Does anyone know if the Lee Sanghoon is the brother (born 1975) of Lee Sedol or the other one (born 1973). As Lee Changho (born 1975) is playing they are both old enough. http://senseis.xmp.net/?LeeSanghoon.

Edited to put brackets in clearer place.

The non-brother, who is 9-dan. The brother is 8-dan. And Yi Se-tol was born in 1983.

Just in passing, GG Auctions Cup is a better rendering.

I thought Lee Sedol's brother was also 9 dan now; this wbaduk news article from when they both resigned (or threatened to, what ever came of it?) that player association hoo-ha a few months back also says 9p: http://www.wbaduk.com/news/news_view.asp?news_no=1544. But maybe it is incorrect?

You are right. I missed the last promotion to 9d in 2015-12. That also means my assertion about which player is in the GG Auctions Cup may be wrong.

You may wish to note that the Hanguk Giwon distinguishes them as follows:

이상훈(大) - the elder

이상훈(小) - the younger (and brother of Se-tol)

(i.e. Yi Sang-hun)

The player of GG Auction is Lee Sedol's brother. He's a pretty good player when he was young, but Lee Changho just too strong.

She has gained enough points from these old gentlemen, her ranking momentarily passing Yu Zhiying at goratings. However, Yu is doing extremely well too, winning her all 11 games in the Chinese Women's league so far.

Choi Jeong is playing Lee Sanghoon 9p (older brother of Lee Sedol) today. Not easy to judge who is winning by move 100... But looks like she will lose now. Actually she fought back really well and managed to save a zombie group with a difficult ko, and then killed a group that tried to live in her almost territory, but despite those valiant efforts was still behind and lost by 5.5 points. Amazing game though, she fought really hard trying to keep the women's team in the tournament.
