In the second round, Heo Youngho 7P (W) defeated Gu Li 9P (B) by resignation after 284 moves.

Black built big territories in the opening, so White invaded into the territories. The result of the invasion was half group dead and half group alive. Even though a big group of White was dead, that was not bad for White since White also broke Black's territories and got some influence to build White's big territories.

Black also invaded into White's territories and lived, however White again had good influence by that.

From move 70, the game was favorable for White. Black kept making bids for victory, but White defended well.
