I suppose this is the same Lyu who won last year's KPMC as a new 1p.

#1 female Choi Jeong has been leading for a while against world top-ten Gu Zihao, I wonder if she can keep it. https://home.yikeweiqi.com/#/live/room/16874/1/13712392

Update: she won!

Thanks for the updates trout. Btw Zhao Chenwi, Lee Changho's victor, is usually written Zhao Chenyu. #35 on goratings, he beat a load of 9p world champions in the prelims of some tournament a year or so ago. https://www.goratings.org/en/players/1363.html

Wow, Lyu Liyan beat Gu Li. Makes his beating up of Ilya Shikshin even more expected. Gu Li, like Lee Sedol, has declined in strength these last few years (I think he's doing a degree?) but he's still world top 100. I really like Gu's preparation 78-99 at the lower side for the upper attack 100 etc in his prior game, feels like out of a textbook:

thanks for the updates - I just registered in this forum although I've followed for a while.

Yes the new 1P Lyu Liyan is quite impressive in this prelims tournament besides Choi Jeong, he's beaten Xie Erhao (Goratings #10), Park Jinsol(Goratings #59), and Gu Li in round 3-5 of the prelims.

Another impressive 1P is Xu Jingen from Chinese Taipei, who eliminated Weon Seongjin (Goratings #49) in the 3rd round; and Jeong Seojun 3P (https://www.goratings.org/en/players/1908.html), who almost beat Mi Yuting in the final round.

Btw, I can assist to find some group winner's names from Goratings if that would be helpful

Group I: Peng Liyao (https://www.goratings.org/en/players/993.html)
Group J: Fan Yunruo (https://www.goratings.org/en/players/1207.html)
Group O: Li Xuanhao (https://www.goratings.org/en/players/1175.html)
Group P: Xu Jiayang (https://www.goratings.org/en/players/1399.html)

The prelims were great, but we already look forward to the main tournament in May, not sure who will be the lucky one selected by the sponsor? (I hope to see Lee Changho or Lee Sedol) :)

@macelee go4go record of Choi's latest win is incomplete. https://home.yikeweiqi.com/#/live/room/16901/1/13758514 has 31 more moves and more logical time to resign.
