Re: 2017 22nd Samsung Cup
This is an interesting position that occurred in the game between Komatsu Hideki from Japan and Kim Cheayoung of Korea. Kim plays white and she lost a group on the right side earlier. White's last chance seems to be in attacking the large black group in the upper-left, which she has been chasing for the last several moves.
It is white's turn, and in the game white played at "a" and let black live with "b".
Why didn't white go for the kill with "b" instead?

Re: 2017 22nd Samsung Cup
It seems that white's strongest continuation is to defend around 8 in the last diagram instead of 7, let black capture, then sneak out below 5.

Re: 2017 22nd Samsung Cup
Quarterfinal matches:
An Kukhyun vs. Tuo Jiaxi
Park Junghwan vs. Gu Zihao
Shin Jinseo vs. Tang Weixing
An Sungjoon vs. Tong Mengcheng
Korea players have done well in the recent major tournaments, with two Parks in the Mlily semi and favorite to meet in the final and the success here. Their head-to-head records against Chinese players have been impressive.

Re: 2017 22nd Samsung Cup
I was disappointed with the Japanese players' games, both were quick - by the time I remembered to watch they were already over - and followed similar patterns: when try to fight, a very big dragon dies.
Isn't there a proverb saying "big groups never die"?
