[Nongshim Cup] Round 6 - Bravo Xie He!
Xie He 7P is again making a legend again.
As people expected, Japan chose Hane Naoki 9P who blocked Xie He's 5 consecutive wins last year. Hane Naoki played well, so the game was favorable for him almost till the ending. However he made a mistake on 157 move, and Xie He caught the chance to turn the tables by playing 160 move; he took out 15 points.
Xie He 7P has 4 consecutive wins.
The next player is Mok Jinsuk 9P of Korea. The game will be played on Dec. 1, 14:00 (Korean Standard Time), and it will be live broadcast on WBaduk.
