Kong Jie Wins International Samsung Cup

December 19th, 2009

I don’t think the sponsors of the international Samsung Cup were very happy this year, since no South Korean player made it into the final. In fact, the final matched two Chinese players: Kong Jie 9 dan (who defeated Gui Li, also of China, in the semifinals) and Qiu Jun 8 dan of China (who eliminated Lee Changho of South Korea in the other semifinal).

Kong Jie won the best-of-three match against Qiu Jun after two straight wins. Interestingly, Kong Jie also played in last year’s Samsung Cup final match, but he lost 0:2 against Lee Sedol.

The game record of the 1st game is here. Kong Jie (white) won by 5.5 points.

China Wins Asian New Star Competition

December 2nd, 2009

“Asian New Star” competition is a team match between Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan where each country’s participants are young professional players.

Each country is matched against each other. There are 8 players in each team: 6 male players and 2 female players.

This year’s competition was won convincingly by China, who won all 3 matches against other countries. South Korea was second (only lost the game against China).

The big surprise for me was the fact that Taiwan came in third, after defeating Japan 5-3! Japan lost all three matches… If the competition of young professional is any indication of the future (and I believe it is!), Japan has one more country to have trouble in Go competition with: Taiwan.

Here is the game between the team captains of China (Chen Yaoye) and Korea (Kim Jiseok). Chen Yaoye (white) won by half a point.

I was expecting the Japanese team captain, Iyama Yuta who is a super-star in Japan and recently captured Meijin title from Cho U, to put up more of a fight, but he lost all his games.
