It was not very clear until the end who was leading the half point. Lee ChunGyu said that I did not know the result until the end, it was so difficult to follow up.
Lee ChunGyu 5Dan won against Jo HanSeong 9Dan by a half point with black in the 3 round of the 2013 olleh Cup on 29th of August.
Actually Jo HanSeong 9Dan led the game from the beginning with his style. It would be a perfect win for him if he won this game. But Lee 5Dan did not give up, instead he followed up step by step until the end. And it was a miracle.
Kim SeongLyong 9Dan commented that Jo 9Dan played really well until the middle game but he did not counter from Lee 5Dan's over play in the end game. And there was a misreading for Jo 9Dan in the end game, and it decided the winner in the end. I think Lee 5Dan is enough to be praised.
There are now 4 matches in the 3 round in the 2013 olleh Cup. Next match is between Lee ChangHo 9Dan and Lee TaeHun 5Dan.
