Lee SeDol 9Dan and Lee YoungHo who is younger brother of Lee ChangHo 9Dan arrived in China over the strong rain on 19th. They had very delightful dining before the commemorate game in ChenSin Cup.
In the dining ceremony, besides Lee SeDol 9Dan and Guli 9Dan, Lu ShiMing, Huo ShaMing 7Dan, Lu ShaoGang 9Dan etc who are high officials in China govertment and China Baduk Associaiton.
The game between Lee SeDol and Guli was not known for Korea and China Baduk Associations, at least KBA didn't know about this event game. As both players are top players in Korea and China, it is very new. Some say it is related with their 10 death games or its prize is very expensive ceramics, but nothing was confirmed in the end.
ChenSin Cup has a banner that talk about true in ceramic city and top players compete with it. It is said JingdeJen is very famous with ceramics, so the banner has been decided like this.
In the 35th game between Lee SeDol 9Dan and Guli 9Dan, Lee 9Dan got white. From the beginning, Guli 9Dan attacked severely for Lee 9Dan's weak group. So Lee 9Dan gave up it all and imaged bigger scare of game. The game was so interesting and Lee 9Dan won by resign in the end.
Baduk fan's interesting was huge as there was no indicated prize for this game. Besides, China Baduk Association does not answer about this matter until now. KBA said that we did not know about this game, we thought Lee 9Dan went to China for his personal matter. We should consider it as a unofficial game.
Anyway the game was very interesting and makes a lot of questions. By this game, the game records between two players are 17wins 1 draw 17 loses which is exactly same. We already expect next game between two players and it will not be very late.
