    Any idea if Park will be promoted to 9p after her win?

    Not sure what the rules are…. but given that this is an international tournament I would think so.

    It looks like she was promoted to 9-dan (so she’s the 3rd woman 9-dan in the Go history, after Rui Naiwei and Feng Yun): http://www.godiscussions.com/forum/showthread.php?p=60859#post60859
