemiya played a nice game and won by resignation at move 147. Enjoy the game :)

Computers' Fight

Kataoka Satoshi

In this game, Kataoka showed a good calculating skill. He killed one big black dragon as revenge of his dead group.


Ishida Yoshio

The game ended at move 242 with Ishidia's resignation.

Lee Changho at Prices Information Final

It seems that Lee Changho won't go anywhere in Korean's baduk world in near time, despite many challenges from younger players.


Lee Changho

He proved himself once again by becoming the finalist of the 6th Prices Information Cup. Today, Lee defeated Choi Cheolhan (9 dan) to win the final's seat.

Lee who got black in the game played an interesting sequence to help his stones at the lower left. Another interesting sequence was played shortly. White invaded black's influence at move 84. Black handled the invasion well and white played a smart sacrifice to help the invasion.


Choi Cheolhan

The game ended at move 265 with Lee's 1.5 points victory.

Edit: I posted the wrong game. I posted Lee vs. Choi's game from the 2010 Korean Baduk League which was played a day before. I've fixed the game. Thank you for Haengma who pointed out this mistake. :)

At the other semi-final, Weon Sungjin will face Lee Sedol for the last final's ticket. Will it be another Lees final? Or will Weon find himself at Prices Information's final for the first time? The game
