The 6th World Ing Cup, Gu Li 9p v. Yamashida Keigo 9p (Graph 1-7)
Gu Li 9p is one of the strongest pro in China, and Yamashida Keigo 9p is the current Kisei of Japan. Both players are top pros in the world. Gu Li 9p is white in this game. Black 11 is an interesting choice. Normally one would play at A or B.

KGS Suk B Choi Invitational – Part 1
From the first round of the KGS Suk B Choi tournament, http://www.gokgs.com/help/sukbchoi.html.Between Oysy 9d (B) and Cornel 7d (W). After Black 17, White has to choose between A,B, and C. Playing at A is solid but might be a little too conservative because Black will be able to build a nice shape as well. B [...]
6th Ing Cup, round 3 (Part 1)
