No result from the 4-ko game.

I read (probably gogameguru or here) that it was declared as draw, not no-result or void. Practically all mean same thing, but not exactly. So do you know if it was draw or no-result?

We said it was a draw because that was the best information we had, but in Chinese it seems to be being written both ways (i.e. people are writing draw, but some others have written no result). I think this happens so rarely that a lot of people are confused about what to call it.

In any case, the officials ruled that the game had to replayed. The second game started in the early evening of the same day so, like Ed said, it must've really been tiring. Especially for Lee, to get up and play again the next day.

This exact situation is rare, but in general, I think this is one of the main reasons why top players get burned out and it's harder to stay at the top for long periods than it has been historically. Every year there seem to be more new tournaments and the strongest players seem to be flying between countries all week. It must be hard on their health and their families too.

Anyway, this is ostensibly a topic about ko. Does anyone want to analyze the position from a rules perspective? How would this have played out if superko applied?
