Baduk is popular in China

How do we know Baduk is popular in a country? Well if you visit and see these photos.
(These photos were made by HermanHiddema fpr L19 forum) The tower's name is Chinese for Tengen and on the top it is shaped just like Baduk bowl. Also on the 4th floor they have a Baduk club, rooms for professional study and Baduk schools. A very nice thing.

First victory at two handicap against a 8dan pro

Yesterday evening I play another game with Mikyeong 8p and shortly after I build my position she went to invade it deeply instead of reducing safely. Long story short she died on the board very big.

Against Mikyeong at 2hc:

The second game is against Kyoungnang 7dan who I played the day before yesterday. This game got very close and at some point I thought I lost it but somehow the endgame went favorable for me so I won!

On to more training! More more power is needed~~~

Two victories!

Even though I have a cold today I managed to win against Kim Sung-rae sabomnim today at 3 stones for the first time. Even though he gained points in the endgame I was still ahead until he played a unfortunate self-atari which sealed the game for me.

Inching ever closer

Three games I played in the last days.

First my second game against Myung-wan 9p:

I got to fight him like I wanted but as the attacks did not pay as well as I hoped the game got close and then losing the three stones in a net was giving the killing blow.

More study!

Shogi bot beats female Shogi professional!

Let me quote the website:

"Just like the Chess computer “Deep Blue” which has beaten the humanbeing, the computer Shogi(Japanese Chess) software, “Akara 2010″ has beaten the woman shogi master Shimizu, through a fight up to 6 hours. “Akara 2010″ is the latest development on Shogi computer software, and is a combination of 4 softwares which are sold as different packages at retail. It decides the next move by majority voting of the 4 softwares, and if they get even on the draw on 2 by 2, the strongest software “Gekisashi” will make the final decision.

The last Shogi fight between man and computer was in 2007, using a software called “Bonanza”, which the computer lost the title. Now this time the software wins for the first time, with the struggle for 35 years, just keep on losing.

As the next move, the “Akara 2010″ will be challenging a male shogi master in about half a year, and if the software will win, the new challenge against the strongest master is going to be made."

Some photos from the event: http://www.ipsj.or.jp/50anv/shogi/20101012.html

Maybe one day a shogi bot will beat the Meijin of Shogi. :)

Four losses

These are four lost games I played recently. One game against Yoon Young-sun 8p who was so nice to comment my game after the game. That was really helpful.

Against Kang-wook 8p: A rather uneventful game as I played it at 3 am and after I played against Young-sun and Kaz earlier already. The KGS+ review from Kaz just finished the minute the game against Kang-wook started.

Against Myung-wan 9p: This game went all according to plan until he played B6 which was a really nice tesuji but due to byo-yomi I did not have the time to see through the intention and I got trapped. I tried to come back but Myung-wan refused to make a mistake and won the semeai I made by one liberty.

Against Kaz: A early mistake in the upper left corner put me behind quickly and Kaz sailed the victory home safely. A very nice review aimed mostly at kyu-players he gave afterwards.

Eidogo for blogger

Getting a few requests on how to add a SGF player to my blog I will answer now how it works:

Have fun with it!

A small games update

During the process of studying for my Chinese exam I of course continued playing games but somewhat distracted and unsuccesful. Here are two losses against Junghyeop 7d and one loss against Jang Bi 7d.

Tea

If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are too
heated, it will cool you; if you are depressed, it will
cheer you; if you are exhausted, it will calm you.
