18th Nongsim cup, first round

Lee Donghun vs Pan Tingyu

China got a perfect result in the first round of Nongsim cup this year. Pan Tingyu 9P won agianst Lee Donghun 7P by resign with black in the third match of the first round.

Pan 9P won 2 games in a row as he won agianst Lichiliki Lyu 7P from Japan yesterday.

In today's match, it was very closed, but Pan 9P showed great concentration when Lee 7P played a move which he thought to be sente. But Pan 9P broke Lee 7P's only territory in the center and the game suddenly went good for Pan 9P.

Pan 9P said in the interview that I was behind from the beginning, and had many mistakes in the middle game as well. I was lucky to win this game thanks to Lee 7P's big mistake.

As Lee 7P lost today, Korea has no win in the first round. From Japan, Jang Shi 9P is ready to compete with Pan Tingyu 9P tomorrow.
