Lee SeDol 9Dan got first game which is really important.
Lee SeDol 9Dan won against Choi ChleHan 9Dan by 3.5 points with white in the final of the 2012 olleh Cup.
Lee SeDol focused on territory while Choi Cholhan focused on attack. It is their strategy, Lee 9Dan said that the beginning didn't go as I wanted but I thought it was not bad for me.
Lower side is the most important area in the game. After complicated reading variations, Choi 9Dan got Lee 9Dan's group somehow, but Lee 9Dan got the point in the center and the game was led for Lee 9Dan.
There were a lot of words about 137 move from Choi 9Dan whether it is good or not as it is not common move. Many players said it was not bad move and the result was also not bad for Choi 9Dan. But Lee 9Dan said about it in the interview that I thought I was not bad with the variation saying I had better way if I connect the lower left corner.
There are two matches total 8 games between Lee SeDol and Choi Chelhan. 5 games in Olleh Cup and 3 games in Samsung Cup. Lee 9Dan said I think I am in the better position against Choi 9Dan as I won the first game.
Lastly, Lee 9Dan said the time is not so long but I can play well in olleh cup always. The second game will be held tomorrow. List
