Is Wang Chenxing going to break Moon Dowon's record 7 consecutive winning in Jeonggwanjang cup?

Depends on who the teams choose next

Although psychological impact to Japan and Korean is clearly increasing.

Wang Chenxing defeated Yashiro Kumiko by resign. There was a strange ko for which Yashiro gave up a 30 point group for for some reason. It might have been looking for a place to resign, but the game went on for a few moves after, so probably byoyomi mistake.

Black (Wang) played an interesting tenuki from a 3-4 high approach, contact from below joseki. The variation is not in Kogo's (well, rather, the first move of that variation was listed as "not recommended", but obviously Kogo's is a fairly non-authoritive source :p). The result looks quite interesting - if I played 3-4 I'd be interested in trying it out.

Wang Chenxing defeated Kim Hyemin by resign.

Wang has won 6 consecutive games.
Next stage will be held 4/6/2012.

I'd still slightly wager against it because Park Jieun is very good, but it would be quite the shock if Korea didn't win a single game.

Occupy Babel!

There was an empty corner, which is a good enough reason to tenuki many things. If black finished the joseki white would probably play in the empty corner rather than finish the joseki. In fact one idea is to peep the hanging connection, if white connects then black kosumis and if white takes the empty corner the peep has made white heavier so black has a better attack.

I wonder white white didn't atari at s4, if black connects it's a good exchange. Black has no threats to fight ko. Maybe she attaches to the other 4-4 and crosscuts or something to generate large threats first, but that entails quite a local loss, and white can back down from the ko without losing too much, probably less than black does by playing silly moves to generate big threats.
