Kisei title goes all the way to the 7th game
Cho Chikun won
game 6 of Kisei by 4.5 points and evened the score to 3-3 (after being led 3-1 earlier).

Yamashita’s early attack in the upper right during
day 1 and the resulted thickness in the center didn’t pay off in the end, though: Cho’s territory prevailed so the Kisei title is going all the way to the 7th game!
The following diagram shows what happened after Yamashita’s attack in the upper-right ended: Black took profit on the left side (although the captured White stones still have aji), but White also became very strong in the lower-left. Also, White’s kikashi with 72 is put to good use later, when White cuts with 94.
