2nd round;
Xie He defeated Jiang Weijie by resign.
Cho Chihoon defeated Liu Xing by resign.
Tan Xiao defeated Choi Chulhan by 4.5.
Cho U defeated Qiu Jun by 4.5.
Park Junghwan defeated Piao Wenyao by resign.
Lee Changho defeated Kong Jie by 0.5.
Fan Tingyu defeated Lee Sedol by resign.
Gu Li defeated Won Seongjin by 2.5.

0.5 or 4.5 - copying result from oro. Probably it is 1 or 5 points. When points is tie under Ing rule, b wins.

3rd round pairing(5/27)

Tan Xiao vs Fan Tingyu
Gu Li vs Xie He
Park Junghwan vs Cho Chihoon
Cho U vs Lee Changho

If the komi is 8 points, how did two games end with scores of +4.5?

Best wishes.

This is turning out to be quite the awesome event!!!

All of the three players I rooted for are off to a good start with wins! I'm especially happy that Lee Changho beat Kong Jie. I'm so happy to see him back in action. The game felt very like his distinctive style of play and I'm happy to see it once again. It's also great to see Cho Chikun kicking some arse internationally. Strangely, Cho U is playing for Taiwan isn't he?

hi, for TMark: see Xaos above, "Komi is 8 points, Black wins even games." That is, in effect, the Komi is 7.5 points. You know, Ing has to be different.

Cho U is Taiwanese, although pro from Nihon-kiin. I am confused if he is playing for Japan or Taiwan. trout wrote Japan, but I also read somewhere (Gogameguru?) that he is representing Taiwan in this tournament, which makes sense to me actually.

wbaduk is showing his flag as Taiwan and Cho Chikun's flag as Japan. Both are immigrants to Japan, so it is interesting.

How many seats does Taiwan have reserved at the tournament? It would hardly be shocking if Ing wanted strong ROC representation, and if the Japanese/Taiwanese players were allowed to compete for those slots.

cho chikun will play park junghwan and i think he will lose so park will have free ticket to final 4.
and lee chang ho will play cho u which looks like easy win for lee. another free ticket to final 4.

i am thinking that park will win ing's cup this year.

It's not unprecedented for immigrant professionals to play for their native country. I can't remember circumstances but it's happened before for Cho, and for some professionals there has been a bit of grousing.

AFAIK Cho U is still A Taiwanese citizen. Cho Chikun is a naturalized Japanese.

I am pretty sure top professionals don't underestimate their opponents that much. Free ticket, that is rude.

That is not what free ticket means here. It means that a player will lose deliberately.
