It was said that having 4 territories in 4 corners and center can't lose the game. But this is not really true in current Baduk games. The records will be differed on how to get territories in corners and how to get center. And if having 4 corners but lost all rights in the center, then the game will be differed.
But it is Lee SeDol. He got all territories in 4 corners and lived his only weak group in the center well. So, Lee SeDol 9Dan got into round 4.
Lee SeDol 9Dan won against Lee JiHun 3Dan by resign with white in the round 8 of the 41th Highone Cup on 25th. Hong SungJi 9Dan commented that it was worth seeing how Lee SeDol 9Dan got territories in the beginning and how to get over the fight in the center. Even there was no great fight but it was worth reviewing.
Lee SeDol 9Dan meets again with Park YoungHun 9Dan which is same last year. Last time, Lee SeDol 9Dan won against Park YoungHun 9Dan and finally won the tournament. The game records between them is 24 wins 15 loses for Lee SeDol 9Dan. Next match is between Back HongSuk 9Dan and An JoYoung 9Dan.
