[Female Myeongin] Lui Nai Wei is still the queen!
Lui Nai Wei 9P well defended the Female Myeongin title from the challenger, Jo Hyeyeon 9P. She defeated Jo Hyeyeon by resignation after 205 moves in the third round of the title challenge match and won the series 2:1. The commentator, Park Jiyeon 2P said that Lui read moves exactly except move 121.
Jo Hyeyeon again failed to defeat Lui. They have faced in title matches for 15 times so far, and Lui had 13 wins and 2 losses. One of few nine dan female players, Jo Hyeyeon is especially weak to Lui.
This is Lui's tenth win in the Female Myeongin and 21th win in female championships. She is currently holding the Female Kuksu, and the title challenge series has just started. Let's see if Lui will defend that one too and become the absolute in Koeran female Baduk.
