When the next round will take place? And will the game record be available?

Second round is on June 12th.

Color coding the players is a really nice touch, but I can only read the yellow by highlighting the names so there's better contrast. Maybe a green color would show up more easily?

I can't understand why black resigned in Iyama Yuta vs Zhang Tao game. Can someone explain it, please?

Li Qincheng vs Mok Jinseok
Li Zhe vs An Hyungjun
Tuo Jiaxi vs Lee Sedol

Results and some of the games in SGF are available at http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/news.html I don't know what the lag time is before results are posted, but it has all the results of the preliminary rounds and round 1, and SGF for many of the games, including the Iyama vs. Zhang game mentioned above.

It looks like white's far ahead on points if he wins the ko, and he has enough threats.

You could have made a killing betting on Kono Rin on Tygem at 14%. That seems to be the biggest upset of the round.

I am surprised to see Park Junghwan, Kim Jiseok, Gu Li, and Shi Yue all out early.

What were the odds for the other Jspanese players (if you know)?
