Korean Lee MinJin takes her second world title
with three straight wins against opponents from
China and Japan, a remarkable achievement.
After losing the Kisei title match Cho Chikun also
lost his Judan title to Honinbo Takao Shinji.
The latter took the title with three straight wins.
Twenty-five years after Cho Chikun's spectacular win
over Fujisawa Shuko this years Kisei title match was
a comparable cliffhanger. Title holder Yamashita Keigo had
to pull every string to keep challenger Cho Chikun
from taking the title.
IGS-Pandanet will carry live coverage of the 36th Paris
tournament, the final of the 2007-2008
PandaNet Go European Cup.
Lots of events and the presence of several professional
players. Highly recommended to attend or view on IGS-PandaNet.
Young Han SangHoon, 1p (remember?) gave Lee SeDol
a good fight for the 12th LG Cup, he took the 1st
game. But in the end the experience of Lee gave him
the edge. Fascinating study material, recommended.
Chang Hao wipes out all opponents to take the 9th NongShim
Cup to China. Well, actually to keep the Cup in China since
the last round was played in Shanghai.
Chang Hao sequentially beats Yoda, Takao, Lee ChangHo and
Park YoungHoon to decide the issue.
We have a new Female Meijin. Challenger Shei Imin, Honinbo
also took the 2nd game by a minimal margin despite strong
fighting in the late endgame by title holder Kato Keiko.
The title match for the 20th Female Meijin title started.
Title holder Kato Keiko, 5p will have a hard time against
youngster Shei Imin, 5p who took the first game by a
minimal margin.
