Lee Sedol and Gu Li are answering questions from reporter.

One of question was when Gu Li is going to have wedding ceremony. Gu Li submitted their wedding to authority but has not had ceremony yet.


Lee Sedol


Gu Li

Lee Sedol said that if Gu Li was not there he wouldn't be here either and Gu Li inspired him to improve his Baduk a lot. And Gu Li is a friend whom he want to have a drink and always want to have Baduk match.

Gu Li Said that Lee Sedol lead his Baduk to a level he is at. Also he said that after Samsung cup semi final(losing to Lee Sedol 1-2) in 2004 when he was so confident about his Baduk, he realized that there is so strong Baduk player in the world. Also Gu Li said that he was very shocked when he heard Lee Sedol's temporary retirement.

Sourced from Oro.

Tonight, they will go at each other. What a matches these will be.......


Very good friend and rival...

!st game of final,
Lee Sedol won over Gu Li by 0.5.

The game was so intense. Outcome of game wasn't clear til the end.

Oh my, I want to see that game!

I thought Gu Li won the game. But Lee Sedol turned game around somehow and wind up winning 0.5.

Can't find the sgf anywhere, guess I'll have to wait for it on gokifu.com

Yes, it was very disappointing to see Gu Li lose from a won position.

I'll see if I can find .SGF to add to this post.

Wow. I was watching the game on Tygem last night up until move 146 but I went to sleep after that. I knew the game was close after Lee took the ko in the lower left but I thought Gu Li was still going to win.
