9th Jeongganjang Cup- Final Round

I'm sorry that i didn't post all the games of the 9th Jeongganjang Cup, but here's the final one for you.
Rui Naiwei was defeated by Park Jieun(9p) which makes Korea the winner of the tournament.

The game was very interesting to watch, and i realy enjoyed the lower right corner sequence, but in the end the game was decided by a large kill in a kofight.

9th Jeongganjang Cup - 2nd stage - 3rd round

After the victory of the Japanese player Yoshida Mika some might have felt some hope for the Japanese team, however today she was defeated by Kim Miri(Korea) leaving Japan with no more players. It's now 4(Korea) VS 1(China) but we'll see who wins as China has Rui Naiwei who is considered to be the best femal player in the world.

The game was nice to watch, and Kim showed what light moves are good for when invading a moyo.

9th Jeongganjang Cup - 2nd stage - 2nd round

Hey guys,

The next round of the 9th Jeongganjang Cup was played today by Tang Yi 2p (China) and Yoshida Mika 8p (Japan).

Up to the middle game, I think the game was favourable for Mika (B),after that she lost some points I guess. Correct me, if I am wrong ;)

OK - here the result: Yoshida Mika won the game by 1.5 pts against Tang Yi!!!



Next opponent will be a Korean :)

Just one player from Japan and one player from China is left. Korea has still four players to go...

Can't be tamed!

Moon Dowon did it again! She won her sixth game in a row. That is a record, shared with her opponent of this game - Song Ronghui.

Here is the event opening with some paparazzo:

This game was not so difficult as the last one. Dowon chose the Chinese opening by playing black and after approx. 50 moves she had an advantage. Song Ronghui couldn't do anything and resigned at move 205.

The next opponent could be Yoshida Mika or Suzuki Ayumi.


RESULT: B+Resignation

Next!

Hello guys...

Moon Dowon don't want to give up. She won the 5th game, too. It looks like she wanna end this tournament quick. But this game was kinda close. Dowon - who was playing with black - won by 1.5 points and will face another Chinese player, I suppose it will be Tang Yi 2dan.

This game was also totally unfavorable for her, but she somehow made it. 9P commentator said that it seems like God is helping her. 

Representative players  

Korea: Park Jieun 9P, Yi Hajin 3P, Moon Dowon 2P, Park Jiyeon 2P, Kim Miri 1P
China: Rui Nawei 9P, Song Ronghui 5P, Li He 2P, Lu Jia 2P, Tang Yi 2P 

Japan: Aoki Kikuyo 8P, Yoshida Mika 8P, Chinen Kaori 4P, Suzuki Ayumi 4P, Mukai Chiaki 4P

RESULT: B+1.5

                                  Some players including Rui Naiwei 9dan are replaying the game.

9th Jeongganjang Cup - 1st stage - 3rd and 4th game

Next post for the Jeongganjang Cup 2011!

Korea is on the road!

                                  Park Jieun, Yi Hajin, Moon Dowon, Kim Miri and Park Jiyeon.



Moon Dowon is on a run! She won the last games, too!!!! Now she has four victories out of four!

In the 3rd game she won against Chinen Kaori from Japan.

                                                  Moon Dowon (w)             Chinen Kaori (b)

Chinen Kaori played for territory. She had a good start and Dowon had to fight. In the middle game,  a big semeai was starting. In the end, it was a seki as you will see.

RESULT:   W+10.5

                                                                In the reviewing room: 

9th Jeongganjang Cup - 1st round - 2nd game

Here we are with the second game of this tournament. Moon Dowon won the last game, so she continues for her team. Next opponent was Lu Jia from China.

Due to some smaller kills by black, she could win by 18,5 points, which is pretty big in the pro world.
