KookSu Cup is mind.
Jo HanSeong 9Dan pushed Lee SeDol 9Dan to the edge.
Ho HanSeong 9Dan won against Lee SeDol 9Dan by resign with black in the second game of the final 57th KookSu Cup. By this result, Jo HanSeong 9Dan left only 1 win to win the tournament. Even Jo 9Dan had very bad results in 2013, he is showing great power in KookSu Cup.
In the beginning, Jo 9Dan tried new moves and expected to have severe fight. Its variation is very famous as it is said to have more than 100 variations. But Jo 9Dan led the game from that moment as he showed good moves which were similar to his style.
After that fight, the game went very smooth. Lee 9Dan tried to follow up little by little, but Jo 9Dan arranged the center well and won the game.
Mok JinSuk 9Dan commented this game that Jo 9Dan's strategy was great as he led the game with his own style. I think he studies a lot how to lead the game against Lee SeDol 9Dan.
On the other hand, people worry a lot about Lee SeDol 9Dan as he has no title in 2013. The main reason is that he makes many mistakes in reading which his expert area was.
Mok JinSuk 9Dan also said about Lee SeDol 9Dan that I think the game was very closed if Lee Sedol 9Dan just did end game properly but he made mistakes in reading and lost the game. And also he had times to think more as the thinking time was 3hours each but he made mistakes even in long time games.
The third game will be started from 7th of January. Let's see whether Lee SeDol 9Dan would turn it up, or Jo HanSeong 9Dan just finish the match by 3 to 0.
