Kim SeongJae's first game in 2013 was in Febraury and won the first game. Kim SeongJae 5Dan won against Lee WonDo 4Dan by resign with white in the 18th GS Caltex Cup.
The last game between them was in July of 2011 which was 1.7 years before. Before this game, Kim SeongJae won all 7 games against Lee WonDo 4Dan which means Kim 5Dan is kind of natural enemy for Lee 4Dan.
Park JungSang 9Dan commented this game that I was curious when Choi ChelHan 9Dan was called poisonous snake. But as time went by, Choi ChelHan 9Dan made his own style as same as his nickname.
As same as Choi ChelHan 9Dan's case, Kim SeongJae 5Dan is making his own style which is pushing the opponent up for his style.
In this game as well, Kim 5Dan got better position by attacking Lee 4Dan's group in the beginning. And after that, Kim 5Dan made the game easy to finish well.
Kim SeongJae 5Dan looks like making his own style to improve further. His current rank in Korea is 10 and many expect him to go up further.
Kim SeongJae 5Dan will meet with a winner between Park YoungHun and Lee ChunGue.
