Where did you see that? According to this http://baduk.hangame.com/news.nhn it starts Dec 10 at 10am KST. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=20 ... A00+am+kst

Maybe you're talking about the baduk-tv broadcast, http://gogameguru.com/baduk-tv-guide/ it starts at 3pm KST. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2013-12-10+3pm+kst But I think that is 1 hour later than the time you gave.

2nd game,

Tang Weixing defeated Lee Sedol by resign.

Tang Weixing is new Samsung cup Champion and probably will be promoted to 9p.

China shuts Korea out in terms of individual tournaments this year. Even Japan even managed to win one!

Interestingly, I believe Korea won every team event.

There's so many crazy young prodigies in China right now. In 5 years who will stop these guys?

A very red year:

And for every winner it was their first international title (and no one won two). This only happened once before in 2006 (not counting the first year of international tournaments in 1988). Competition from the young-uns is really hotting up! But it remains to be seen how many of these new players have the longevity of the big names like Lee Changho, Cho Hunhyeon, Lee Sedol, Gu Li. Chen Yaoye is perhaps the exception in that he has been a top player for several years and many people would consider his 1st win overdue.

This Result has truly shocked me. Is this truly the end of an era? I hope not.

Anyway, I've been following (second to Lee Sedol) the results of Yang Dingxin. He seems to be very strong even at just 15. In the last year and a half he's beaten all of the Chinese players in that list.

Judging by Uberdude's table it's the first year since 2006 that Lee Sedol hasn't won a tournament.

Here's the second game:

An interesting position in the second game is here:

My initial thought was that the marked stones are weak. So I was surprised to see black opt to connect under. I figured it would have been more effective for black to jump out and continue to pressure the white stones, maybe with something like this:

However, maybe this is because of the weakness of the black stone shape:

Or maybe it's not acceptable to allow white to damage the left side like this:

Anyway, I wonder what the best way is for white to fight back, if black were to jump out without getting connected.

This does not work for black.
