Cho Kosumi and Koharu are 4th generation pros IIRC. Kitani-Kobayashi Reiko-Kobayashi Izumi-the Cho's

IIRC Lee Sedol had an unusual high rate of void games by triple and quadruple kos. It was discussed if it was a consequence of his fighting style or a strategy he displayed when things didn't go well for him.

It looks like there is influence of Reo Messi's fame both in the name choice and in the youtubers pronunciaton. Funny enough, Messi's name is Lionel so you can find both nicknames "Lío" and "Leo" (which normally comes from "Leonardo", a more common name in previous years, and is easier to pronounce ...

I don't remember the details, but EGF changes systems at 5p. The details were here , but I seem to recall something on the lines you ask.

Take care

Yes, up to 4d can be reached through internal competition. 5d to 8d only through earning points by qualifying top 16 and up in international pro ...

If we transfer this thinking to go, we can say that the reason we have pros is to produce game records, preferably of Messi-like quality. When spectacle fans play over games, they usually don't know what the time limits are, and quite possibly don't even care. Or what the prize money was. All they ...

My take is that Yang Dinxin is a World-Class top player so being able to pull out an upset against him, even in byo-yomi, is a remarkable feat.Let's not forget that he got to a better position by using all his time. If the situation were reversed maybe Shin could have parried Yang's attack or even ...

Kobayashi Satoru pointed out a myoshu in the center that Cho missed

From what I could get, he pointed out the winning move (three in a line) and said it was amazing that Cho found in 5 seconds

White won the five games on the final and so Mi Yuting wins his second MLily Cup.
Game 5 featured a huge center territory by B, followed by huge ko exchanges.

Redmond made a live comment on game 3

John F. made a remark in another thread about the AI style and territory but Mi Yuting won game 1 with a giant moyo and game 3 getting territory in the center from a severe attack. I've seen Shin Jinseo and Gu Zhihao do the same. I ...

It looks like she has to win one more before Cho. She plays the winner of Komatsu Hideki vs Tanaka Yuki? Then Cho Sonjin, then Michael Redmond if she keeps winning.

If I understand autotranslate correctly, on 1st round preliminary C of Meijin League, Okada Yumiko 6-dan passed and should have won by 7.5 but failed to defend ...

In a battle of stars Nakamura Sumire played Yoshihara Yukari 6-dan (née Umezawa) in first round of Women's Honinbo. Yukari, three times former Women's Kisei is famous for her participation in Hikaru no Go.

The Nihon Kiin Channel streamed the game with live comments, and you can also see the media ...

Great advice from everyone. My favorite "Have fun or take a break"

Here are my cents...

- Big part of level is reading ability, but if you are already doing tsumegos perhaps you are lacking tactical and strategical insights. That is what you want to achieve with your reading. Also check out your ...

In Wbaduk (...)I had forgotten about them, thanks! I have an account but haven't used it in a long time because the client crashed at the end of each game. Has it been solved?

Well... I have to change servers twice to log in in the pc client and the Android app crashes now and then, but it mostly ...
