I do not feel he is very strong, but I also can't find his weakness. Cho HunHeon 9Dan commented about Shi Yue 5Dan.
Shi Yue 5Dan who has no weakness won the LG Cup in 2013.
The second game became the last game of the 17th LG Cup as Shi Yue won by 2 to 0. Won SungJin 9Dan did his best to win but couldn't get over Shi Yue 5Dan. It was last game for Won 9Dan as he is before his military service. By Shi Yue 5Dan's win this year, Korea and China have same record to win the LG Cup until now.
Won 9Dan lost the first game which he led the game from the beginning. So Won 9Dan tried to decide the game in a short time, but Shi Yue 5Dan countered well from Won 9Dan's punch.
Shi Yue 5Dan led the beginning by the variation which was new for all players in Korea. After that, Shi Yue 5Dan showed very accurate reading and greast level to control the game. Cho HunHeon 9Dan commented this game that When Won 9Dan was cut in the center, it was too difficult to win for Won 9Dan. Until this game, Shi Yue 5Dan had 3 wins against Won 9Dan.
We expect Won 9Dan to be stronger during his military service and come back with better.
The ceremony will be held on 21th in Seoul.
