Yamashita defeats Cho in game 7, keeps Kisei title

Game 7 was played on March 19 and 20, 2008. This was the last game of the series: the Kisei title is a “best of seven” match, and the score before this was 3-3. Yamashita won by resignation and kept the Kisei title.

The game became most violent in the second half, when Cho tried (unsuccessfully) to turn the tables after Yamashita took territorial advantage around move 136. (Link to the tournament page)

    so my feeling was right that Yamashita Keigo won the kisei, eventhough Cho won. Well, I think Cho sensei must be very tired. He is also playing for Judan right.
