All 8 players for round 8 are decided in the end. This tournament is restricted for only 9Dan players in Korea.
Yun JunSang 9Dan won against Lee ChangHo 9Dan by 1.5 points with black in the last round 16
and decided to be a last player to be round 8 in 15th Maxim Cup.
Therefore, the matches are Park JungHwan 9Dan vs Yun JunSang 9Dan, Cho HanSeong 9Dan vs Park JungSang 9Dan, Choi ChelHan 9Dan vs Won SungJin 9Dan and Lee SeDol 9Dan vs Cho HeaYun 9Dan.
Park JungHwan 9Dan seems to have more chances to win this tournament. He won last two years and keep his winning number 12 in Maxim Cup.
But Park JungHwan 9Dan has no official record to win against Cho HanSeong 9Dan and Yun JunSang 9Dan. This is an interesting point as Park JungHwan 9Dan is known to be a all-round player who has no natural enemy.
On the other parts, Lee SeDol 9Dan and Choi ChelHan 9Dan are ready to win and it is hard to expect who is going to win. |
