On 16th Back HongSuk 9Dan won against Won SungJin 9Dan by resign with black in the 4th BC Cup. It showed Back 9Dan's powerful reading and complete victory. From the beginning, Back 9Dan pushed Won 9Dan to the edge until the end. Won 9Dan got lost some on the lower side and it made him to overpay on the right side. At this point, Back 9Dan could avoid fighting as he was leading but in the game, he encountered directly and captured big groups in the end.
Back 9Dan is having good records nowadays, and actually he stepped to the final also in the 1th BaiLing Cup held in China a few days ago.
And Park YoungHun 9Dan also won against Hong SungJi 8Dan by resign with white.
It was Park 9Dan's come-from-behind victory. Hong 8Dan was leading from the beginning making big territory on the right side. But Park 9Dan's great ability of counting turned the situation out. Park 9Dan kept trying to get small points in the end game, and all of points led Park 9Dan's win in the end.
Park 9Dan said in the interview that I was lucky as I was behind from the beginning. I thought I was a bit better in the end game but after that I made mistakes and about to lose by half point. But luckily I got points in the other area and won. I think I am weak that is why I have not good results in the world championship. I will keep this good mood to the next game.
On 17th, Lee SeDol 9Dan and Lee ChangHo 9Dan have games with Dang WeiFei 4Dan Mi WiTing 3Dan from China. |
