Post subject: | Gu Li and Lee Sedol's recent form |
The first game of the jubango is just 2 weeks away. Both player did not manage to win a single title in 2013. So the past year was bad for them. However, this is only on a relative term - they still managed to enter multiple finals. Gu Li has been doing really well after the new year. He entered the last 4 of the Chinese Qisheng tournament. Then yesterday he came from behind to beat Li Zhe 2-1 in the final of Chinese Longxing tournament - he won his last title 15 months ago. Lee Sodol on the other hand suffered another blow after the new year, losing to Cho Hanseung 3-1 in the Korean Kuksu tournament, his 6th (?) consecutive runner-ups. So it looks like Gu Li is in a better position to enter the jubango. |

I remember that somebody assigns ELO type ratings to the Asian pros, but don't remember who. Does anybody know where Gu Li and Lee Sedol currently rate in this list? Thanks. |

There are individual ratings for the Korean and Chinese professional systems. Dr. Bae Taeil has developed a system for international ratings, but I haven't seen an update of it since 2011. I might try and wade through the Korean/Chinese ratings to at least see how Lee and Gu compare against their compatriots, but it would be a heck of a lot easier for someone who reads Chinese or Korean to do it. |

According to the Korean Baduk site the current top 3 there are: 1. Park Junghwan 2. Kim Ji Suk 3. Lee Sedol From what I can see Lee Sedol was ranked as nr 1 in November, but fell down to 3. place in the December rankings. |

Thanks. While I wish it was #1 vs #1, at least they are both still in the top five. |
