It is said that big group never die easily which has inner meaning. Strong players' big group hard to die, but weak plaeyrs' big group could die according to the situations.
There were two matches in 9th Korea Price Information Cup on 5th of June. The first match was between Kim SeongJae and Lee JiHun and second one was between Park JungHwan and Lee YoungGu. In both matches, Kim SeongJae and Park JungHwan won each against Lee JiHun and Lee YoungGu. And both players jumped to round 8 in the end. Both games were kind of perfect wins. Park JungHwan and Kim SeongJae are strong players whicn means their big groups never die. The game went very similarly that both players got territory from the beginning, and tried to live the weak groups in the center to decide the game.
By Park JungHwan 9Dan's game, 4 players decided to be in the round 8. Jo HanSeong, Kim SeongJae, Park JungHwan, Lue MinHyeong are there and other 4 seats are waiting for players to be filled. 4 seats will be decided among players who once lost in the tournament, and they compete for 4 seats again.
Next matches are Lee ChangHo and Mok JinSuk which will be very interesting. Lee ChangHo 9Dan is showing great conditions these days and people wait his revival again and lead the Korea Baduk.
