Lee SeDol 9P is showing great result in the Maxim Cup which is limited noly for 9P players.
Lee SeDol 9P won against Won SungJin 9P by rsign with white in the first game of the final of 17th Maxim Coffee Cup.
There was first fight on the lower side, and both players had no chance to play somewhere else as the fight was so urgent. But Lee 9P showed better reading skill against Won 9P, and started to lead the game little by little. Won 9P showed good fighting spirit after that, but couldn't overcome its position.
It is very interesting to see that Lee SeDol 9P won 6 games in a row just after the match with AlphaGo. It seems that he has made some improvements after the match with AlphaGo.
Lee HeeSung 9P commented that Lee 9P seems to be improving after the match, his reading skill has been improved and his moves looked to be very free.
