It is very interesting to see the match between top players and gifted players in Korea.
In the first match, it was between Lee ChangHo 9Dan and Shin MinJun 1Dan. In this game, Shin MinJun 1Dan won against Lee ChangHo 9Dan by resign with white in the end.
Even It is non-sense to compare both players name value, no one can look down gifted players recently. Gifted players improve every day in a amazing speed.
In this game, there was no big fight, but Shin 1Dan led the game by little with influence in the center. Lee ChangHo 9Dan tried to invade and follow the game, but Shin MinJun 1Dan used the influence well and killed the group in the end. Shin MinJun 1Dan had won against Choi ChelHan 9Dan in the last match.
In the second match, it was between Lee SeDol 9Dan and Na Hun 4Dan. Baduk fans chose Na Hun 4Dan for this match. Na Hun 4Dan went up to round 4 in the world championship when he was 17 years old, that is why Baduk fans want him to improve.
Na Hun 4Dan led the game against Lee SeDol 9Dan from the beginning and won in the end.
Both players style is totally different. Na Hun tend to be smooth and show very strong point in the end game, while Lee SeDol 9Dan tends to love to fight.
Even Na Hun 4Dan got points in the beginning, the game was very closed. But Na Hun 4Dan's end game was great and the game went for Na Hun 4Dan little by little.
Na Hun 4Dan said in the interview that I felt good in the beginning and could arrange the game well in the end game. I know some Baduk fans said I am very lazy player, but I don't think I am a gifted player and also I study as much as others do.
The last match is between Choi ChelHan 9Dan and Shin JinSeo 2Dan. Even Choi ChelHan 9Dan won against Shin Jin Seo 2Dan by resign, but Lee SeDol 9Dan and Lee ChangHo 9Dan each against Na Hun 4Dan and Shin MinJun 2Dan which are very shocking news for Baduk fans.
Choi 9Dan showed a amazing move in the middle game and won against Shin JinSeo 2Dan. Even both players read that variations but Choi 9Dan's dedication of reading was better.
