In the fist round, Japan got 3 wins, China got 1 win while Korea has no.
Woo Kwangya 6P from China won against Yichiliki Lyu 7P from Japan by resign with white in the 4th match of 17th Nongsim Cup on 23th of October.
Korea has three players left now, Park JungHwan 9P, Lee SeDol 9P and Choi ChelHan 9P. Choi ChelHan 9P is ready for next match against Woo Kwangya 6P from China.
Woo Kwangya 6P from China is born in 1090 and became a pro in 2003. He often got into the final of China tournament as well as world tournaments. It is first time for him to be in the NongSim Cup, but he won all games in the selection tournament for China representative.
Woo 6P said in the interview that I was good in the beginning, but became difficult in the middle game. I could win with opponent's mistake when he tried to kill my group on the left side. I have no record against Choi ChelHan 9P from Korea but I know he is very strong. What I can do now is just focus on the next match.
