Is Choi Jeong going to reach round of 8? Very tough opponent......

王振飞：比赛是10月1日上午10点开始，尔豪能否狙击廷桓，敬请关注。我来了，静待大战开始↵

OK, so his postilion has been struck by lightning - that I can see - but I don't get why White was talking about the Khyber Pass. You can't drive coaches through there, surely? And this is a go forum not a Carry On film, you know.

It's funny how Xie Erhao has spelt doom for Iyama yet again...

[Elom]

Now I think about it, it could become a rivalry!

[xiayun]

Xie Erhao has beaten Ke Jie (group stage in round of 32), Park Junghwan, and Iyama Yuta in this tournament. And now he drew Ke Jie again for a best of 3. He will certainly have earned this title if he goes all the way.

Tang Weixing simply enjoys Samsung Cup too much comparing to his performance else where. Since 2013, he has won once, placed 2nd twice, and reached semifinal two other times (including this yer).
