How to get the kifu from the last WAGC round?

While WAGC has been over for a couple of days, the organizers still haven’t posted the game records from the last round.

They did post links to the games they recorded at this link: http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/amakisen/worldama/28/e/kifu.htm but the links don’t work. For instance, I want to see the China-Romania game which is supposed to be at this link, but all I get is an error page.

Also, CyberOro - which is the only Go server I know of that did live broadcasts for a couple of games from each round (kudos to them for this!) has unfortunately chosen to upgrade their servers just before the last 2 WAGC rounds or so, and has only updated their Asian client - while all English users have been left in the dark for now.

Does anybody know how to find the kifu from the last WAGC round? Or how to communicate with the WAGC organizers to ask them to fix the broken links at the above mentioned web address?

    Strange. Your link doesn’t seem to work, but I can download the game when I visit the official homepage. Btw. Who were you rooting for? :)

    The player from my home country (croatia) finished 20th ^^ *cheers*

    How do you download it - can you please give me the link? Do you download it from under the “SGF” column, as a SGF file, or do you follow the link under the “Viewer” column and see the game in some sort of web-browser SGF viewer?
    (no link under the “Viewer” column work for me, while the ones under “SGF” all work except for the 8th round…)

    As for rooting: I wished Romania to get a very good result - which really happened :-)

    Seems like I downloaded the wrong game (Romania vs. Korea), my bad. All the games from round 8 don’t work. I tried all kind of stuff to download the sgf but it just doesn’t work. Let’s just hope they get this fixed soon (they could fix cyberORO too btw ;) ).

    I see, false alarm.
    I wonder why it takes them so long, I imagine that Japanese users are trying the same (from the equivalent Japanese page) and have already complained to the organizers.
