This week's Go scenes was rather exciting. On Oct 13-14, the Samsung Cup held the quarter-finals. Three Chinese players (Gu Li, Qiu Jun, Kong Jie) and one Korean player (Lee ChangHo) advanced to the semi-final. There were some very interesting games between top pros that I will examine later this week.
In Japan, Yuta 7P successfully challenged Cho U 9P in the Meijin tournament with a 4-1 score, setting a new record as the youngest Meijin title holder at the age of 20. Yuta is also promoted to 9P by winning one of the "Big 3" title tournaments in Japan.
I will provide the Meijin final game with some comments tomorrow.
