BC Card Cup is a mixed tournament as amaterus can also participate. There were five Korean amateurs who each managed to defeat three professional players in a row to make it through the preliminaries, but of the five ones only Han Taehee won in the main tournament.

Yu Bin, a famous Chinese player who used to be in the top a few years ago, also lost to an amateur (Na Hyun).

Here is the game record between Yu Bin 9p and Na Hyun 6 dan amateur: Yu Bin, playing black, lost by half a point.

Weiqi: A symbol of the Chinese experience

January 7th, 2010

I just found this nice article about the game of Go and the Chinese culture: Weiqi: A symbol of the Chinese experience

A quote from the article:

By considering the board game weiqi (known as go in Japanese and familiar in the West under that name), one of the most significant symbols in the Chinese mental geography, one can develop a better understanding of Chinese dynamics in politics, in business, and even in more trivial social interactions. The Tao of weiqi envelops an esthetic and an intellectual experience that take us closer to Chinese psychology and give us insights on Chinese strategic thinking, but are also, to a certain extent, a way to approach the fundamental patterns of China’s collective success.

Jeongganjang Cup: Mukai Chiaki (Japan) Defeated Kim Hyeoimin (Korea)

December 24th, 2009

Cao Youyin of China defeated Umezawa Yukari of Japan after defeating Park Sohyun of South Korea. Then she lost to Korean Kim Hyeoimin.

The spectacular part of the Jengganjang Cup is the fact that any particular player can win the tournament for her country if she doesn’t lose any game. The longest winning streak this year was that of Wang Chenxing of China, who won three games in a row.

Kim Hyeoimin was eliminated by Mukai Chiaki 3 dan of Japan.

Here is the game record. Mukai Chiaki (black) won by resignation.

Yamashita Keigo Captured Tengen Title from Cho U

December 22nd, 2009

Yamashita Keigo won the fifth game in the best-of-five Tengen title match and captured the title from Cho U with a 3:2 score.

This title match must have been very tensed especially since these two will meet again very soon in an even more important battle: the first game of the Kisei title starts on January 14th with Cho as challenger, and Yamashita as the Kisei title holder.

Cho U had mixed results this year: he lost the Meijin and Tengen titles, but defended Gosei and Oza. Will he be able to capture Kisei for the first time, especially from Yamashita who has been Kisei for four consecutive years?

The 5th and decisive Tengen title game record is here. Yamashita Keigo (black) won by resignation.
